Thank you, Greg. Thank you.

I just wholeheartedly believe that you can work better that way. I mean, most of what we do, not 100%, but most of what we do is creative stuff. It's just a lot harder to do so over Slack and Zoom. You know, that kind of worked out for about nine months during the pandemic. But it is actually impressive how, you know, when the pandemic started, we all had to go remote. We executed pretty well.

Towards the end of it, our ideas had kind of run out. I mean, we were executing the ideas, but we kind of had run out of new ideas. And it was pretty amazing. As soon as we came back to the office, within like three months, you would just see like all these ideas popping up. And it's because, my God, first of all, you can't sit in front of a whiteboard and talk about stuff.

Also, there's, you know, we have lunch together here every day. In the lunch line, you hear people being like, hey, I haven't seen you in a while. I thought of saying this to you. It's just something that you would never send a Slack for. I think the combination of all this just makes it a better company. I don't have that much proof, but I am extremely convinced of this.

Well, it's an app that teaches languages. That's what we're mostly well known for. As of the last couple of years, we also teach math and music. It's the most popular way to learn languages in the world. A few fun facts, for example, there are more people learning languages on Duolingo in the US than there are people learning languages across all US high schools combined.

And this is actually true in most countries in the world. We teach languages to more people than the public school systems.
