Here's a crazy thought: People are different, and different people will have different best ways of learning a foreign language, depending on what they know beforehand, and how they like to learn.
Some people are having great success with duolingo, good for them. I'm not one of them, I think its structure sucks for me, I need way more grammar and structure rules, not an endless string of random sentences.
And the thing is, duolingo could add what I wanted to their lessons. They could absolutely add lists of pronouns or prepositions, or several sentences with small variations to their repertoire.
