Getting to lvl 25
Hiya! So far I've only gotten my German tree to level 25, mainly because I did a lot of strengthening and some Immersion. But now that Immersion's gone, are there any other ways (besides excessive strengthening) to reach that final level? I know that it's just a number, but I love working towards something. Looking for tips from users who have reached 25. Thanks!

It takes a lot of time to reach level 25, but you can succeed it by making your tree golden, Do a lot of practice and if you try the timed practice, you are sure to check your ability to read and understand in the few seconds given to you.
I am working hard on my tree and I have made half of my tree golden and the most important thing is you need a lot of hard work and practice.
Nope. It's a loonnngggg boring journey through countless XP to reach the goal. I really wish immersion was around.
I bought the timed practice. I go the top of the tree, look at the first skill, see three lessons. Refresh with timed practice three times, move on. All the way down the tree. I'm about a third down the tree now.
Before that was endless random practice until I found this somewhat helpful method.
I need 6000 xp more, which is 6000 correct questions I have to answer.
I don't think I'll ever do this again with another language, I'll just casually reach level 25 after a few years if there's no immersion substitute.
It's really tough. Just bare through it.

Wouldn't call it either tough or boring, but I agree that it's a long journey. I think it took me over two years.
Thank you! I never mind answering questions. Yes, I had zero knowledge of the German language when I started. I now feel that I have a pretty comfortable base. I've never (sadly) had the opportunity to have a conversation in it. But I am able to read stuff and get the jist of it. It took me about a year and a half to get to lvl 25.
It just takes a really long time. The only languages I am up to 25 in are from when immersion was still around. I have really been working to get there with Catalan, but it just takes time. I think it may well take me another year, but then, I am in no rush. I mainly used timed practice at this point and am learning other things too at the same time.
