XP in Duolingo stands for Experience Points and they are rewarded whenever a user completes a lesson, reviews a lesson, earns a Legendary level, or completes challenges like Match Madness. Your XP in Duolingo determines your language level (which you can find here!) and also can help you advance in the Duolingo Leagues.
How to Get XP in Duolingo
In order to get XP in Duolingo, you have to complete a lesson within a language course. Each lesson usually will earn you 10 XP.
I seriously would not be able to learn languages without italki (I’m taking 3 classes per week right now) try out a class and you’ll thank me later. They’re usually $9 or less!
Another way to get XP is to review a lesson you have already finished for 5 XP or choose to turn it “Legendary” and earn 40 XP.
If you want to get XP faster, here are the 10 fastest ways to get XP! Also, make sure that you are using Duolingo as efficiently as possible so that you aren’t wasting time on the app.
How to Find Out How Many XP You Have
Go to your profile on the Duolingo app (which is the head icon in the middle) and you will be able to see the total amount of XP that you have earned. This number is the amount of XP you have between ALL of the courses that you have done on Duolingo.
So in my case, this adds up English to Spanish, Italian, and French as well as my courses from Spanish to Italian and French, etc.

This is what that looked like before Duolingo switched to the new Path system.
Now the placement and style are a little different, but you can still find out how many overall XP you have earned pretty quickly:
If you want to see how much XP you have in just ONE course, you will need to use the Duome website. To do that, you will need to type duome.eu/YOURUSERNAME in Duolingo.
For example, mine is https://duome.eu/dayna255732. From there, you can see all the stats of the course that you are currently on in Duolingo.
To see another language, just change your language course in the app and then refresh the Duome webpage and it will show the stats for that language instead.
