Greatest Hits: How Duolingo Used Psychology to Make Learning Addictive

Duolingo is one of the world’s most successful learning-based businesses. In 2023, it made nearly half a billion dollars in revenue (a 46% increase from the year prior) and had 16.3M daily active users. Maybe its success isn’t surprising — there are lots of reasons to want to learn a new language: Maybe you’re planning a trip abroad, you’d like to improve your job prospects, or you were inspired by a popular movie or show.But here’s Duolingo’s big challenge: It’s easy to be excited about starting a learning journey. But it’s much harder to stick with learning than most people think. But Duolingo has been remarkably successful keeping people engaged with digital learning. They boast a daily active user retention rate of about 55%.Why? Because they use psychology and behavioral science to keep us learning.Join me (Jen Clinehens) today as I unpack the psychology behind Duolingo's massive success.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Please take 12 seconds to rate and review the podcast because it helps us find new listeners ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐COACHING✅ To learn more about working one-on-one with Jen and book your free Connection Call, visit https://www.choicehacking.com/coaching-inviteThis month I have 3 spots available - first come, first serve.FREE RESOURCES✅ Get a free digital copy of my bestselling book for a limited time, Choice Hacking: How to use psychology and behavioral science to create an experience that sings.
