So these are the three things that we're working on, and we're going to be working on that for the rest of the year.

And we're expecting that towards the end of the year, we're going to see some improvements in our year-over-year growth rate.

We're still growing.

I mean, we've had five years of really phenomenal growth.

We IPO-ed in 2021.

Since then, we've more than 5x-ed our active users, so we expect that we'll continue growing pretty strongly.

Historically, what we have done is we have tried to, you know, the way we generate value on Duolingo is there's two parts to it.

One is how many active users we have.

That's kind of like the size of the pie that has grown quite significantly.

And then there's how many of these people are paying us because we have this

That is the number of people that are actively using Duolingo because it is our belief that

Because of the moment that we're in, we really want to have as many people as possible actually learning something meaningful in Duolingo.

And once we're able to do that, I mean, one of the main advantages that we have, certainly against new entrants, is scale.

There's no other education app that has the scale that we have.
