Nobody understands a city's language better than a local, and nobody talks more than a taxi driver.
In New York City, 87% of cab drivers are immigrants, which means they’ll put your language skills to the test with their diverse backgrounds. That’s why Duolingo is teaming up with NYC cabbies to turn every ride into a real-life language challenge. Hold a full conversation in your driver’s native language from pickup to drop-off—and we’re not talking small talk. We want real conversations. Do that, and your ride is on the house. If you can’t, you pay. An immersive way to test your skills with the most authentic teachers in the city that never sleeps: taxi drivers.
