I think it is safe to say that when it is required to connect the noun and the adjective, it doesn't mean "very".
But it does mean "very" when it is not required. So, the difficulty is knowing when it is required and when not.
As a first generation Chinese American, I need to point out that Duolingo teaches the usage of 很 in a misleading way. It makes room for confusion and incorrect interpretations like Denis's; however, 很 does indeed mean "very". It's a lesson taught at a very early age by parents and Chinese School teachers.
