>he thinks he'll learn a new language by using an app for a couple of hours

You'll learn only the basics of the basics with duolingo. You have to suffer in order to learn a new language, my friend.

not that american but it's so you can study/work a lot more efficiently.
Go to the Jow Forums stickied at the top of the page and read the guide for the language you want to learn.
It'll tell you which books or apps are reccomended for said language.
As for which language you're much closer to China than either France, Quebec, or Germany...

College courses are usually the easiest and most effective way. Better might be self learning while living in the place that speaks the language, but that is not feasible for a lot of people. Self learning Duolingo while learning conjugations and some side things off the app should get you to about one or two college courses, and usually A2-B1 level depending on the course and how much you keep up with it. Just dont buy some shit like Rosetta stone

Duolingo, like any other language learning resource (e.g. memrise, drill books, courses) are always adjuncts to the gold standard, holy trinity of listening, reading and responding (via speaking and writing).
