overall, I enjoy it. i wish there was more one on one conversation to test skills. like chat bots. I would like to see different courses dependent on native language. Going from english to chinese is a whole new language system including pinyin, hanzi, and overall just a new way of reading. I find myself having to pace a lot, and I feel like I can not progress because I do not know the concepts enough to move on even after it says I have "mastered" it. Does not help my whole course changed.

It was good for starting out, but it grew less useful with updates. At least for Japanese, all the nouns are always paired with the same adjective(s) ie. Black pants, red car, ble house, 2 birds, 3 cats. It made for a lack of variety, which hindered learning. Also, since the last update, Duo stopped defining new words for me when they were introduced. Duo is putting more effort into animation than into actual learning. The stories are a smart idea, but lack difficulty.

Depending on which language you're practicing, sometimes the annunciation of some words are difficult to discern. I'm learning Korean and French. In Korean, the AI voice makes it difficult to know the difference between vowles and consonants and you get it "wrong" because it's not clear. In French, when you speak into the mic, you can say the phrase and it won't pick up on certain annunciations and you get it "wrong". Super frustrating and is the main reason I will not pay for a subscription.
