They do offer real classes done through independent teachers, they are typically group lessons, but they are at a pretty reasonable price! http://classes.duolingo.com

I was super interested, but the link highlights they are unfortunately shutting this down Classes next month.
Oh man, I hadn't seen that! Super disappointed :(

For what it's worth, I use Duolingo (the app itself) as just another way to practice at the moment but feel that most of my real progress comes with a tutor that I found through Preply and eventually started private lessons with. Group lessons were a cheap way to get some more practice in though with other speakers.

According to that page, Duolingo classes is "going away" on January 18.
