How useful is Duolingo beyond the basics? (hexbear.net)

Hello! I've recently picked up learning Spanish because I work with a ton of dudes from Mexico. How much can I reasonably expect to learn from this app? I looked at their "curriculum" and it seems pretty short compared to what I think I'll need. What are some resources beyond "talk to your coworkers", that will put me on the right track?

Yeah I genuinely appreciated it as a beginner's vocab and grammar learner in like 2012. It was great and I blew through so many courses learning so many words/basics of the linguistics of langauges. They even had discussion boards about basically every word where explanations of grammar and usage we there, as well as questions from others. Communism would revive old Duolingo and expand it. Capitalism strangled my beloved owl and replaced it with an apparition formed from the dollars it's body decayed into.
