Usually with Duolingo courses I become frustrated with the scarce grammar notes and I find it really difficult to learn with Duolingo as a complete beginner, but with German so far all the grammar is just clicking. I don't know if it's because this Duolingo course is better than others I've messed around with, or if German just seems more logical to me.
Anyways, it's only been three weeks so I may be speaking too soon here, but Duolingo is fun and useful this far!
If you are interested a couple of us are in a Duolingo group. There is room to join in if you want (EYFAD7).
I have been enjoying it so far as well. I finished the Spanish course many moons ago and I just wasn't enjoying it as much as I am enjoying the German one. It is also a nice little tool to help me squeeze in some German when I am on the go - which seems to be my default state nowadays. Last week was really helpful as well because WalkingAlone and I were in a nice little arms race to get the top slot for the week, and that helped push me to get a few extra lessons/refreshers in.
