Since 2023, Duolingo has offered iOS users Math and Music courses alongside the host of language-learning courses. Now, finally, the Math and Music courses are also rolling out to the Android app. So, there’s now no excuse to not know that 2 + 2 = 4.
Duolingo Brings Music and Math to Android
Ahead of Duocon 2024, the Math and Music courses that have been available on iOS since October 2023 started rolling out to Android users. If you can’t see them in the course picker yet, just update the Duolingo app to gain access to them.
Even if you don’t go looking for them, the next time you use Duolingo, you may see a popup introducing you to the two new courses, and inviting you to start learning.
The Math and Music courses should be available to start at any time from the Course Picker found in the top left corner of the app. Tap it, then tap on the + Course icon. Duo will ask you what you want to learn, and you’ll find the Music and Math courses alongside French, Spanish, German, and all the other languages that Duolingo has offered for years.
Adding New Skills Beyond Languages
Duolingo’s Math course is designed to appeal to both children and adults alike. There’s a Beginner section packed full of “foundational skills for kids,” and an Intermediate section with “more challenging exercises” designed to “enhance everyday skills”.
Duolingo’s Music course has been designed with allcomers in mind. Before commencing, you’ll be asked about your experience level, and you can then choose Section 1 or Section 2 as your starting point. Section 1 asks you to “play your first notes and songs,” while Section 2 has you “play songs with white keys”.
While the Music and Math courses are different from the standard language courses due to the skills being taught, they utilize the same basic lesson structure and gamified learning experience. Which means they look and feel both familiar and new at the same time.
This Super Duolingo Subscriber Is Interested
As a Super Duolingo subscriber myself, I have to say that these additions have renewed my interest in using Duolingo on a daily basis. While I have always enjoyed learning new languages on the app, the chance to change things up by learning music and bolstering my math skills is refreshing. 2 + 2 = 5, right?
