After a break I thought I give Duolingo a go again. It is absolutely awful. The webpage crashes, speaking exercises don't work and write ups after those little stories are not corrected. Nothing gets explained anymore. The version on the British market doesn't pay any attention to British English so it's quite confusing for speakers of other languages. I am glad I didn't go for a paid version. It's a real shame because when I started 5 years ago it was a really useful tool.
