Crunchyroll and Duolingo announce anime-inspired language learning course
Crunchyroll is teaming up with Duolingo to help people learn Japanese through the power of anime.
Announced today, Duolingo has launched over 50 noticeable phrases heard in anime as part of their Japanese language course. To celebrate the partnership, premium Crunchyroll subscribers can get a two-month trial of Super Duolingo, which is the premium ad-free tier of the language learning app. Free Crunchyroll users can get a one-month trial of Super Duolingo here or with the promo code “CRUNCHYDUO”. The deal ends on July 16.
Terry Li, Senior Vice President of Emerging Business, Crunchyroll said this about the collaboration:
“Anime is a dynamic medium and we know viewers have a curiosity for learning. Now on Duolingo, fans worldwide can celebrate anime through learning iconic phrases from their favorite series. We also hope anime-curious learners will be intrigued by their Japanese lessons on Duolingo and will explore all that anime has to offer on Crunchyroll.”
George Audi, Senior Director of Business Development at Duolingo also said:
“We chose to partner with the leader in anime entertainment, Crunchyroll, to advance our Japanese course because we know watching TV shows and films in the language you’re studying is a great way to learn and we wanted to offer our learners a way to further immerse themselves in the Japanese language through anime. We hope this partnership will be as delightful to anime fans as it was for our Learning, Design and Marketing teams to work on!”
