I have not heard back from duolingo re the streak thing. I don't know whether I will.
I have several dilemmas.
Do I keep going, which allows me to unofficially add the 625 to my streak since I know I continued it even if they don't? Pro: it still gives me a daily target, and learning in small increments is better than not at all. Con: Typing is hard on the computer, and the web interface sucks on iPad; it might be nice to take a break; it doesn't have to be duolingo that I do every day.
If I keep going (or take a short break and come back), what language? Welsh is fun but impractical, and of course getting harder; German would be nice to re-fluent-ize in, but there's very little practical benefit to that either; Russian has a practical benefit (one of my aides is Russian); and I could always start a new language, like Dutch or Hebrew, just for fun. I don't think it would be a great idea to try to do more than one at a time. I suppose I could do a different one every month, and just spend the first few days refreshing on that language, but that might not be the greatest.
Or I could just give up, because it's not like there's any point anyway sorry, brainweasels got out for a bit there.

i just started a couple weeks ago with esperanto, german, french, spanish, dutch, and welsh and i'm loving it! (i'm starcats there if you want to add me)
i started with esperanto because one of my friends is also doing it, then started looking at the others to learn common roots. (well, no, there are no common roots from welsh, at least that i've noticed. but i have welsh roots back 8 or so generations, so....)
i'm kind of fascinated in how dutch sort of sits between english and german.
