Does she actually speak the language sheâs learning?

Wifeâs streak is at 1,618 days across multiple categories. Almost 4.5 years. I imagine itâs like smoking at this point.

Having heard very mixed things about Duolingoâs actual usefulness, does your wife speak or write well in any of the languages sheâs used the app to learn?

What is the actual point of a streak?
A sense of pride and accomplishment?

At one point it was gamification to tie the reward center of your brain into continuing to train using the app. Now it seems that itâs half that or half en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pattern to get you to pay to keep that reward system going.

Personally, my interest in language learning comes and goes. Doing the minimum to maintain a streak prevents me from forgetting too much before my interest returns.

Gamification including social aspects if youâre a regular app user.
Abusive ex if you arenât a regular user.
