1848 ET - Duolingo is working on retaining its resurrected users, those who return to the app. That is the one piece the language-learning app still needs to work on, CEO Luis von Ahn says on a call with analysts. At the same time, the company is seeing slightly more resurrected users than new users at the top of the marketing funnel, von Ahn says. Another area Duolingo is looking at is pricing after making available its paying plan Duolingo Max in almost every country except for countries like China--because of the use of OpenAI. "In some of the poorest countries, our price is too high," but the company is focused on never losing money on Max, von Ahn says. Overtime, Duolingo expects to be in a position to lower prices in countries like India. Shares fall 7.1%, to $348.99, in post-market trading. (sabela.ojea@wsj.com; @sabelaojeaguix)
