Hello friend! In this post, I’ve shared the answer to: “How to add friends on Duolingo in 2023?!” It can be hard to find this information online, so I wanted to provide the exact steps it takes on how to add friends on Duolingo in 2023, as well as some hacks or tips to make things easier!
I’m a HUGE Duolingo fan and nerd (I’m currently learning French and Arabic – Modern Standard Arabic, that is), and I think that adding friends on Duolingo is one of the smartest things you can do! After all, Duolingo HQ has shared that “Adding friends on Duolingo makes you 5 times more likely to finish a language!” How freaking cool is that?
Let’s get into it!
This post is all about how to add friends on Duolingo?
How to Add Friends on Duolingo in 2023?
In the post below, I’ve shared how to add friends on Duolingo in 2023, breaking down how to do this on both Desktop and iOS mobile device (as I own an iPhone)! Please note that all information in this post is subject to change (Duolingo, like many learning app companies, test app changes in small groups before rolling out changes — so your phone may look different!), and that I’m sharing information I’ve personally found! Duolingo can change how things work at any moment (they’re in charge!), so please doublecheck my info! <3 My goal in writing this post is to save you TIME, but things can change overnight! Love ya! <3
But before we get started, I want to share 3 of my BEST tips when it comes to how to add friends on Duolingo:
- Share your link on social media — OFTEN! At least 5 times! I’ve personally been using Duolingo for a few years, and I’ve found that it can take a few nudges to get people to remember to click on a link! Not because they don’t want to, but because the world can be so loud and busy! For this reason, I recommend sharing your Duolingo friend link MULTIPLE times to get people to add you (I’ve shared the exact steps on how to get your link below).
- Use the in-app features to congratulate your Duolingo friends and cheer them on! Duolingo has a sort of mini-social feed on the 2023 app, where you can go to congratulate your friends on milestones or achievements! Make it a point to tap that “Congrats” button and cheer them on! (I’ve found the more you do this, the more Duolingo will send a little pop up alerting you to a friend’s achievement, so you can congratulate them!)
- Encourage your friends to sign up for Duolingo! If you’re learning a new language for a trip with friends or other thing happening in your life, I def recommend that you encourage your BFFs to START learning on Duolingo. i’ve personally found that being on Duolingo with friends is a great way to connect with my BFFs as an adult, especially friends who are long distance!
Ok, enough tips for now! Let’s really dive into things!
You can definitely connect with friends already on the app, but I think it’s EVEN BETTER if you get friends to sign up for Duolingo — so you can tackle new challenges together!
I hope this post on Duolingo helps you get started learning a new language — and I’ve also shared a bunch of other helpful Duolingo posts I’ve written at the end of this blog post!
Happy learning!
