Good, but could be better – Duolingo - Language Lessons Review

I signed up with Duolingo after finding out that Memrise is no longer a free site, and researching other apps. It functions well, no glitches yet (which did happen with Memrise) and that is important. The format is ok, but I am only in my first week and I definitely question some of the layout of the lessons. Maybe if I stick with ot and get advanced I will change my mind, but so far I'm not sure it makes sense. I am studying Japanese. Maybe the format works better in other languages, but in Japanese there are whole new alphabets to learn.
