Thats doesn't mean your A) speaking skills, B) listening skills or C) writing skills are on the same level than what you've learned before
Okay.

Exact. I prefer type the entire sentence instead of "Filling the blanks" in Duolingo.
So far, the Duolingo is the most attractive language app I've ever used. I guess that is why I still use this app even they change the tree to the path/snake.

Yes, indeed. But I still feel a little bit unsure how to get started. See, if I want to improve my english to advanced level, I could just tring to prepare the IELTS or some exams like this to training my listening, talking, reading and writing skills. But for a beginner of some language, it seems hard to make the first step. Some tutorials are too deep or shallow. Textbooks may be a little bit out of style (for example, some textbooks said that there are 4 nasal sounds in French, but some youtubers would tell you that in Paris, they usually use 3 insteaf of 4).
I think I will check some youtube channels such as FrenchPod101 or something (for textbooks, I have no idea so far) for deeper learning as well as using Duolingo.
