Is it still worth learning languages with Duolingo?

Is it still worth learning languages with Duolingo?

Learning a language is hard work: you have to learn vocabulary, study grammar, repeat endlessly. And then, once you know a bit of the language, you have to start reading, listening, speaking with others. In short, it’s no joke. In the past it was even worse. We studied from massive tomes full of rules, made especially to make you hate the language. My high‑school English book dedicated fifteen pages just to the use of the definite article “the”. I never read a single line of that book.
