I’ve completed 30 Mango Language lessons.
Is that paid or free?
Well it’s paid. But paid for by the local library in Farmers Branch.
-
Just hit 40%
-
I’m pushing hard to get to 60% but have no idea how to do it.

Did you reach the bottom or something?
-
I only finished 16 of 66 skills.

Long ago. I keep it at 100% gold, including the required bot stuff, both add ins that you buy with lingots, and I have full bars on the entire bot system. I’m as maxed out as you can get and I do more than enough to maintain it every day.
-
I’m in the process of re-upping my Italian slowly to try to get it back to 100% gold as well, which it used to be.
-
The amount of content that they have for Spanish is about double most of their language so. Even French and German don’t come very close.
-
How many skills are there for spanish?
-
63 normal skills. Then the three huge conversation pieces that don’t exist for other languages. Then the massive bots system than is only one or two languages.
-
Here you can see two of the big conversation skill groups.
-
This is what the bots look like. They are each worth about 3+ skills.

Then how is it you can't get past 60%? That seems like more than enough, especially if I've hit 40% after completing 16 of 66?

That makes no sense since I was at that point a long time ago. You are saying that "doing what I already did" would get me past 60%. But obviously I've long ago done that and it got me to around 40%. I've had to just keep chugging away at keeping my gold up to slowly gain one percentage point every few days.

No what I"m saying is that I completed 16 skills, which got me to 40% fluent. I would assume that completing 66/66 skills would get me to 100%, or at least close to it, where maintaining it for a month or two would take it to 100%.
What I don't understand is that if you completed your entire Spanish lesson (all 63 skills), and that only got you to roughly 60%, then that means it's impossible to get much more untill they add more content / skills to complete.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, and you already got to 100% fluency, stopped doing it for awhile, went back down, and now can't get it back up to 100% again...?

It doesn't work that way at all. Completing 100% of Italian gets you to around 34% Fluency. Completely Spanish gets you to around 42%. All other languages are less than Spanish when maxed because they have so much less.
Since I've completed all 66, and it doesn't get you anywhere close to 60%, even if you complete all the option stuff and things that aren't the skills, it definitely doesn't get you there.
There is no way to get to 100%, that we know. But I know that Maggie can get to 64% on French.

It doesn't get you anywhere near 60%. It's been months of me maintaining 100% completetion with 100% gold on every possible thing to slowly gain one percent here and there. I'm on a 72 day streak, I was basically maxed out when I started it.

No, I've been 100% "down", but fluency is very slowly increasing.
-
So upon me completing my entire lesson consisting of 66 skills, I shouldn't expect to get past ~60%, even though after completing 16 skills I'm sitting at 40% with all 16 of them being gold?

You shouldn't expect to get anywhere close because you are not doing Spanish, French or German, the languages with the highest fluency potential on DuoLingo.
