How to download / export your Duolingo words list for free

Edited: 7th November, 2025

You may have reached a limit to what you can do on Duolingo. Serious leaners often use multiple sources to learn a language. Duolingo does not allow you to easily export or download your vocabulary or words list consisting of the words you've learned. To practice your words on Duolingo, you have to upgrade to one of their premium plans such as Duolingo Super or Duolingo Max.

But with the Hemiglot Browser Extension, you can download your words for Free and super-charge your language learning by uploading your words to sites like Quizlet or Ankicard.

Simple Instructions

Here's what we will be walking through in this tutorial, step by step.

  1. Setting up the Hemiglot Extension
  2. Opening up Duolingo
  3. Finding your Words list
  4. Downloading your Words list

1. Setting up the Hemiglot Extension

Open up Duolingo on your browser. Alternatively, you can open up the words tab on Duolingo from this link and skip straight to step #4! Its a good idea to bookmark this tab if you download your words frequently.

When you open up Duolingo, the page will look like this. Click on the 'Practice' button on the left menu.

Finding your Words list

When I was fiddling around trying to find my words list, I assumed it would be in the Account section, but that isn't the case. After clicking on the 'Practice' button, your page will look like this. Click on the 'Words' button as shown.
