I signed up at DuoLingo for an introductory class in Russian. I did it for two weeks, enjoying the moment, taking the free lessons with the Candy Crush graphics, before losing interest. I still get the reminders, I haven't shut that down yet, but no intention of going back.
I also signed up for a free class in intermediate French at Coursera. I was fine until they required a written assignment that would be peer-evaluated. In return, I would need to evaluate the written assignments of three other students. I would hope that if I were taking one of their paid classes, there'd be an instructor to do the grading. What do you expect for free?
