No app is going to make you fluent. Duolingo is great to introduce you to the basics (grammar structures, basic vocabulary, common phrases), but you won't learn anything substantial until you invest on it. The only way to actually speak the language is by practicing speaking. For reading, start with children's stories or other simple media - playing a translated version of a game you're familiar with, for example.

I also agree with this heavily. you need to pick up and learn from a variety of resources and make sure you work on all of your four major skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) equally. if you like DuoLingo, it's fine to keep using it as one of your language learning tools, but you need to show initiative and make effort into learning outside of just spamming DuoLingo lessons if you want to see real results.

If I can give any praise to DuoLingo it's that a lot of questions have a 'topic thread' attached to them which you can view after you answer the question. these user driven discussions usually give a LOT more detail and context which DuoLingo itself does not provide you.his can help a ton with learning. although essentially I'm just praising the people who comment in these threads more than I'm praising DuoLingo itself. knowing the rules for why something is a certain way, and the subtle differences between very similar vocabulary is super important and it's often glossed over by DuoLingo itself. t
