@scottalanmiller I'm not saying it doesn't enforce it, I'm saying so far I'm not feeling that it actually teaches it.
DL doesn't really teach anything, it seems to expect you to learn only through failure.

I remember my 1 yr of Spanish and we spent alot of the time at the beginning going over sentence structure and duo lingo seems to be like learn some words... here's a sentence no that's wrong here's the correct structure, here's some more words, here's another sentence, no that's wrong. I'd like to actually explain the sentence structure and why I choose wrong, etc... still as I said I'm super early in so I'll keep on going...
I find MangoLanguages much better for learning the structure.

And that's where the posts are helpful. Or comments rather, on every question they ask you.

I post a LOT on there. I've been the one to update a large number of their questions.

In Spanish, at least.

Rocking it today...

And the day isn't over. I'd have been doing a lot more if we didn't have company over visiting. And my phone is dead.

I'm still a long way from maxing out Spanish. Even though I capped on levels long ago. They need to add a lot of levels, you level out long before you finish just getting crowns, let alone going through the lab stuff or stories!
-
It would take me well over 400 lessons to get that many points in a day. And they are each worth 15 points if you don't get anything wrong, and take 5 to 10 minutes each if you don't need any instruction.
It's literally impossible for me. No other ways to get points for my language. 40 hours straight time to get that many points.
That's not even fair lol.

How many crowns have you earned in Swedish?

41, but I have been heavily preoccupied on other things lately.

That should be a high priority for you, don't you think? LOL

There have been much higher priorities the past 2 months, believe me... ones that would render DL useless!

End of the day...

What does Spanish have in DL that allows you to get mass points like that?

That's not just Spanish, it's from a range of languages. They all move at the same pace. Spanish as the stories, but those are actually slower, not faster points. Because they take a long time and max around 30 points for the effort.
I got a lot of those points in Swedish, for example
