Wales’s minister for education and the Welsh language said he will write to the company to see how the government might be able to support the course’s continued development.
Dywedodd Mr Miles y byddai’n gofyn i’r cwmni ystyried sut y gallai’r llywodraeth - sydd â tharged hunan-osodedig o gyrraedd miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050 - gefnogi datblygiad y cwrs, gan weithio gyda’r Ganolfan Dysgu Cymraeg Genedlaethol. Roedd ffigyrau Cyfrifiad y llynedd yn dangos bod 24,000 yn llai o siaradwyr Cymraeg o gymharu â degawd yn ôl a dywedodd adroddiad yn gynharach eleni fod amheuaeth ynghylch cyrraedd y targed. Ychwanegodd Mr Miles: "Mae Duolingo yn adnodd gwerthfawr a all helpu dysgwyr ar eu taith i ddod yn siaradwyr Cymraeg, ochr yn ochr â chyfleoedd dysgu iaith eraill. Roedd y tiwtor iaith Richard Morse yn un o’r rhai a fu’n gweithio am nifer o flynyddoedd i roi cynnwys y cwrs at ei gilydd.
I’m not so bad, thanks for asking - how are you?

I sympathize with you, old squid.
How is this not the top comment?!
I was looking for this in the above comment
You make a strong case. Maybe people should learn…that.
It’s really useful! It’s spoken across the world in … Uh, one country that’s not even really it’s own country. In fact you’d be better off speaking English there.
I get the desire to preserve it as history, but it’s really not up to a private company to do something about that. And I say this as someone who knows private companies should be doing a lot more for people and the world than they are.
Mr Miles said he would ask the company to consider how the government - which has a self-set target of reaching one million Welsh speakers by 2050 - could support the development of the course, working with the National Center for Learning Welsh. Last year’s Census figures showed that there were 24,000 fewer Welsh speakers compared to a decade ago and a report earlier this year said there was doubt about reaching the target. Mr Miles added: "Duolingo is a valuable resource that can help learners on their journey to become Welsh speakers, alongside other language learning opportunities. Language tutor Richard Morse was one of those who worked for several years to put the course content together.
It’s actually cool to see a government body embrace new technologies to promote their language and culture.
It is! It’s unfortunate that Duolingo killed the volunteer program.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Welsh course on language learning app Duolingo will no longer be updated from the end of the month.
The course, which the company describes as “the world’s most popular way to learn Welsh online”, will remain available but not developed further.
“Duolingo is a valuable resource which can help learners on their journey to become Welsh speakers, alongside other language learning opportunities,” Mr Miles added.
He wants to see an extension of another year to allow the National Centre for Learning Welsh to complete its work on the course.
