Duolingo says the unlikely love story is yet another reason “to keep up with your daily practice.”
Amanda, who lives in the Philippines, downloaded the app in 2013 to learn multiple languages over the years. Rob, who lives in the U.S., joined Duolingo in 2020 to freshen up on his Spanish.
One day in 2021, Amanda started getting notifications: Someone kept congratulating her on her Duolingo practice streak — and it wasn’t Duo, the app’s overly assertive owl mascot. Amanda clicked on the profile and wanted to learn more about this mysterious person, so she found Rob on Facebook and sent him a message.
Sure enough, it was the Rob who’d been congratulating her on the Duolingo wins. It turns out, Rob had been searching for Amanda on Facebook, too, but hadn’t had much luck finding her. It only took a few messages between them to feel a "quick romantic connection," the blog post says.
