'''Immersion'''  is a discontinued feature of Duolingo. It allowed users to practice the [[language]] they were learning by helping to translate real-world documents from that language into one they already knew.<ref>[https://www.duolingo.com/comment/302767 New "Immersion" tab]</ref> This feature was only available for few courses (see [https://www.duolingo.com/comment/14179375$comment_id=14180819 here]).

The Duolingo CEO announced in June 2015 that they have stopped developing immersion<ref>http://techcrunch.com/2015/06/10/duolingo-raises-45-million-series-d-round-led-by-google-ventures-now-valued-at-470m/#.xsym0u:2MHQ</ref>. The last course to gain an Immersion tab was the English for Romanian speakers course (which reached beta phase on 2014/02/04). Around December 2015, Duolingo started an [[Wikipedia:A/B test|A/B test]] to evaluate Immersion.

After much speculation,  Immersion was withdrawn on 19th January 2017<ref>https://www.duolingo.com/comment/20364950</ref>.
