Who else uses Duolingo? When will my fluency percentage go up?

I remember it said I was 9% fluent after I took the placement test and was placed right before the first checkpoint, but I'm already past the 2nd checkpoint now, and it still says I'm at 9% fluency.

I'm at 64% Fluency. It goes up the more you learn. Remember that you're supposed to be fluent at the language at 100%, so the 2nd checkpoint isn't that far.

Okay, thanks. I just figured it would go up by a little, maybe closer to 15% by now, but I'll just be patient with it and keep going at it.

@hiddenkitty: You definitely should. As someone who already speaks five languages, I can tell you that Duolingo is amazing for learning more. Instead of teaching you one and one word, it focuses on teaching you sentence structure and grammar WHILE you learn the words, hence why you sometimes gets the weirdest sentences ever. It's one of the best language learning apps out there!
Good luck learning!

It will help you learn the basics of languages but I've found that shitposting online helps more than anything else (short of living in a different country).

Yeah, I figured it won't teach everything, but I think I'll try to get through all the lessons so I can be half decent at speaking Spanish. And I took Spanish in high school, but I feel like I need a refresher and Duolingo helps.

I use it but I don't know how the percentage works. Mine always goes up since I always study but I'm sure you're studying just as hard,

Yeah, I only started 1 or 2 week ago, but I do have a lot of time right now to focus on it. Maybe it has gone up and I just don't remember the actual percentage from when I started.

@hiddenkitty: Maybe. Since you have a lot more time it'll probably go up faster. I always have a lot of time so maybe that's why my percentage is always increasing. I think yours will, too.
I gave up on that one while trying to learn Spanish.

Oh. That's too bad. I'm using it for Spanish right now.
Good luck, I might try to pick it back up soon.
Spanish teacher makes us use it.
