So

There might still be 6 days and 1 hour left of this week's league on duolingo, but I'm in first place! With only 540XP!?! I guess now doing a lesson right away had an advantage? Here's hoping I can keep my position! (The downside is I worked all weekend so tomorrow will be my ninth day of work in a row and I have to make it to Friday at work. I may not have enough brains for language this week...)

Bon chance, mon amie!

Merci beaucoup!

(On a side note, I just finished watching an episode of NCIS in French. I got about 5 minutes in before I caved and turned on subtitles XD On the plus side, I have a whole season to practise with :D)

Good luck! (Also, 540 XP in a day is seriously impressive. I consider it a feat if I can do 50 XP in a day with my spoon count.)

Thanks! I've done more in a day, but that is when I'm on afternoons and can basically do duolingo all day. I find I usually have enough energy for 100-200XP, although I have had a few days where I only meet my daily goal.

Good luck. I have no idea about my league standings, points, or anything else "gamified" on Duolingo. I'm just hoping to learn something more useful than "the goat is eating the papaya." Come t' think of it, I'm about to blow my xx day streak. Oh well, rather a buy day, and don't care (well, not too much).

Thanks :) It didn't work out last week but seems to be going better this week. I don't pay to much attention to the standings, but I'm goal-oriented and completionist enough that I want to get all the "achievements" if possible. If I don't get it, I'm not heart broken, but trying to reach the number one spot does also have the effect of causing me to practice more than I might otherwise. And especially with French, I'm finding that more vocabulary and complex sentence structures get thrown in the further you go, even if there still are the occassional wonky sentences.
