I’ve been using Duolingo to study Mandarin for a few years now. It’s fun but the lessons are frequently frustrating. They love to teach me a bunch of new characters, then stop using them altogether for a few months, then bring them back and expect me to know them with zero review.

The lessons should be structured to include more review if you’re only doing 1/day (which I think is the normal way people use it).
