These streaks are terrible. When I get to streak 99 or 100, I take a break from Duolingo for a couple of days so that I lose the streak on purpose.

I'm almost at a year. Very proud of myself

Still can't really speak German though

Streaks don't mean as much as how long you're actually spending learning, but at the end of the day you can't beat immersion.

Yeah, it is a bad tool for learning to speak a language.

I got a 161 day streak for Japanese and I can understand about 1 out of every 5 sentences watching anime now. But I literally never do the speaking lessons; just the listening.

I disagree with this. It can be used like any other tool. If you put the proper effort into it, you can be successful.
