How to Delete a Language on Duolingo

Last Updated: March 18, 2019

Duolingo is a service that can help you learn a new language. You can work on this new language through the app on your mobile device or on a computer. This wikiHow teaches you how to delete a language you’ve signed up for on Duolingo. Unfortunately, the Duolingo app does not have an option to delete a language, so you will have to go through a web browser on your computer to delete a language from Duolingo.

Steps

1
Open a web browser. This includes Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
2
Navigate to https://www.duolingo.com/. The page you’re looking for looks like a night sky with an image of Earth centered with the text, “Learn a language free. Forever.”
- Login if you need to. The button to login is in the upper right of the screen.

Duolingo is chasing me for not doing Spanish. Should I delete Spanish?

Community Answer

If you aren't ever going to do Spanish on Duolingo, then you might as well. Alternatively, you can just disable practice reminders for Spanish in your settings.

This depends on your exact device, but usually this will be by long-pressing the app icon and then either pressing an 'x' in the top right corner (iOS) or dragging it to either a trash bin icon or a bar saying "delete" (Android).
