The use of tracking meters, popularized by apps such as Duolingo and Snapchat to reward their most dedicated users, has become widespread. However, addiction specialists and psychologists have raised concerns.
As I always say about duolingo, if you have not completed the course in 3 months you won’t learn a language with it. Duolingo is a good introduction when you don’t know anything about a language, but you need a lot of advanced materials they they don’t really have to become fluent.
Though if your goal is just to play a game and feel like you are learning something - well at least you get some vocabulary. It won’t teach you a language but that need not be your goal.
As a single tool, no, not a chance in hell of becoming fluent. It’s definitely a good aide and introduction to branch out into more media and sources of another language though.
