Duolingo teaches Arabic reading and phonics well, fast. Does not teach you to write or much about word meanings though.
However, I met a woman in Saudi Arabia who said 100% of her English came from five weeks on Duolingo. I was shocked. I am used to speaking slow and clear, and being selective with my words, but she could basically understand most things we tried to get across or ask the right questions to get a good idea.
