I find with duolingo I just go through the motions and don't really pay attention.....
I've got the old audio Pimsleur downloaded and I do Anki flashcards everyday.
@dev_Paul i really like pimsleur so far! Duo is teaching more grammar but Pimsleur is teaching me useful vocab and a little more on the pronunciation side. Anki is great too!
@dev_Paul if you have a duolingo account message me it so I can follow you!
