Game-changing updates to our Chinese and Japanese courses - Improving how we teach Asian languages

Character-based languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean use visual symbols to represent whole words rather than spelling out words with letters in languages like you may see in the English language. That means that how Duolingo teaches these languages is different from languages using the Roman alphabet. Why is this important? For starters, billions of people speak these languages already! But as Haina will explain, there's been more interest than ever in learning Asian languages thanks in part to pop culture, food trends, social media, and more. After that, Celena will share exciting updates live now and coming soon in our Chinese and Japanese courses. - - - Presented as part of Duolingo Duocon 2023, a free global event at the intersection of language, learning, and technology: https://www.duolingo.com/duocon
