Pretty cool to see them innovating on the spaced repetition front. I'm around halfway through my second course (finished esperanto, now french), and I'm very grateful for such a high quality, free course. That said I recently started supplementing with the Pimsleur audio courses because the main weakness of duolingo is a severe lack of listening / speaking comprehension.
I just wish that they would update their Windows app. :(
