Nal’ibali Chief Operation Officer, Katie Huston said in a statement that “For years, we’ve been working to elevate the status of South African languages by creating and distributing high-quality stories for children,' Duolingo worked with the South African organization Nal'ibali on the Zulu and Xhosa courses. The app is expected to receive five more languages soon: Haitian Creole, Zulu, Xhosa, Tagalog and Maori. The company says it has built new kinds of exercises to help folks get to grips with the character-based languages. Skipping to a level higher than 1 costs 200 gems on iOS.In addition, Duolingo is hoping to make it easier for users to learn languages with non-Latin-based alphabets, such as Japanese, Korean, Russian, Greek, Arabic and Hindi. Duolingo Plus allows the student to take unlimited tests. The price is 5 lingots in Android and on the web and 7 in the X version.

On the web (except the X version), to skip to level 1 also must be equipped using lingots.

In the apps to skip to a level higher than 1 must be equipped using lingots. In the apps the message is 'Skip to Level 1!' and in the web it is 'Jump to Level 1!'. The skip level button is a little key that appears when you press the icon of a lesson that is currently in level 0, and therefore it's colored but its crown is in gray. This has been removed after the new path update. Following the creation of the Crowns system in May 2018 this feature was removed, by April 2019 the featured had returned. The user can also test out to a particular checkpoint if they know all of the skills before that checkpoint. Its format is similar to a lesson (having 17 to 20 sentences from the skill itself) except the user cannot peek at words for their definition, much like a placement test (a test on the whole tree). A Skip Level or Jump Level (previously called test-out) allows a user (if they know a certain skill already) to individually go up one level of that skill.
