After more than three years of daily streaks, I’m closing the Duolingo chapter.
1122 days. That’s consistency I’m proud of. But at some point, consistency for its own sake becomes a cage. I’ve been chasing a number instead of actual fluency.
The languages I learn, like Turkish, deserve better than 5-minute gamified sessions. So does my time.
Moving on to methods that actually match where I want to go. Reading. Conversation. Immersion. The hard stuff.
Streak: gone. Progress: just getting started.
