Is Duolingo enough to learn English?
I’ve been using Duolingo for a few months. It’s fun, but I’m not sure if it’s enough to become fluent. What do you think?

Honestly? It’s fun for keeping the habit, but definitely not enough for fluency. I’ve used it for months, and I can tell you: it’s great for words, but bad for actual talking.
Duolingo is like a warm-up. If you want to be fluent, you gotta watch movies, listen to podcasts, and actually try to speak (even if you make mistakes!). Use it as a game on the side, but don't rely on the owl too much. He's good at guilt-tripping, not so much at teaching deep conversation! lol
No way. 😂
I mean, it's cool for learning basic words while you're on the bus, but you won't become "fluent" just by tapping buttons. I can translate "The cat drinks milk" perfectly, but when a native speaker talks to me, I'm just like... "Sorry, what?"
It's better to use it as a "daily vitamin" while you do the real work—like watching YouTube or hanging out in English-speaking groups. Don't trust that owl too much, he's a liar!
