Duolingo is fine to get a hold of the basics but if you truly want to learn a language you have to consume as much content in the given language as possible. Read books, watch movies etc. in the given language. After a while the whole thing will click in your head and you will have no problem communicating in the given language. Think about how you learned your native language. Did you learn it by memorizing a bunch of words and grammar rules or solving grammar excercizes? No, you learned it by being surrounded by it 24/7 and after a while you picked up how to communicate in it.
I kinda agree with you, but I would like to point out that acquiring a native language as a child is not the same thing as trying to learn a language later on in life. A child's ability to learn is much greater. Read: Child language acquisition.
Fair point.
Also, I would like to add that communicating in a language is a key step in learning it. You can consume as much content as you can, but unless you actually practice, there won't be much progress. This is where I always fail. I don't like talking to people.
What about communicating online? Even just via text? I feel like my English has improved tremendously after just chatting with people online on various forums and message boards.
