Duolingo is fun, but does it make you fluent?

Yeah, enjoying the process definitely helps. I just found that when it came to actually speaking, I still struggled despite using apps for a while. Have you tried practicing with real conversations too, or just apps?

Take a look at r/languagelearning and the subreddit for whatever language you're learning.

Also, people have already made this concept. They apparently mostly turn into dating apps in practice.

Thanks for the suggestion! We’ve definitely taken that into consideration. We’re working hard on a reporting system and AI moderation to ensure that only serious language learners are using the platform. Our goal is to create an environment where people can focus on language learning, not on anything else.

Sounds like a fun way to immigrate to another country.
