Though I finished the old format, the path brought new challenges of which him happy to have encountered. The end was really repetitive and I still believe Duolingo can improve. Even allowing you to pause the time while it gives you more information about a word of phrase would be nice. But overall, I'm proud of myself.
Honestly it depends entirely on you and your preferences. This was easy for me because I'm competitive AF, so that was my motivation. But the flip side of that is that I'm learning just a few things. Like I've finished the course and roughly know when to use a bunch of words, but don't know what they actually mean.
English is my first and only language too BTW. Give it a try.
