[quote=Anonymous]The actual research (not anecdata) shows that it's ok for reading, slightly worse for listening, and pretty useless for actual speaking. OP - have you actually had a conversation with anyone? I'd be surprised if you could actually navigate a real conversation. Sure, you can easily say "I want five apples" and things like that, but most conversations don't consist of that. It's better than nothing, but it tricks people into thinking they know a lot more than they do, due to the passive nature of the exercises, odds of actually needing to say one of the sentences they drill into you, and the positive feedback and encouragement you get from Duo.
