I speak 4 languages, and when I need surface level basics for a trip, I've found the Duolingo helps get the wrote memory part of see a shape, hear a sound.

For actual terminology or grammar, it's OK, but it doesn't deserve the hype it gives itself. I can make up my own lessons with Google Translate better than Duolingo.

Agreed. I just use it as a supplement to my actual learning.
