Updated on December 9, 2025 at 10:10 pm: Added rewards for Duolingo users.
Step aside, Ella Musk — there’s a new language professor in Teyvat, and he is Duo from Duolingo. This time, Genshin Impact Travelers are challenged to learn languages from around the world, not just Hilichurlian.
HoYoverse has teamed up with the language learning app for a limited-time event that shifts players’ focus from Teyvat’s daily commissions to real-world learning.
This Duolingo Genshin Impact collab is offering players the chance to earn valuable rewards, including free Primogems and exclusive in-game cosmetics.
What is the Genshin Duolingo collab 2025?
The Genshin Impact Duolingo collaboration is a partnership between HoYoverse, the developer of the popular open-world game Genshin Impact, and the language learning platform, Duolingo. This event encourages Genshin Impact players to explore the Duolingo app to earn in-game rewards.
To participate and qualify for rewards, players must download and actively use the Duolingo app within the collaboration window. This period runs from December 8, 2025, 12 a.m. UTC to December 27, 2025, 11:59 p.m. UTC.
| GENSHIN DUOLINGO COLLAB 2025 TIME ZONE | START DATE/TIME | END DATE/TIME |
| Pacific Standard Time (PST) | December 7 at 4 p.m. | December 27 at 3:59 p.m. |
| Central European Time (CET) | December 8 at 1 a.m. | December 28 at 12:59 a.m. |
| GMT+8 | December 8 at 8 a.m. | December 28 at 7:59 a.m. |
This event features several recognizable characters from both platforms. Duolingo’s mascot, Duo the owl, joins the world of Teyvat alongside familiar 5-star characters, including the General Mahamatra, Cyno, the Forest Watcher, Tighnari, and the Traveler’s ever-present companion, Paimon.
Sumeru characters being featured for the Duolingo collaboration is highly appropriate given Genshin Impact’s lore. Sumeru is renowned as the Nation of Wisdom and the home of the Akademiya. It is a region linked to intellectual pursuit and knowledge acquisition.
How to join the Genshin Duolingo collab 2025
The Genshin Duolingo collab 2025 quest requires users to opt-in and then successfully maintain a three-day streak within the Duolingo app. You can join the quest through two methods:
Joining Duolingo Genshin Impact quest after a lesson
- Finish a lesson in any language course on Duolingo.
- Look for the pop-up screen labeled “Genshin Impact Quest.”
- Tap “Join the quest” to officially enroll. Your progress toward the required three-day streak begins tracking automatically.
Joining Genshin Duolingo collab 2025 via the Quests tab
- Go directly to the Quests section of the Duolingo app.

Players must opt-in and join the Duolingo Genshin Impact quest by December 25, 2025, 11:59 p.m. UTC to allow sufficient time to complete the challenge. Opting in after this cutoff date is not be possible.
If the streak is broken before the three-day goal is reached, the player is unable to restart the quest. While Duolingo offers Streak Repair and Streak Freeze items, these do not count toward the required progression.
A Streak Repair does not restart participation after a broken streak, and a Streak Freeze does not add to the three required days. Only active lesson completion advances the quest progress.
