Duolingo’s Post

Rightly said! People tend to attract towards entertainment more than learning. That's why most of the educational apps does not perform well financially compared to entertainment apps like tik tok, instagram etc. But still developers of educational or learning apps comes with more creative ideas to make people engage more.
