Congrats on hitting 100 days, that's a solid streak. What nobody really talks about is how Duolingo's algorithm actually punishes you for being too consistent. I noticed once you hit those long streaks, the app starts throwing harder lessons at you way faster and the review sessions get pushed back, so you end up forgetting old stuff. It kinda feels like they want you to barely keep the streak alive instead of actually mastering the material. Just something to watch out for as you keep going.

Yeah, that's a real thing. I got to around 150 days and suddenly it was throwing subjunctive mood at me in Spanish like I was supposed to have it memorized from a quick lesson months ago. I started using the "practice" button to manually go back through old lessons before they let me advance. It messes up your streak if you do it too much though so you gotta balance it.
