"You don't need very much discipline" and "5 year streak". Sorry, but is my definition of discipline that off? You managed to have 5 years of discipline. That's the reason you managed to learn a language, not because the duolingo gamishittification does miracles.

The gamification is what helped me make it this far. Remembering to pop open an app for a few minutes on your phone takes so much less discipline than any other form of language learning I've tried in the past.
