How to Restart Duolingo: Simple Steps to Begin Again

So, you’ve hit a roadblock with your Duolingo progress or simply want to start fresh with a language? Been there, done that. Restarting a language on Duolingo is easier than you think! Whether you’re aiming to reset your progress to zero or just remove a language from your profile, I’ll guide you through the simple steps.

First, navigate to the settings, usually marked with a gear icon in the top corner of your screen. Then, head over to “Manage Courses.” This is where the magic happens. By selecting the course you want to reset, you can either remove it entirely or start it over from scratch.

This process works across the board—whether you’re using Duolingo on your phone or desktop. And trust me, hitting that reset button can be weirdly satisfying. So, if you’re ready for a fresh start, dive into those settings and take control of your language learning journey!

Understanding the Basics Before Restarting

Restarting a language on Duolingo can be a fresh start for your learning journey. Before you dive in, let’s look at some basics to make the process smooth and clear.

First, know your base language. This is the language you use to navigate Duolingo. Changing or resetting a course doesn’t affect your base language, but it’s important you’re comfortable with it.

Think about what you want to achieve. Whether you want to brush up on basics or start fresh with a new approach, having a goal helps. Are you aiming to improve vocabulary, grammar, or just for fun?

Duolingo organizes its lessons into bite-sized units. Each unit covers specific topics and grammar points. When you restart, you’ll go back to these basics. This can be very useful if you need a strong foundation before moving to advanced levels.

Steps to restart:

  1. Open Duolingo and go to your profile.
  2. Tap the gear icon to go to settings.
  3. Scroll and tap “Manage Courses“.
  4. Select the language you want to reset.
  5. Tap the minus sign or “Remove” to delete the course.

Remember, removing a course will erase your progress in that language. If you’re sure, proceed and then re-add the course to start from scratch.

Restarting isn’t a setback—it’s a chance to reinforce what you’ve learned. Embrace it and enjoy the journey of rediscovering the language with fresh eyes!

Resetting Your Progress on Duolingo

When you reset your progress on Duolingo, you might be wondering how it affects your XP and lessons. You might also want to know the best way to remove and re-add languages to start fresh.

The Impact on Your XP and Lessons

Resetting your progress will erase your XP for the course you reset, but your total XP on Duolingo stays the same. The lessons you’ve already completed will be wiped clean for the specific course, giving you a brand-new slate.

When you start over, you’ll begin again from the basics. This can be useful if you feel like you missed key concepts or want more practice on early material. Keep in mind that your achievements and streaks tied to other courses won’t be affected.

Remember, though, your golden owl will fly away for the deleted course. This means no more shiny trophy until you earn it again by finishing all the lessons. If you’ve been using Duolingo for a while, you might want to consider if starting over is worth losing all those hard-earned challenges.

Remove and Re-add Languages

To reset a language course, you need to remove the course and then re-add it. It’s not too complicated but follow these steps carefully.

  1. Open the Duolingo app or website.
  2. Navigate to your profile by tapping your profile picture.
  3. Access settings by tapping the gear icon.
  4. Select “Manage Courses”.

From there, tap the minus sign next to the course you want to remove. Confirm you want to delete it. To re-add, simply go back to “Manage Courses” and select the language again.

If you are using the web version, click your profile picture and go to settings. Find “Learning Language” and remove the desired course. To re-add, just find the course on the language list and start fresh.

It’s a straightforward process, but make sure you really want to part with your progress before you hit that delete button.

Navigating to Settings on Different Devices

To restart your Duolingo course, you’ll need to navigate to the settings. This varies slightly depending on whether you’re using the web version or the mobile app.

On the Web

First, log into your Duolingo account on your preferred web browser. Once logged in, look towards the upper-right corner where you will see your profile picture. Click on it to reveal a drop-down menu.

In this drop-down, click on Settings. The settings page will open, giving you access to various options. From here, locate and click on Manage Courses. This is where you can reset or delete the language courses you are learning.

To remove a course, simply hit the minus sign (-) next to the course name. Confirm your choice, and it’s done. You’ve restarted the course and are ready to start fresh.

Navigate to the Duolingo app on your mobile device, whether it’s an Android or an iOS. Open the app and tap on your profile picture in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This takes you to your profile.

In your profile, tap the gear icon (or the settings icon) in the top-right corner. This opens the settings menu, which contains many options. Scroll down to find the Manage Courses section.

In Manage Courses, you can select the course you want to reset. Tap the minus sign (-) or the delete option next to the course name, and confirm your action to remove the course from your profile. You’ve now successfully restarted your course on the mobile app.
