It's a big world out there. Billions of us trying to live, love, prosper, and ma
ke sense of our brief time on this planet. Since the dawn of humanity, we've bee
n passing information from one person to another through a common language. Unfo
rtunately, you can't communicate with others without knowing or learning their l
anguage first. A similar issue is manifested on the web where text can be penned
in dozens of different languages, each of which demands a reader's fluency. We'
ve developed an elegant solution to both problems -- a way for you to learn a la
nguage for free, while at the same time helping to translate text from the web,
enabling a wealth of language-shackled information to be liberated for all of hu
manity. It's called "duolingo". Here's how it works: Let's say you're a native E
nglish speaker who wants to learn Spanish. We start by giving you a sentence fro
m a Spanish web site and asking you to translate it. Wait. Back up. How can you
translate a language you don't know? First, duolingo only gives you sentences th
at fit your language level. Beginners get the really simple sentences from the w
eb and advanced users get the more complex ones. This way, everybody becomes a v
aluable translator. And second, if you're really lost, you can always see possib
le translations for words you don't know. Afterwards, duolingo helps you underst
and and memorize the words you hovered over through educational examples. You ca

n also vote on the quality of other students' translations, which helps you lear
n by seeing how others translated the same sentence. And because you create valu
able translations while you learn, we return the favor by offering duolingo comp
letely free of charge: no ads, no hidden fees, no subscriptions. Just free. To p
ut the potential benefit of duolingo into perspective, think about this: if one
million people would use duolingo to learn, the entirety of English Wikipedia co
uld be translated to Spanish in just 80 hours. Duolingo: Learn a language while
translating the web.
