The APPG was delighted to host this event capping a wonderful few weeks in which MPs and peers took part in this challenge and shared their enthusiasm for languages. Delighted to work with Duolingo and Michael Lynas 's team to boost the visibility of languages in Parliament.

Even Lily is excited about DETcon London. We’ve got amazing speakers for this Duolingo conference including our CEO Luis von Ahn and Rory Stewart in conversation with Sonia Sodha. Looking forward to it!

Bittersweet moment getting together with the @NCSTrust board for a last supper. We shared reflections on the massive impact that NCS has had on 1M+ young people across the UK and many more communities, local and national charities, parents and those who worked on the programme.

Worth reading The Times and The Sunday Times interview of Duolingo founder and CEO Luis von Ahn if you want to understand what makes Duolingo tick. TLDR - mission driven (open up access to education), combined with using the latest technology and don’t forget to make it fun! thetimes.com/article/0236db…
