Closed petition First Minister to intervene & save Welsh Duolingo.
Duolingo will no longer update its Welsh course from the end of Oct 2023, with no further development.
This petition is to call for the First Minister to personally intervene with Luis von Ahn, the CEO of Duolingo, with the aim of saving the Welsh course.
More details
There are currently over 650k active learners of Welsh on Duolingo & over 2 million have learned some Welsh on the course.
Welsh Government’s target of 1m people with B2 & better skills by 2050 will surely be negatively impacted by this.
