You’re also given a clear path to mastery for your chosen language in the form of a vertical skills list. The Daily Goal section gives you a tangible reference point for the shorter feedback loop of daily learning, and the day streak gives you a reference point for how many days you’ve logged in and practiced. Now, to caveat this, the trend of daily streaks in digital products is quite often a poor manifestation of the behavior manipulation I’ve spent a good portion of this chapter attempting to discourage. I don’t wish to gloss over the fact that I’m not personally convinced this is a positive implementation of the feature—or that a positive implementation of it even exists. Duolingo’s approach is far from perfect.

Completing lessons in Duolingo, similar to winning battles in an RPG, gives us EXP, and enough EXP can increase our Crown Level (Figure 5-6), which we’re shown contributes toward our daily goal.
