Learning new languages could be a long and boring process for some people, but this isn’t the case with the Duolingo app. In fact, the popular app has taken learning languages to a whole different level thanks to its genius marketing strategy: The Duolingo bird.

The Duolingo bird, notoriously known for its extremely aggressive approach to reminding its users, has become a meme at this point. Let’s take a look at some of the best Duolingo memes there are, to see how creepy a studying app mascot can be.
