I speak English (native), French and German. I’m currently learning Dutch with Duolingo. I’ve only used the iPhone app for about 2 months at the free tier. I’ve already learned similar languages the traditional way and I go to the netherlands at least 1-2x year for work. Personally, I feel I get enough value from Duolingo to make it worth my time. But I admit I’m a particular use case. IMHO it is not was way to learn language if it is one’s only tool. But then again neither is only classroom instruction or only books or only tv. I think that is where people get hung up on critiquing it. I see it as ONE valuable tool in my toolbox.
