My biggest issue with apps like Duolingo is that they pretend learning a language is like a game. Effortless and easy. In reality you need to have quite some motivation to learn every day for a few hours. You need to learn words and grammar by writing them down. Lots of times. You need to talk with people at least a few times per week. You need to repeat a lot. It's very hard work. And even then it takes most regular people about 2 to 4 years to get yourself to a level like my English (not fluent, but enough)
