US-based language learning app Duolingo has expanded its Indian language courses by launching an English learning course for Telugu speakers. Telugu, the fourth most spoken language in India and one of the top 20 most spoken languages globally, joins the ranks of Indian languages available on the platform. This new offering aims to empower Telugu speakers by providing a free and engaging platform to master English, recognizing the language's significance in career enhancement and accessing educational resources. A recent survey conducted by Duolingo and YouGov revealed that 90% of Telugu speakers believe English is crucial for career advancement, and 81% view it as a confidence booster for engaging with English-speaking communities. India is one of Duolingo's key markets, with a substantial user base, particularly for languages like Hindi, French, Korean, and Spanish.
