    Books, teachers, and physical classrooms have gradually lost dominance as a means of learning new languages since the introduction of language learning solutions. With more than 8.6 million app downloads and in-app purchase revenues of about $113.38 million as of February 2022, Duolingo is the most widely used language learning software globally. And when you acquire a level of language skills, you may decide to stop using the platform or simply change it. In this case, you’ll need to know how to cancel Duolingo Plus (currently Super Duolingo) fast and easily.
