As someone who followed the same method (DuoLingo for vocab, start reading, start talking) and now speaks a second language fluently, I'm not OP but I'll go ahead and vouch for their comment.

Great! Did you complete the tree, or just do some then switch to reading and talking?

Completed the tree, but admittedly it was shorter back then.

I also did it in parallel with the Language Transfer podcast, which I've mentioned on HN before but is an amazing resource for understanding how a new language works structurally and grammatically.

I did find Duolingo valuable, but purely for vocab.
