Teri, sometimes when I'm tired I mix up French and Spanish words. But it's not too bad because I didn't start French until I'd finished the Spanish tree (they've added new stuff so I need to finish it again). Everything except for Welsh I studied in school, which definitely helps.
Some of my points are slightly misleading because the German was just me testing out of each section in my first few weeks. But then I didn't continue with it, and the Russian too - so weird to think that in school I could write/talk quite a bit, I barely remember any Russian now. Maybe I'll get back to it one day. Definitely focused on the Spanish. Even though mostly just to read. (And I definitely made the most progress when I read real stuff in real life, and the second most progress when I did a lot a lot on Duolingo - just doing a lot isn't hugely helpful, though could be if you're engaging with people in real life too!)
I started the Spanish to English tree after finishing the Spanish tree, and that does have new stuff to teach.
The Welsh is so cool though. It's a bit different. But also so cool when you see the connections and can guess meanings. It doesn't have integrated tips but the developers have explained quite a lot in the course notes. (This is true of Duolingo in general - if you go to the website there's quite a lot more grammar explanation etc than there is in the app.)
