How do you get the excitement back if you're on a long streak? (lemmy.ml)

So I've been using Duolingo long enough that it's become background noise: think I'm on a 780-some streak at this point.

I'm essentially only dropping by daily to do one lesson and maintain the streak, as opposed to actually wanting to learn something new. It's probably not helped by the new unit structure constantly repeating things that have just been covered; I think this is the fourth time I've worked through the weekdays in Hindi...

Which is all to ask: for those lemmites (lemmings?) who are on a long streak, how do you get the passion back?

This. I'm just at ~300 day streak and already had some hindi knowledge as it was taught in school for some years.

Earlier i loved the time when 3-4 units could be started together ,but this repetition thing feels so bad. I dont even do the last 2 lessons in units since it gives no new words and just skip to next unit.

And sorry i have no solution for you. But having some friends to learn together is a good way. I even imagine it like having a competition with them. It helps me to not waste streakfreezes.
