My biggest issue with Duolingo trying to learn German honestly. Sure I can read a compound word when presented with it, but fucking Duo is like "Cool... now spell it... bitch"
German is phonetic though - once you know how pronunciation maps to the alphabet (and certain compounds), it becomes easier to spell any new word. It’s actually why there’s no Spelling Bee in German.

I gave up on duolingo very quickly because it had a ton of clearly wrong stuff too. Drops and Rosetta Stone have much better content for learning German.
I once talked to a guy that was learning portuguese all by himself using Langenscheidt's portuguese course.
They are pretty neat.
That's your issue? Not adjective declination?
I'm nearly at the end of Duolingo's German content and spelling has mostly been quite easy (as a native English speaker). You want a spelling challenge, try French.
So we have this verb and the ending in third person plural is -ent but we just dont pronounce that so it pronounces the same way as third person singular...
Fucking French. 'we're never, ever going to say this 'h' character, but you still need it to spell words correctly because fuck you, that's why.'
English isn't exactly innocent there. See knight, plumber, mnemonic, pterodactyl.
