Crunchyroll x Duolingo

Crunchyroll powers up Duolingo with hit anime phrases

Watching anime opens fans up to the Japanese language, giving streaming service Crunchyroll an opportunity to partner with translation app Duolingo. This collaboration coincides upon the sixth anniversary of the Japanese language course on Duolingo, adding some 50 popular phrases from anime.

Crunchyroll subscribers can take advantage of this partnership with Duolingo: premium subscribers are eligible for a two-month trial of the ad-free Super Duolingo, while free subscribers will get only one-month. Conversely, Duolingo users can grab a single-month of Crunchyroll’s Mega Fan package, giving them ad-free access to over 18,000 hours of anime.
