> The biggest problem to me with Duolingo that it doesn't explain certain language rules (I am learning German) and you have to brute-force until you "get a feeling" and memorize patterns.
I think gaining a feel for a language and memorizing patterns is more useful at the beginning of your journey. I am learning Spanish and I find it works better for me when I 'feel' something is right and then finally understand the reason why it is so.
