Thanks community member areaman for sharing this deal
Note, if not already done so, you will need to create an Account and create a Profile to be given an option to purchase Super Duolingo Annual Plan. Plan will renew at 60% off regular price at time of renewal unless you cancel.
Lessons focus on a real-life goal — for instance, ordering at a restaurant. Learners develop the vocabulary and grammar needed to achieve that goal through lots of varied practice in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Duolingo allows learners to discover patterns on their own without needing to focus on language rules — the same way you learned your first language as a child. This approach, called "implicit learning," is ideal for developing a strong foundational knowledge of a language and its rules.
At Duolingo, we're committed to improvement. Test questions are embedded throughout our courses to measure how learners are progressing — and to show where Duolingo can improve.

I speak several languages. The best way I have found to learn a foreign language is to live abroad in a foreign country, preferably going to an actual language school there. I would recommend at least a 3 month minimum. This can be a possibility for some students in college, aka doing a semester abroad, but it's clearly not realistic for most other people.
Apps like Duolingo, MosaLingua, Mango, Rosetta Stone, etc can help you learn basic foreign language content. If it's a language that has a different alphabet than your primary language, these apps can help you learn to read in that target language. For example if you speak English and are trying to learn Russian, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet.
The next level beyond the basics you might learn using these apps would be to read newspapers or online sources in the target language, watch news programs and movies in the target language, listen to podcasts in the target language, watch videos on YouTube in the target language, most of which can be slowed down, if needed. Turn subtitles on in the target language, if possible.
AI sources like ChatGPT one day will become game changers. Although it's not quite there yet, even now you can structure ChatGPT to help you learn some foreign languages and to help you practice things you want to learn in those languages. It can even have conversations with you in those languages, and you can set the speed at which it speaks to you.
Again, right now ChatGPT is def not "there yet" when it comes to foreign languages. I have found when having conversations with ChatGPT, the accents in some languages are not always great, and there are often many grammatical and pronunciation mistakes.
At the moment, ChatGPT seems to do quite well in Spanish, so if that's the language you're trying to learn, def give it a try!
Duolingo has pretty much successfully ruined their free tier. You used to be able to earn more hearts by practicing lessons that let you review and refresh previous information that you might have forgotten. It was a good system. Then Duolingo nerfed it to only be able to do practice lessons when your hearts are zero.
And Duolingo has now been cracking down on non-educators who have been using Duolingo classrooms to get unlimited hearts. Duolingo free tier feels more like a "free trial" now. App was completely different when I first tried it 10 years ago. Now it's about making as much money as possible for their shareholders 😡
Ahh, who doesn't like a phantom discount during the holiday season! Annual Duolingo cost was $84 throughout the year, but if you compare this to _monthly_ cost, you might end up with a 60% discount. 😆
Lastly, a note from a polyglot: Duolingo is cute but it won't get you beyond the level of ordering your food or asking for directions in another country. There is no shortcut for systematic grammar and vocabulary learning and for a lot of reading. 🤷

Living and studying abroad is cool, but it's definitely more pricey than 60 bucks.
I was in Indonesia, then Vietnam and noticed they had local pricing. Paid like $30 USD in dong for a year of family. Came back months ago and still on the plan. So maybe VPN...
What is the cost if you buy Super for $60 then upgrade to Family Plan? Any savings there?
Don't know how much will they charge at the time of upgrade, but I did try to look up the prices currently being offered in the app. They are offering $60 for individual and $120 for family.

I tried to look up various purchase options (individual vs. family etc.) via their app, and I was surprised that the app does not even show you any prices till you first sign up for an account, and then do at least one course of 5 questions and a quiz. At least I could not find any way. I'm considering buying membership for my kids. So I didn't need to take a course. Very weird choice of designing an app. I couldn't find any escape button or anything. Only after you take the first course and a quiz does the bottom menu show up and there you can see prices.
Also, after reading some posts on Reddit, it seems not all language courses are built equal. You will find a lot of reviews of Duolingo in general, but make sure to read up on the specific language you are interested in. Seemingly, some languages have very short courses and not enough content to warrant the regular price.

I contacted Duolingo Customer Service:
"Oscar:
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out about the pricing for your Duolingo subscription. I understand your interest in the current offer you've seen for $59.99.
After reviewing your account, I see that you're currently subscribed to the Annual Super Family plan. It's important to note that the Family Plan is not eligible for the New Year's offer or promo.
Here are a few key points to consider:
1. The New Year's promotional offers are typically designed for new subscribers and are not available to existing subscribers.
2. These offers are usually for individual annual Super Duolingo subscriptions, not Family Plans.
3. The pricing and availability of promotional offers can vary and are subject to change.
If you have any other questions about our subscription options or if there's anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
Duolingo Support Team"
However, if accurate, the terms above say the renewal price will stay at the promo price for the future. I assume one could contact them and point out that, as a loyal customer, you'll be stuck paying the higher price in perpetuity when new customers will NEVER pay your rate?! That seems unfair, if true. I assume they would give you the offer price and terms vs. risk losing you as a customer. (This assumes you are paying more than $60/yr for the non-family plan.)
Just my two cents...
Considering between getting Duolingo for $60 vs. lifetime access to Rosetta Stone for $180. I don't need it for myself; need it to teach kids Hindi. I'm afraid it is getting too late to teach my 10yr daughter. Also, will be used by my 4yr old son. Duolingo does seem to be the more expensive option over time, but then their app does seem to be at least a bit appealing to kids. My daughter did used to enjoy their app when she used it a couple of years ago. I have no clue whether Rosetta Stone is as approachable for kids, or is it geared more for adults. No point spending so much if they don't end up liking it.Also, does anyone know how the services compare when two kids want to use the same service. I'm assuming Duolingo will not allow two accounts {one for my daughter and one for my son} with the $60 membership. How is it for Rosetta Stone in that respect? Will one lifetime membership allow both kids to learn simultaneously (I.e. independently save their progress etc.)
I recently did the Hindi tree on Duolingo. It is very short, and overall not very good. Decent for learning the writing, I guess.

Interesting I am studying Spanish daily… how exactly would you recommend using ChatGPT? I'm a bit fuzzy on your meaning. You mean just do searches/prompts in Spanish instead of English?

They've been playing their usual ads + this super duolingo ad after each of my lessons. A lesson is maybe 1-3 minutes for me, so 45 sec of ads has me looking for stuff to do during the breaks.
They occasionally offer me hearts through a 1-minute ad, whenever I'm not at 5/full hearts, but I need every minute of XP multiplier bonus to not demote. XD

The 6-person "Super Duolingo + Family Plan" is still a better deal at $120/year ($10/month for 6 accounts = $1.67 per super per month)
