They have a legendary level now

Doesn't seem to exist in Spanish yet

Maybe because Swedish lacks all the other stuff the major languages have such as stories and all that.

Maybe it was easier to implement there. Yeah.

The new content for Spanish is 10x the size of the total content for most languages!

Got it!

I figured it would be much easier to get now than in later tiers. I only needed over 1k for the week to win. But I purposely gave myself a 100% lead over 2nd place so nobody would feel like trying.

Heck yeah, by Diamond it is bordering on impossible. I've tried several times and if I work at it 24x7 as fast as I can and do nothing else... I can't get even close. I'm pretty sure that people have bot networks setup to do it. Literally. There's no way for a single device to rack up points as fast as people tend to get them.

Good thing #346: I just reached level 11 of Pineapple Spanish: Fluency Vocabulary Course on Memrise. #memrise #learning

I thought about paying for DuoLingo because I can't stand the ads all the time and lack of freedom.

But lately I have been doing a lot on Anki. There's some really great decks in there. I also paired it with Mango which has been great as well. Another one that is great is Beelingual when you want to start doing more reading.

TL;DR

Anki
Mango
Beelingual

My DuoLingo stopped showing ads a while ago. No idea why.

You aren't the first person to ask me that today. But on my end, it seems fine. What are you seeing on your side?
