Duolingo
I've been playing around with Duolingo this week to refresh my O-level German.
I'm quite enjoying it, and it is a good way of learning, but I take serious exception to its claim that I'm now 11% fluent in German.
I've only covered 54 words with it and the coverage of plurals and cases only relates to a small subset of those words.
Have other people used it much?
Does it actually take you to a level where you get genuine language skills, or is it really just a game that teaches you a good set of stock phrases (which are admittedly useful).
