@wendynather have you "evaluated" your skills with a speaker of that language?

I read a piece a while back about how Duolingo has become almost its own thing, people striving for achievements, competing... but avid users couldn't pass entry level evals....

Wondering what you think about that.

@tvidas Oh, it’s definitely not enough to be able to learn to speak. It’s so gamified, I’ve made it through entire languages without retaining much.
