Duolingo is a good tool for stuff that flashcards are good for - learning letters/alphabets/symbols, learning new words, basic sentence structure/grammar, etc. It’s one good tool for language learning, but it won’t do the whole job by itself. Certainly not garbage, as long as you use the tool correctly.
Yeah that’s pretty much where I’m at. I joined my buddy in his wife’s Japanese club, but I know absolutely nothing. Trying Duolingo primarily to learn the alphabets. It’s not perfect, but I can recognize them all and read Hiragana, so it’s not completely worthless!
Didn’t help me learn how to wite at ALL though. Too little practice, it’s definitely a tool (for some languages as least) that’s meant to be used with other learning methods
