I have several Danish friends that I speak to. I get that Duolingo is "basics", but it captures a lot of your time that are better spent learning with other means. Off of this, the company has a $1B valuation. They don't charge for their service and it's not really worth paying a lot for. The users who use it the most probably won't pay. I don't know how they're ever going to justify that valuation.

Maybe you are the exact user story of their business model : at the end of the Duolingo experience, the website would become the Uber of language teachers. Online realtime, or face-to-face course in your town with a selection of human teachers. A Platform to match teachers and students. The platform could simply list professionals (with a fee), or take a fee per minute of course video, or a fee per booking, etc
