Duolingo is a well-known app for learning language that decided to prank its users on April 1st by announcing that it would be launching an Emoji Course. The humorous, emoji-filled press release from Duolingo promised to help parents, Millennials and grandparents around the world to refine their understanding and use of the emoji language in their day-to-day life.
Although the Emoji Course created for April Fool's Day currently has a dedicated page on Duolingo's website, those who click any of the links as if to pursue the course are simply directed to use Duolingo's app, which offers more than 80 courses for language learning.
To speak the language of younger generations, many brands are releasing keyboards, products and even entire campaigns with emojis at their center.
