A Big Idea<\/h3>\n

Duolingo began in 2012, created by Luis von Ahn and Severin Hacker. Luis, a professor from Guatemala, wanted to make learning free for everyone. He\u2019d already invented CAPTCHA (those \u201cI\u2019m not a robot\u201d tests) and sold it to Google. His next goal? Teach the world languages.\n

The First Plan<\/h3>\n

At first, Duolingo was free because users helped translate websites while learning. Think CNN articles or BuzzFeed posts. Now, it makes money with ads and paid plans, but the free version still rocks.\n
