Nifty. I've been able to use Duolingo to bootstrap my way into being able to sort of read French. It's also decent at drills in German, a language I took in college. I really like Duolingo for drills and for getting a sort of 101-level language map. A lot of the early sentences are absurdly inane, to be honest, but they are useful in the drill sense. That said, I took a run at Chinese, a language which I see as something potentially really useful, and it was a complete non-starter.
