What this means is that I'm coming to Duolingo with some previously established experience and language-learning strategies. Lingvist focuses on teaching the most common words in French using real sentences, and though it teaches very little grammar it probably gave me a bit of a leg up on learning vocabulary before starting Duolingo.

Lingvist probably deserves its own review suffice it to say here, I found it a bit too monotonous, though I did complete the entire free version of the app.Additionally, prior to Duolingo, I also used the free version of the app Lingvist to learn French vocabulary. This means, in a practical sense, that I don't have to learn these concepts from scratch people with no experience learning or speaking a Romance language would be at a relative disadvantage here. This means that when I see things in French like clitic pronouns, or the subjunctive mood, or the distinction between preterite and imperfect, I'm not seeing them for the first time and I recognize what is happening.
They share a great deal of vocabulary with French as well as grammatical constructions that are not found in English that I'm already familiar with. This starts me off with some advantage: Spanish and Portuguese are very closely related to French. I also took some Brazilian Portuguese in college and can speak it to some degree, too (though my comprehension of the spoken language is not great). I learned Spanish in high school and college and can speak it fairly competently.
I've just reached a 150-day streak on the app, and as such I thought I'd write up some thoughts about using it and some of the issues I have with it. Since I don't have a lot of money lying around to pay a tutor or else pay for overpriced lessons, I've been using Duolingo as my main way of learning French. My partner is French, and since we've started living together I've decided I should probably learn French. I've been doing Duolingo French for 150 days! I have some thoughts about it.
