Duolingo Launches New AI-Powered Subscription Tier

The company implemented GPT-4 features in a limited amount of language courses.

Duolingo rolled out a new subscription plan on Tuesday that utilizes artificial intelligence to power a fresh set of tutoring features. In a blog post, the language-learning company said it’s partnered with Open AI to use GPT-4, the latest version of the ChatGPT model that launched Tuesday. Called Duolingo Max, the premium tier grants access to everything in the Super Duolingo subscription but includes two new features: Explain My Answer and Roleplay.

Explain My Answer allows users to get more insight during a lesson by enabling them to «enter a chat with Duo to get a simple explanation on why their answer was right or wrong, and ask for examples or further clarification.» Roleplay provides an interactive conversation experience that allows you to chat with an AI character in guided scenarios. Duolingo says each conversation is different on the platform, and users receive feedback and advice on their replies.

The company shared that humans provide oversight on the answers generated in Roleplay and Explain My Answer, and they write the hypothetical scenarios for Roleplay. Duolingo also encourages its learners to report any bugs or mistakes they encounter while using the new features.

Currently, Duolingo Max is available to English-speaking learners in the US who are taking courses in Spanish or French on iOS. The cost is $30 per month or 168 a year, and you can find it by clicking on the Shop tab in the app. Duolingo aims to expand the features on more platforms and language courses in the future.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
