      For those of you who are getting to higher percentages and spending time in the app, do you actually feel like you're gaining real proficiency?

      Yes, but having taken 4 years of Spanish in HS, there are areas that I need to review that have not come up yet. And the site/app uses some different word for some things than I was taught, so that keeps tripping me up. But it is good practice, and it is improving my typing speed as well (because I'm just trying to blow through the level I/II stuff).

      App in Castilian. Most US schools teach Mexican.

      I learned mexi-cubano.

      Wow

      Well, a combo of Mexican and central American taught by a cuban. But we learned a little Castilian in SP. 4.

          @scottalanmiller That's a bit mind-twisting...

                  I'm not sure the Fluency percentage is correct. If you do the same daily exercise, it is the same content, but it's giving you credit for knowing more.... at least that is what it seems to me.

                  ETA: I say that because after just two exercises (repeated) I'm 10% fluent?

                  That can't be right.

                    Except it doesn't do that. You have to practice every day to MAINTAIN your fluency. There is no credit for doing the same words over and over again.

                      And I had over 80 and was at 1%, so it's not the number of exercises.

                        My eight year old has joined the challenge! She learned about DuoLingo last night and is super excited about learning Italian. She loved learning some Spanish before when living in Spain. She did two lessons on Italian last night and has DuoLingo on her own phone now.

                            I feel like DuoLingo is a little judgemental @Dominica

                              No beating around the bush here.

                                That was a monumental effort from 44% to 45%...

                                    FOr those wondering, I hit 46% on Italian yesterday. To MAINTAIN this level, I had to do another 18 lessons today just to get back from 45% to 46%. That's how many lessons deprecate per day!!

                                      If it is going to be this time consuming at 46% (or 43% for me in Spanish), how difficult do you think it is going to be as time progresses? I am not sure about Italian, but I have noticed that I am not spending as much time before the first checkpoint as I was before. Hopefully, there is some kind of logic going on so that we are not spending as much time in earlier lessons and that they will be concreted in. However, I would not be surprised to see if you could digress from fluent back to 0% if you left it alone long enough.

                                        My Spanish was like 30% and dropped down to 1% after a long time not using it.

                                          I've started using Drops (five minutes a day for free) on my iPhone as well.
