Google coded a Duolingo clone in Google search. But of course it’s only available in select markets and it is 99.999% guaranteed to be killed within 3 years

    Why it’s already destined to be killed shortly, in my opinion:

    1. Available only on a very small selection of countries, with no plans of expansion

    2. Those countries are also the ones where phones are on the lower end and are less likely to have space for a giant, bloated Google search APK (on my pixel 5 the google app takes 1 gb of space + another gb for play services, on phones with 16-32 gb of storage there isn’t that luxury)

    3. It’s in Google search instead of a better suited app like Google translate (who’s going to think “let’s open Google search to improve my language skills”?)

    4. It’s from Google research and with this post they already proven their point. The devs now are thinking about the next project and this is probably in maintenance mode already

    It will disappear even before most people would have noticed it
