I've been trying to learn Greek, but it's a pain! First, they went overboard with gamification - now, I spend most of my time keeping my place in the Diamond League, not learning new stuff. Sadly, you earn more XP not learning new stuff, so, gamification goes against the learning goals. Another issue is that the scoring is in the app and different versions of the app reward you differently for the same thing - that's why my wife is on a year-old version and earns twice as much XP with less effort, which is unfair. Also, certain languages like Greek are not the same as Spanish and you cannot practice speaking and you learn to recognize the worlds visually well, but not so much to learn a language conversationally.
