Getting to level 3 slowly but consistently. Not caring about the streak has helped.

Yes, totally lost any streak potential this weekend. But was at a Mexican graduation party so did all Mexican food and everyone speaking in Spanish. So got a little practice.

How do you do that?
I have 66 of those "lessons" or whatever they are... Those circles, I'm not even half way through.
Are you getting them (the ones you have already done) to level 3 before do new lessons? That's what I'm trying to do... Get what I've already done to level 3 or to the point that I'm fluent with them before starting new lessons.

Yes, I am raising to level 3 from the beginning.

@obsolesce It takes FOREVER. So much work to get crowns.

It is supposed to as it is supposed to represent a time sunk, and in theory, better understanding.
At the lower side of the tree, it is a bit of a waste to go beyond crown 3 IMO. Because there is so little to each lesson, that you repeat the same small things way to many times.
But at the more advanced ones, I would hope it is a bit better. I haven't worked my way back up to those yet.

I'm about 138 crowns in, and I'm finding the drill and kill working for me. I'm retaining way more than I used to.

Hiragana 1-3 were 10 lesson to get from 2 to 3.
Hiragana 4 is 14.

Getting back into this again. Got my wife on board also, on the same language. Hopefully that will help.
Does anyone use the Plus (Paid) version?
-
Tried this on a computer this morning. Mobile is my preferred experience, but the web version is pretty nice too.

I prefer the web, but Android gives more points for the same stuff.

I haven't noticed that, it's the same for me.
I prefer the web for learning, as the Android app doesn't give any explanations or teaching content... only practice.
-
@scottalanmiller Yeah, just started with the Web. It also lets you access the lab stuff. I like it.
-
The new "test out" feature is great. I'm really liking that. And in Spanish that added like fifty new categories of things! So much more content now.
-
I haven't touched Duolingo for a month or two.
Before, I would be able to see skill deterioration and could brush up on those and then get back into the game.
Now, I have no idea other than to just start at the beginning and get htem all to a certain point.
They all look like the pic below, with the ones up higher all at "3s". But it's been awhile...
What do you guys do now?
-
They've completely changed how it works. It is the Crown system now. I go one by one and max them out, personally. I think that that is the better idea, it's meant to do reinforcement.
-
I do at least 3-4 and then move on. I'm not even sure what number they max out at.

I'm at about 140 Crowns on Spanish right now. They added 52 more lessons to Spanish since I last completed it!
