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

We are often consulted by people who are interested in studying Japanese but do not know how to begin their studies. I am still unfamiliar with it, so I decided to try Duolingo, the most famous language learning application, first. As a Japanese person, what will my impression be after taking Japanese lessons?

I have a new dream… It is to raise money to enroll in a school to become a Japanese language instructor (an official qualification)! I promise you that I will become the best Japanese teacher who not only teaches Japanese, but is also familiar with Japanese history and traditional culture.

Things I want to do after I get the qualification:
-Free Weekly/Monthly Japanese lessons on YouTube LIVE
-Online private Japanese lessons
etc.
