I'm definitely keeping an eye on $Duolingo, Inc.(DUOL)$ , especially considering its impressive growth recently. With their early partnership with OpenAI and the increasing interest in language learning (especially Mandarin), it seems like a solid long-term play. That said, I'm a bit cautious about the sustainability of this trend, as Mandarin can be quite tough, and if people get frustrated, they might give up. So, while I'm optimistic about Duolingo's potential, it might take more than just the buzz around Mandarin to keep momentum going.

Personally, I would use Duolingo to learn languages, as it's an easy and fun way to build a foundation. I've used Duolingo to learn some French during my study in France, and while I've enjoyed it, I agree that some lessons (like "I am a woman" or "You eat an apple") aren't super practical for travel. However, I find the app's gamified approach helpful for staying consistent.

For learning Mandarin, I recommend a combination of apps and YouTube videos, as well as watching movies, dramas, and other content in Mandarin. The more you immerse yourself, the faster you'll pick up the language. It's crucial to get used to the tones and rhythm of Mandarin, which can be a bit tricky at first, but with consistent practice, you'll improve quickly.

When traveling abroad, I prefer learning the basics of the local language first as it makes the experience more immersive and rewarding. But I also use translation apps when needed. I usually snap photos for translation or use speech translation apps to communicate, and everything works quite well for quick interactions or reading menus.

As for relevant stocks, Duolingo's rise has certainly caught the attention of investors. Its growth trajectory, backed by AI advancements and increased language-learning interest, makes it a strong contender in the edtech sector. However, the competition, such as $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ , which still holds significant influence in the social media space, could pose risks. It's important to consider the long-term viability of Duolingo's monetization model - while it has great user engagement, turning that into sustained profits will be key.
