> I'd really like Duolingo to focus more on audio lessons

I feel the same (approx 205 days of French). While the multi-modal aspect(text&audio) was helpful especially at the beginning of the course, I feel like text now is a crutch at times. I wish some of the tasks were audio only and required either answering from among text responses, or single word speech responses.

Because of this crutch, I feel well equipped to approach written French in my day-to-day life, but freeze up at even simple questions like "Parles-tu français ?" I feel like I would freeze less if I could practice these types of exchanges in app, but part of me also knows that the best solution to this problem is simply getting over it with a language partner or teacher.
