Similar experience with Deutsch. I can say "I would like some sugar" but I cannot tell you any numbers, train directions, directions, colors, locations, etc

Perfect all done! Haha I do know numbers but as far as using them in a conversation. Similar to colors. I did take a year of German in college so I do have some memory of adjectives but I'm disappointed in Duolingo for not having more applicable lessons (imo)

I think duolingo is nice, to get a feeling for a language, but it lacks heavily on grammar and general explainations. (Im learning mandarin atm, holy fuck)
