Duolingo just doesn't have enough content for this, at least when I used it (2017). I did the whole tree, and could remember the correct answers to sentences I couldn't understand.
German only clicked for me when I got a tutor who sat me down and started explaining the grammar.
- emsy 5y agoI think the issue is that Duolingo just isn’t good for learning a language at all, just for learning vocabulary. For example, we learned the English conditionals in school. Never once in my life have I actively thought about how and which conditional to use (except for the exam of course, but that just shows how dumb testing languages is).
