 My family has no interest in learning another language, because of 'Merica.

 I found out that the percentages mean nothing, there are complaints all over DuoLingo about it. I was 48% in Italian weeks ago, down to 43% now even though I have finished it and do five to ten practice sessions per day. Turns out each language's percentages are totally different and being 100% on DL will randomly give you from 25-65% but never more. It's totally arbitrary and tells you nothing. Your completion rate and level are the only telling numbers

 Well that sucks... I'm almost through the basics. lol

 @marigabyfrias got to 54% on French in one day, which is higher than most of the languages even go, for example. Italian is believed to not top 50% even when perfect. Spanish goes the highest, rumoured that one guy once hit 65%.

 @FiyaFly said in DuoLingo Challenge: Well that sucks... I'm almost through the basics. lol Yeah, you get like 20% for getting the first four lessons done. Then you never get beyond 43% even when doing two hours every day for months and completing everything
