I'm on day 400 something of Duolingo for Espanol but I still feel like I don't know any more than a freshman in high school.

That could be because duolingo uses unreliable AI for their translations. It will fail to teach you all the rules of the language so you may come to speak it improperly. When learning a new language, it's vital that your tutoring / study material was made by a human. It may be better for you to read about the language in a book to start trying to learn it. There are also many travel-guides that give you direct translations for common things to say. From there you can talk to people in forums or in real life. If possible for you, you could also take a class.

The way our brain's process language is very complex and is actually different from person to person. There is a definable trait in each of our brains that will make it either easier or more difficult to learn languages. It is because you will need to find and study at your own unique pace that relying on courses that use AI may also tend not to work, on top of being inaccurate.
