Is Duolingo Really a Good Way to Study Japanese? | A Japanese Man Reacts to Duolingo

As a Japanese person, what will my impression be after taking Japanese lessons? *The content is based on personal studies and experience There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects ▼Interested in learning Japanese/Iaido ONLINE from me?
