Who created Duolingo?
I would like to talk about the fascinating story behind Duolingo.
Luis Von Ahn is the chief executive officer of Duolingo.
He is not a language enthusiast, but a computer scientist.
He was born in Guatemala, a poor country where Spanish is spoken.
Born and raised there, he witnessed the stark differences in educational opportunities between the wealthy and the poor.
His dream and passion for making education available to all people.
He is well aware of the issue of educational inequality.
If he weren't born into a wealthy family, he would never have had the chance to take the exam at all.
In 1995, when he was about to take the English exam, all the seats in Guatemala had been registered, and he could only fly to the neighboring country of El Salvador.
This experience made him realize that many people around the world cannot afford the high cost of education.
That's why he developed an application for learning multiple languages.
He designed the first Spanish course for Duolingo.
Duolingo makes good education free for everyone.
From Guatemala to Silicon Valley, Luis's team succeeded.
The story behinds Duolingo reminds us that big dreams can come true.
Every day, as people learn on Duolingo, they keep the founder's vision alive.
With just a smartphone, anyone can start learning a new language.
Learning a language is as enjoyable as playing a game.
It is said that Bill Gates is also a user of Duolingo.
From Africa to the Middle East, Duolingo users can be found everywhere.
In East Asian countries, the number of Duolingo users is increasing year by year.
我想谈一谈多邻国背后的迷人故事。
路易斯·冯·安是多邻国的首席执行官。
他不是语言爱好者，而是计算机科学家。
他出生在瓜地马拉，是西语的贫穷国家。
他在那里出生和长大，目睹了富人和穷人在教育机会上的巨大差异。
他的梦想和激情是让所有人都能接受教育。
他非常清楚教育不平等的问题。
如果不是出生在有钱的家庭，他根本不可能有机会参加考试。
1995年，当他要参加英语考试时，瓜地马拉的所有席位都被注册完，他只能飞到隔壁国家萨尔瓦多。
这段经历让他意识到世界上许多人负担不起高昂的教育费用。
正因如此，他开发了一款多种语言应用程式。
他设计了多邻国第一门西班牙语课程。
多邻国让每个人都能免费享受良好的教育。
从瓜地马拉到硅谷，路易斯的团队成功了。
“多邻国”背后的故事提醒我们，伟大的梦想可以成真。
每天，当人们在多邻国上学习时，他们让创始人的愿景鲜活起来。
只要有一部智能手机，任何人都可以开始学习一门新语言。
学语言就像玩游戏一样愉悦。据说比尔盖茨也是多邻国用户。
从非洲到中东，多邻国的的用户随处可见。
在东亚国家，多邻国用户逐年上升。

"Application" is not wrong, but it's more natural to say "app".

Poor is not incorrect per se, but it might come off as condescending or insensitive to some people. A more appropriate way to say this is 'developing' (conversely, we call countries like Canada and the US 'developed').

Your text is very natural and comprehensible, good work. There's just a few stylistic changes.
Personally, I am quite critical of Duolingo as a company. Their goal to make education more accessible, while noble, is becoming increasingly diluted by their desire to earn money. While they are of course a business needing to stay afloat, they make hundreds of millions of dollars in profit each year. Despite this, some of their courses are quite limited, and even their most popular ones offer limited grammar drills or immersion options. Also, free users can hardly go two lessons without watching lengthy ads to keep their energy bar full.
