I really think the vast majority of Duo Lingo users, even the ones who use it every day, never progress past an introductory "101" level in the language. I know people who use it every day for years and know some vocab but can't hold even a basic conversation.
If you actually want to learn the language you have to... Believe it or not... Interact with people who are fluent in the language.
Difficult to do if your nation doesn’t have that language though. I’m learning French and there aren’t a lot of French here in the Midwest US for obvious reasons.
I could search them out online but I’m still so new to it I feel like I would just frustrate them
Thanks. I'm kicking myself a bit because I had 2 years additionally, but I lost it when I went on vacation in a country with really poor internet. C'est la vie :)

I'd agree, Duolingo is a tool not a silver bullet. That said it's a very useful tool if used well.
