How to Delete a Duolingo Course on Mobile & Desktop 

Learning a new language on Duolingo is both fun and effective, but sometimes you might want to remove a course that you no longer need. Whether you started learning on a whim or just want to focus on specific languages, deleting a course can help keep your Duolingo experience organized.

Why Delete a Duolingo Course?

There are several reasons why you might want to delete a Duolingo course:

• You accidentally started a course and don’t intend to complete it.
• You want to focus on a different language without distractions.
• You no longer have interest in a language you previously attempted.
• You prefer to reset your progress and start fresh.

No matter the reason, Duolingo allows users to remove unwanted courses, but the method varies slightly between mobile and desktop.

How to Delete a Duolingo Course on Mobile

As of now, Duolingo does not provide a direct option to remove a language course from the mobile app itself. However, you can easily delete a course through the web version of Duolingo by using a mobile browser. Follow these steps:

1. Open your preferred mobile browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.).
2. Visit Duolingo’s website and log into your account.
3. Tap the profile icon (top-right corner) and select “Settings.”
4. Navigate to the “Language” section.
5. Find the course you wish to remove and click “Remove” or “Reset or remove languages” (depending on the layout).
6. Confirm your action, and the course will be deleted from your account.

After completing these steps, the deleted course will no longer appear in your app.

How to Delete a Duolingo Course on Desktop

If you’re using Duolingo on a computer, removing a course is even more straightforward. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Go to Duolingo’s official website and log in.
2. Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner.
3. Select “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
4. On the left-hand menu, click “Learning language.”
5. Find the course you want to remove and click “Remove” or “Reset or remove languages.”
6. Confirm the deletion.

Your course will now be permanently removed from your account.

Things to Keep in Mind

Before you remove a course, here are some important considerations:

• Course removal is irreversible: Once you delete a course, all of your progress in that language will be lost.
• Resets are an alternative: Instead of deleting, you can reset a course to start from scratch while keeping it in your account.
• The mobile app has limitations: You must use a browser (even on mobile) to remove a course.

Final Thoughts

Deleting a Duolingo course is simple, especially if you use the web version. While you can’t remove a course directly from the mobile app, using a browser on your phone or desktop ensures an easy solution. Whether you’re cleaning up your language list or starting fresh, managing your courses effectively helps keep your learning experience enjoyable.

Now that you know how to remove a language course, you can focus on the languages that matter most to you!
