Oh gosh I've tried Duolingo so many times over the years and never gotten far. I'm impressed with people who keep it up.
For me, the key was finding a regular time during the day when I do the lessons. That's why I recommended you do it during the ad breaks.
Exercises like Duolingo are only half the battle. You need to have some immersion in the language you’re learning. Watch tv and listen to podcasts in the target language, you won’t understand (at first) but your brain will start recognising the sounds and structures.

An ex-coworker of mine recommended Mango Languages, which is supposed to be much better and also if you have a library card, you can usually get a subscription for free through them! The lessons are probably a little longer than 30 seconds, but not too much longer. I'd say a minute tops.
