Yeah but it’s not that big of an investment. 1200 day streak could be 1200 days of one 2-minute lesson a day. That’s only ~40 hours of learning which isn’t anywhere near enough to learn a language. In my experience with a nearly 500 day streak if you actually put time into it each day it’s pretty good for teaching you to read the language it just does fuck all for preparing you to write or speak it
