I did about 100 days on Duolingo and from knowing no Spanish at all was able to converse in very broken Spanish to people at bars in Spain. I mean long 2 hour conversations where I could for the most part understand what they were saying and get my point across. Obviously they had to modify their Spanish like they were talking to a five year old.
