Finished my German tree! :)
Really, really great experience for me. I've studied German outside of Duolingo before coming here, so I was prepared... lol. :)
Thanks for bringing me this experience!
I would do a screenshot of my amazing golden owl, but unfortunately, I'm not sure how I can upload it on to a discussion. : )

I finished my tree as well and my final % is 48. I am having 48% even though my tree is kept completely golden all the time.
I'm at 49% and I'm not quite done with my tree. I've only got one set of lessons left, but still, I'm over 48%. No clue how or why.
It is normal. I heared some people had somewhere around 52% but that is highest that I heared about.
I tested my way through the whole French course for fun. I reached 54% in about 10 minutes and it never went up after that.
Interesting - just finished the German tree myself and I am 49% 'fluent' and level 24; took about 2 years to do it. Must be related to frequency not just number of words learnt. I did get to 52% at one stage then obviously deteriorated.
I finished my tree in 6 months, at level 17, all golden, but only at 37% "fluency." I think its because I do a lot of my practice on the bus, and have frequent typos which the program picks up as mistakes. Really not sure what factors they look at.

Just asking... how do you make the text colorful? (coming from a formatting noob)
Ich kann!! Hier

Wild - I'm level 18 and still haven't even reached the last checkpoint.
It's not how fast you finish, but rather if you can actually use what you've learned. Keep up the good works. :-)
Some people's study habits are radically different. I personally always keep my trees gilded so I am at some freakishly high levels for what little I learnied.
Even though I am level 6 in Irish I only just passed the first checkpoint, because it's a difficult language that needs plenty of practice. But my Spanish tree? It's super easy and I'm around halfway done :)
Cos you review and keep your strength bars up . You know more German than someone who races through the tree without ever revisiting a lesson.

I'm on my way to finish the German tree :) although it's going slow, because it is huge XDXDXD :)
congratulations man ... now go to Immersion section and sharp your German skills ;) ... good luck :)
Me too!!! Man, it was getting ridiculous towards the end. Could barely keep up with the "No weak words but do these anyway" ;o) My record is 38 in one evening - that was the only way to get to the end. Congrats to you - I KNOW what you had to go through!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON FINISHING YOUR TREE!!!!
;P
I had put it down for a bit and came back and THE TREE IS SO MUCH LONGER
Congratulations! As far as the % fluent, it depends on how you test out. I was stuck at 48-52% for the longest time, and then I took a progress test and got a 4.9/5, if I remember correctly and now my fluency level is 66%, according to the green owl itself.
