There is probably no other program that has achieved the same level of customer loyalty as Duolingo, the gamified language-learning tool that 34 million users don't want to stop using every single day. In the article, it is mentioned that Luis von Ahn, the CEO and co-founder of Duolingo, is not unfamiliar with the experience of being a migrant. Due to the fact that he was born in Guatemala and had no prior experience with the English language, he made the decision to develop a free app with the intention of providing education to all individuals.
