Airtel has partnered with Duolingo to give its customers free access to the app's premium Super Duolingo tier for a full 12 months, with no extra charge attached to the offer. The deal covers Airtel's mobile, Wi-Fi and DTH subscribers, opening up premium language-learning tools to a large base of users at no additional cost.
How to claim the offer
Customers can activate the subscription through the Airtel Thanks app. The company has confirmed that the benefit is open to anyone using its mobile, Wi-Fi or DTH services, and there is no need to enter credit card details to switch on the plan. Once activated, the Super Duolingo access runs for a year without a separate subscription fee, though the offer may carry its own terms and conditions.
What the premium tier unlocks
Super Duolingo strips out advertisements from the learning experience and adds a set of features built for more serious learners. These include Unlimited Energy, Personalised Exercises and Mistake Reviews, all designed to let users practice for longer and correct errors more effectively. The tier also includes an AI-powered Video Call feature, which lets learners hold real-time conversations with an AI to sharpen their speaking skills.
Access to more than 40 languages, and beyond
Duolingo currently offers courses in more than 40 languages, built around a game-like structure of short lessons, exercises and AI tools meant to make learning feel less like a chore. The platform isn't limited to languages either; it also runs courses in Chess, Math and Music.
New regional courses keep arriving
In India, Duolingo has been steadily expanding its catalogue of courses tailored to local languages. It recently rolled out a course to help Punjabi speakers learn English, adding to English-learning courses already available for speakers of Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil and Urdu.
A large user base gets access
The tie-up gives a substantial number of Indian users a way to pick up a new language without paying separately for it. Airtel counts roughly 376 million subscribers, which makes this partnership one of the bigger tie-ups Duolingo has struck in the Indian market.
