Daily goals and streaks

Daily goals and streaks exist to help you build a steady habit, one short session at a time.

Daily goals

Your daily goal is the number of correct answers you aim for each day in your active language. Set it on the Goals page:

• Daily Target sets the same goal for every day of the week.
• Weekly Schedule lets you set a different goal per weekday - a smaller target on workdays, a larger one at the weekend.

Then choose Save Goals.

Progress toward today's goal is shown as a ring on the Study dashboard, with {done}/{goal} correct today in the middle.

Rest days

Set a weekday's goal to 0 to make it a rest day. The dashboard shows Rest day instead of a ring, and your streak is safe without practising.

You can still study on a rest day if you feel like it - the button becomes Practice anyway.

Streaks

A streak counts the days in a row you've met your goal. The dashboard shows your current streak with a flame, and a checkmark once today is done.

Two things to know:

• Streaks are per language. Practising Spanish doesn't keep your Japanese streak alive. This is deliberate - the whole point is knowing whether you're actually maintaining each language.
• Rest days don't break it. A day with a goal of 0 keeps the streak intact, though it doesn't add to it either.

Streak days earn stars, with bonuses at 3, 7, 30 and 100 days.

Goals are separate per language

Each target language has its own goals and its own streak. Switch language from the menu, then open the Goals page again to set that language's targets.

A tip

Keep the goal small enough that you'll hit it on your worst day. A goal of 10 you meet every day builds far more vocabulary than a goal of 50 you abandon after a week. You can always do more than your goal - the button turns into Practice more once you've hit it.
