DUOLINGO, A CROWDSOURCED translation service which helps people learn languages, is searching for Irish tutors.

The website has over 25 million users, who learn languages through games both on the website and apps. The translation is provided purely by other users and the service is free.

Now, they are looking to expand the number of languages they offer, with Irish on the list.

To contribute, people are asked to tell the website’s administrators why they want to be involved, in Irish.

Those applying must be fluent in both English and Irish, committed and passionate.
