Junior (ジュニア, Junia) is one of the Duolingo main characters who appears in the stories, lessons and other events. He is a devious, fun-loving boy, and is the first and only son of Eddy.
| “ | Some may say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, but this can't be more wrong when it comes to Eddy and Junior! 🍎Junior's Streak is at 227 days and Eddy's is at, well...1. 🥴 While Eddy would rather lift weights all day, Junior would prefer talking your ear off about frog facts. 🐸📚 Eddy's still figuring out this whole parenting thing (you know, like the rest of us) and Junior’s always keeping him on his toes! |
