I tend to agree.

I've been using Duolingo for almost 2 years now. It has learned me to understand the language a bit.

But don't ask me to build a proper sentence myself. I'm utterly lost in that case, because it doesn't teach you having a real conversation. That includes even the most simple real life things like ordering at a restaurant and then complain that your food is cold.
