Language learning to music mastery: Duolingo does it all
The language learning platform Duolingo wants to widen its span and build a music learning app.
Tech Crunch noticed that Duolingo has listed a job ad for a"Learning Scientist for Music." The company is looking for "an expert in music education who combines both theoretical knowledge of relevant learning science research and hands-on teaching experience." It shows that Duolingo also wants to teach music, apart from languages.
"Duolingo is venturing into teaching music! Our strengths lie in building educational apps that are grounded in learning science and keep learners motivated — come join us to help build a new Duolingo music app that promotes learning and is fun to use," says the job posting. The person who will be recruited must have a Ph.D. in music education, music theory, educational psychology, learning sciences, cognitive science, or a related field and be able to work full-time from or relocate to Pittsburgh, PA.
Duolingo wants to widen its product span
This is not the first time the company is focusing on a different subject other than language teaching. Back in 2020, Duolingo launched its math app with similar features and concepts compared to its roots. Later during the pandemic, the company launched the ABC app, focusing on English literacy for kids ages 3 to 6. It helped parents teach their kids how to read and write while they were stuck at home. Music will be the fourth area it will get its hands on.
Recently, the company announced its partnership with OpenAI and launched Duolingo Max, an AI-powered language learning subscription tier with two new features. The Duolingo Max GPT-4 integration clearly helps the process of learning a language easier, and it might be used in the music app too. For now, we don't have any information about the upcoming app's future apart from what is written on the job listing. The company might try new technologies and methods or stick to GPT-4 LLM that is currently being offered with the Duolingo Max subscription.
The latest moves show that Duolingo has sped up its business moves and taken important steps to be in a better place by the end of 2023. It currently has over 500 million users, and with the new music app, it will even hit more incredible numbers.

Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
