      These new crown levels are a LOT of work!

      Seems like you have enough time to get'em done... or you're in the stinkin server room way too often!

      Using Android advances you way faster than iOS, no idea why they do it. But using the computer is even faster still.

      My daily goal is cranked to the max, too.

        I keep losing my streak... But I'm still pushing through a decent number per week!

          I was at 35 days, then lost it. I hate the way that they do streaks. It times out at such a time that if I have a busy day, I wake up, work all day, and have lost my streak before I get a break to do DuoLingo. So even though I can easily do it every "day" between the time that I get up and the time that I go to bed, their arbitrary midnight to midnight system means it sometimes times out before I'm able to do it that day.

            Yeah I stopped doing it for the streak... My schedule just doesn't work with theirs like you said. Now I'm just trying for the streak if it's convenient, but first for the learning, then crowns, points, and streak.

              The crowns are good because they make me able to focus more on that and easier to ignore the streak which I think actively undermines encouraging me to stick with it.

                I am liking the crown thing too. Just getting back in and now that I am ignoring the streak and workin the crowns, I am more relaxed about it.

                I also made a ML club, no idea what the point of clubs is.

                  Must be a mobile app only thing... I can't find it in the web interface.

                      @obsolesce Interesting. so that makes clubs more pointless if you cannot join your friends based on a single language.

                        Been like that as far as I knew. That's why an ML club didn't take off, everyone was doing different languages.

                          Getting back in to this. My goal is crown level 3 on everything before I move to the next skill set.

                            @jaredbusch I need to work on that. Took Japanese in college but don't remember much now. Kept all my old textbooks though.

                              I have no excuses. I have been leaning this since 2004. Married a Japanese woman in 2007. Raise my kids bilingual.

                              I totally failed at spending any dedicated time to learning.

                                @jaredbusch I haven't kept up my learning either and I know I should . I enjoy it. It's just so easy to only do stuff with the kids and do other things that need doing.

                                  Getting to level 3 slowly but consistently. Not caring about the streak has helped.

                                    Yes, totally lost any streak potential this weekend. But was at a Mexican graduation party so did all Mexican food and everyone speaking in Spanish. So got a little practice.

                                      How do you do that?

                                      I have 66 of those "lessons" or whatever they are... Those circles, I'm not even half way through.

                                      Are you getting them (the ones you have already done) to level 3 before do new lessons? That's what I'm trying to do... Get what I've already done to level 3 or to the point that I'm fluent with them before starting new lessons.

                                          @obsolesce It takes FOREVER. So much work to get crowns.

                                            It is supposed to as it is supposed to represent a time sunk, and in theory, better understanding.

                                            At the lower side of the tree, it is a bit of a waste to go beyond crown 3 IMO. Because there is so little to each lesson, that you repeat the same small things way to many times.

                                            But at the more advanced ones, I would hope it is a bit better. I haven't worked my way back up to those yet.
