I feel like people overestimate Duolingo, and end up disappointed. I am convinced that doing some Duolingo while in the bus is a lot better than swiping stupid videos on TikTok. Will it effortlessly teach you a language? No. There is no such thing, and Duolingo does not pretend there is. But it will regularly expose you to sentences in the language you are trying to learn, which is most definitely better than nothing. Now if you are motivated enough to spend 1h per day learning, of course there are better ways. But I thought it was obvious that the "I want to sit back and enjoy" attitude won't teach you a language.
