Duolingo, a free language learning app, has offered to help 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson learn Spanish in time for the second night of Democratic debates after the hopeful made a quip on Twitter about candidates speaking Spanish on the debate stage.
Williamson took to Twitter on Wednesday and stressed about learning Spanish before her debate appearance Thursday after seeing several White House contenders speaking the language during night one.
The app’s official Twitter feed waved at the best-selling author in response.
Entrepreneur Andrew Yang, another 2020 Democrat who will be onstage with Williamson on Thursday, also showed concern about his skills.{mosads}
“My Spanish is terrible,” he admitted on Twitter.
Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) was the first candidate to break out his Spanish during the first debate, which garnered a look from Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) that went viral.
Booker acknowledged after the debate that “there’s a lot of bilingual people, some even trilingual, in this race.”
