Nice! I slowly learned (some) German ~10 years ago but don't live there anymore, so hardly use it. But since I don't want to lose it, I forced myself to use everyday things (phone, laptop, websites, etc) in German as practically as possible, maybe you'll want to give it a try!

I’m about 2 years into a similar journey with Japanese. My wife is Japanese and we are teaching our son the language, so it’s been very valuable for me to know it too, ちょっと (a little bit). At this point, the time I spend on Duolingo each day is quite exhausting. To really absorb the lessons, I have to focus intensely, and it winds up taking away from my productive time rather than replacing down time. It’s been worth it, but it wasn’t something I was expecting when I started.
