I have bursts of progress trying to learn Esperanto, also with Duolingo. I guess the unfortunate aspect of Esperanto is that you don't meet a lot of other learners in real life so it's a bit of a solo endeavour.

I give a lot of credit to whoever put together the Duolingo course, there's a lot of amusing innuendo with Adamo kaj Sofia and apt sentences like "Li trinkas bieron, cxar li estas malfelicxa".
