30 Hilarious Duolingo Memes

Duolingo is a language-learning platform with a website, an app, and a sociopathic owl mascot that threatens users to continue their courses.

From passive-aggressive notifications after a period of inactivity to visiting your bedroom while you’re asleep, it knows no limits.

As the owl became more and more confident in its wicked ways, some 300 million Duolingo users started creating memes to tell about the times it came hunting for them.

That’s right. It doesn't matter if they’re learning conjunctions or idioms; the owl is always watching and waiting. And if they haven’t completed their daily task by midnight, it’s a bloody nightmare.

Continue scrolling and enjoy some of the funniest Duolingo memes from Twitter, Instagram, and any other corner of the internet!

Initially, Luis Von Ahn wanted to create a program that would both teach its users a foreign language and have them translate simple phrases in documents, though the translation feature has since been removed.
