It can be a good supplement, but my experience thus far has had little, if any, grammar.

MY SIDES

No. Specially for languages like French. But if you know the basics of the language this will help you a lot without a doubt.

It's useful, but you'll need several different resources to learn a language well. Duolingo is good for practice, but it doesn't really teach grammar. Try to complete the German course without any outside knowledge and you'll see what I mean.

It's fine for getting started, like getting used to pronunciation and basic vocabulary, but it won't make you pass a A2 exam. Find a serious course about the language you want to learn and use duolingo to complement it. Also, I recommend anki for learning vocabulaty.

French is not even a real challenge for a Portuguese speaker, but I have done ONLY Duolingo for the language and my French is already pretty good. I can speak it and be understood quite easily, I can write and read, and my only problem is understanding the spoken language because Duolingo is too much of a controlled environment.

Of course I've hit a roof and now I should look for actual learning tools, but it takes you from a totally lost person to someone who can actually do something with the language.
