I understand the scepticism on duolingo, I too got tired of the girl eating an apple in Spanish after three weeks. But have been doing Japanese for over a year now and I find it quite entertaining/refreshing learning this (in my surroundings) obscure language/writing. Not useful: can complain about dirty toilets. Useful: can explain I still live in a cramped appartment with lots of bikes.
Shame is though, a Japanese person will never tell me I'm pronouncing it wrong.
