Tinder is helping singles learn to flirt in other languages by partnering with Duolingo, the companies announced earlier this week.
The dating app will be giving 100,000 users a free month of Duolingo Plus, which offers lessons in 40 languages.
The partnership is a way for Tinder to support users who are taking advantage of its free "Passport" feature, which allows people to connect with other users globally.
