I meant not trying to learn a language. Plenty of people use Duolingo as a game or puzzle to pass the time without ever going beyond it. I don't see what's wrong with calling a spade a spade.

You are probably right to be honest. I think Duolingo is hyperhyped because of the main market it operates, americans tring to learn a second language, which has a very low bar.

I speak already most of the main languages Duolingo teaches and the other courses are pretty weak
