I like to say Duolingo is a slow way to learn a language, but it's infinitely faster than not learning it at all. The main benefit of Duolingo is the streak. Gotta keep the streak going, so I use it every single day. Is it working? I can read French news articles for the most part, filling in the blanks from context. I have trouble listening at normal talking speeds to French youtube videos. For speaking, I'm sure I could order a croissant and get a hotel room, but beyond that... Still, it's much better than looking for perfection and learning nothing.
