Phrase of the year
Innovation and artificial intelligence They were also remembered by Duolingo, which chose “the bird is a bot” as phrase of the year. The platform reflects the dramatic increase in marketing campaigns, including fictitious protests against the robot bird AI adoption for digital services.

For Duolingo senior learning scientist and chief content editor Dr. Cindy Blanco, changes in language rankings and teaching dynamics reflect cultural shifts. “Languages are a bridge between cultures and we see it [essa] trend reflected in the data [nossos] students around the world, as global events continue to impact teaching standards,” he adds.
The platform’s report cites, for example, Russia’s war against Ukraine as reducing people’s interest in the language. At the same time, greater integration across Latin America has also meant that Brazil’s neighbors have taken an interest in our Portuguese, with Paraguay and Uruguay being the countries with the greatest interest in the language. Meanwhile, Korean has increased by 75% in major countries around the world, such as India and the United States, as a result of greater interest in the country’s entertainment and artists.
