Same here. This valuation makes no sense to me. I’ve spent a LOT of time optimizing ways in which I learn languages, and duolingo doesn’t do much.

Here’s what I can recommend:

- follow as many instagram account as possible to teach you the language. There’s so many “teaching chinese” instagram account for example. Every day when I check instagram I learn a few chinese words.

- check browser plugins to display subs in different languages simultaneously on netflix

- use memrise or anki or other app or real world flash cards. There’s a reason people always go back to the flashcards.

It’s all about input. You need to learn a lot of vocab, fast. Don’t even focus on grammar at first, and even less on output. Output will come naturally after a while.
