Michael D. received the lads responsible for the Irish course on the Duolingo app at the Áras in a special get-together earlier today.
Writes Conradh na Gaeilge:
The seven contributors who created and translated the popular Irish course on Duolingo were honoured by the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, at a special reception to be held at Áras an Uachtaráin on Friday November 25th. Since the Irish course was launched just over 2 years ago, over 2.3 million people have used Duolingo to learn Irish. This means that Irish is now amongst the 10 most popular languages offered by Duolingo, with the majority of new learners located in the United States.
Comhghairdeas.
