Duolingo hopes to attract more learners and maintain their interest by integrating popular culture into language education. This innovative approach promotes language acquisition and fosters a greater appreciation for Korean culture among global audiences. 

As Squid Game continues influencing viewers, this partnership exemplifies how entertainment can effectively drive educational initiatives.
