Duolingo Max
Duolingo Max is Duolingo’s top subscription tier, adding AI conversation features such as Video Call and Roleplay to its language courses.
About this tool
Duolingo teaches languages, and also maths, music and chess, through short game-like lessons that adapt to each learner’s level and pace. Duolingo Max is the highest subscription tier, sitting above Super Duolingo, and it adds conversation practice powered by generative AI developed with OpenAI.
Its headline features are Video Call, where you hold a spoken conversation with one of Duolingo’s characters, and Roleplay, where you practise realistic scenarios such as ordering in a café or planning a trip. Max includes the benefits of Super, such as no ads and personalised practice, and is aimed at learners who want more speaking and conversation practice.
