The project was started at the end of 2009 in Pittsburgh by Carnegie Mellon University professor Luis von Ahn (creator of reCAPTCHA) and his graduate student Severin Hacker, and then developed along with Antonio Navas, Vicki Cheung, Marcel Uekermann, Brendan Meeder, Hector Villafuerte, and Jose Fuentes. Inspiration for Duolingo came from two places. Luis Von Ahn wanted to create another program that served two purposes in one, what he calls a "twofer". Duolingo does this by teaching its users a foreign language while having them translate simple phrases in documents.

  • Duolingo (du-ol-ing-o) aŭ Pokelang (ポケラング) estas furora ludo rilate al ekzotika afero nome "fremda lingvo". Ĉi-koncerne estas pluraj ludvariantoj, ekzemple "Danish" kaj - nova: "Esperanto". Ĉi lasta estas cetere tiu, kies literojn oni ne ĉiujn povas senpere tajpi - estas do aparta teknika kromdefio en tiu ludvarianto. Kuriozaĵo: Fremdan lingvon iuj homoj, precipe eksterlande, ankoraŭ uzas anstataŭ la anglan por interkomunikiĝi - ne kredinde, sed trafe! Ludi Duolingo-n havas la utilan kromefikon, ke oni konatiĝas kun fremda lingvo tiom, kiom oni tion bezonas, por gajni la deziratajn poentojn, tiel ke oni finfine povu fiere diri: Mi lernis {fremdan lingvon}.
