Why Duolingo doesn't work

Have your first Russian conversation in 30 days: https://learntherussianlanguage.com/c... ---------------- A student recently told me he'd been studying Russian on Duolingo for over 600 days - for about 45 minutes a day. And he still struggled speaking. I consider that a huge waste of time. So should you learn Russian with Duolingo? Or should you do something else if your goal is to speak Russian? I'll tell you in the video what I'd do if I were starting with Russian :)
