Conclusion
I am happy I tried this because it motivated me to work on my Spanish. Of course, I still am no fluent Spanish speaker, but I reviewed many points of the language I had totally forgotten and I improved much.
The points where I improved most were vocabulary and conjugations. It was definitely useful to relearn the conjugations as I had forgotten a big part of them. As for the vocabulary, I came accross many new words and many already known but forgotten words as I worked on Duolingo and go Fluent exercises. I think vocabulary is the field for which online learning websites like Duolingo or goFluent are most useful.
I improved less on listening comprehension and general grammar rules. This is mainly due to the methodology I used. To deal with limited time resources, I mainly worked in small learning sessions. This is not always optimal for fields like grammar for which you have to invest more time. This was also a problem for listening comprehension. Listening to a video in Spanish takes me much time and concentration because I have to listen very carefully and several times.

Thank you! It was fun but I am happy it is over and I do not have to keep track any more of all the exercises I do.
