Show off your skills in High Valyrian in Duolingo and win a Valyrian Steel Sword!
George R. R. Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, has really been a true upholder of the fantasy genre. The books are believed to be the best work of fantasy since Lord of the Rings. An important part of a good fantasy is making sure it sets itself apart from reality, and a key component of that involves languages. Since we are already on our way to return to the world of Westeros, it is a good time to brush up on our High Valyrian skills.
A visit to the world of Westeros is quite dangerous without a sword. However, there’s a way you can actually win a Valyrian steel sword right before you begin to watch the House of The Dragon. Start learning the High Valyrian language. To honor the new Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, Duolingo is launching an epic Valyrian Steel Challenge. From season premiere to season finale, High Valyrian learners will battle it out on the leaderboard to see who can earn the most XP. The prize? A Valyrian steel sword – The Streak Keeper.
Turn High Valyrian lessons into Valyrian steel. ⚔️
