Duolingo level vs CEFR level

Until recently, if you clicked on your course level and then "More About Score" it gave an explanation not only of where you were but also how the score corresponded to CEFR levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). That has changed - there’s no longer any mention of CEFR levels, and IMO it was a really bad change.

How long to complete the course?

If one does 10 real lessons a week, how long does it take to finish the whole course. I know no one probably completes the course without a break, but I’d like to be able to set a goal. Thanks people.

French Help

I’m currently at level 77 in Duolingo French.

Duolingo mentions that achieving level 50 means I should be able to give directions in real life.

Low and behold I was asked for directions to the library in French by somebody, but I wasn’t able to provide these.

Does anyone have any tips or suggestion? I tried to think really hard about it but I just keep blaming Duolingo and thinking that the problem is because the app is asking me to make the sentence correct in English rather than directly translating it so I can’t familiarize myself with French sentence structure.

It’s like when I hear a French person speak in English. They say « it’s good » or c’est bon. English speakers would never use it’s good the way French speakers would. I think (and just guessing here) a francophone would use c’est bon to confirm if someone understands what they were trying to say. I as an anglophone would probably say does that make sense?

Wait…did I do it right or not?

It marked me wrong but the explanation is telling me that I should have done it the way I did?
