> PS: duolingo isn’t a good way to learn a language even if you somehow manage to be super-diligent about using it. I guess it depends on someone's personality. I heard people complain about it, but I've had good experiences with it. It really helped me, because it automates parts of the learning process, including spaced repetition. Duolingo by itself won't be enough to get to fluency. But it's a cheap and convenient way to get a foundation. If Duo doesn't work for the OP then they probably need to look for something else.
