In an announcement at Duocon 2025, Duolingo's annual global event, the app announced the new integration with popular networking site LinkedIn. Duolingo says the innovation helps "bridge the gap between language skills and opportunities".
"Our goal has always been to make the best education in the world available to everyone. With these updates, we're taking another big step in that direction," explains Luis von Ahn, Co-founder and CEO of Duolingo.
"Whether you're adding your Duolingo Score to your LinkedIn profile or battling a real person in a chess match coached by Oscar, we're showing that education can be useful, credible, and actually fun."
Duocon also highlighted Duolingo's AI-powered Video Call feature which allows users to practise conversations with personalized calls.
The feature is available in nine of the app's most popular courses and offers real-time feedback and post-call reviews.
