I’m not disagreeing that multiple sources is necessary, but describing Duolingo as just a “memorising words” app is wrong.
It has reading, writing, listening, speaking, and conversation exercises.

It didn’t work for me though and I just wish I had found Assimil a long time ago. If people find it a useful tool and it has helped them gain fluency though that’s great!
