Just to add on to what other folks are saying in reply to your question, I studied french in school for 7 years (middle school, high school, and lit in college). At the end of all of that my reading comprehension is really good, my listening comprehension is so-so (highly dependent on region), and my ability to produce sentences in french, in my opinion, sucks. So I'm amazed by these other folks self-assessment. It is high praise for Duolingo, in my opinion.
