I never liked Duolingo anyway. It's a bit stupid, it just teaches you some basic phrases without explaining the grammar behind it. So you're not really learning anything.
And I really hate 'gamification' in general. I love computer games but not gamified learning or exercising etc. It just puts me off.
Duolingo does have grammar lessons, they cover the parts of speech, rules, exceptions and interesting notes.
You actually have to click the grammar notes for each lesson, and many people skip it. Still it's up the user, not sure why this myth persists.
I'm studying a couple of languages that don't have English as the native tongue. They provide no grammar notes.
The ones with native English do, but accessing it is not intuitive since you have to go to the Units view.
