Crazy Language Learners

So I have been on Duolingo for quite some time now. But what I noticed is that some people have a really crazy high day streak. So why do some people enjoy learning languages so much?

The same here, people usually link erroneously learning with laziness and a negative connotation; even the word "study" causes a kind of allergies among people who make them reject even the possibility to begin the process of learning something new, as a language. I think our experiences with Duolingo can help them to realize that there is a way to learn a language and do it properly, without paying lots of money.
Well, the streak simply shows that a person at least logs in everyday and does a minimum of 1 lesson. It's really not that hard to do, unless you're forgetful or have a very busy life. I guess motivation is a key, too. Though, many people have many reasons as to why they love to learn languages. Some do it to connect to family, friends, or an aspect of a culture they adore. Some just love languages in general, or the "thrill" of learning them.
I don't know why I love languages in general, except the fact that I love learning about different cultures. I could go into the specifics of French or Romanian, but I would go on and on. I actually had no interest in French until high school where I came to fall in love with the language and hopefully become more than proficient in it. ^ ^
oh. I am not an English speaker, I do not understand what you mean. sorry about that.

Opportunities and the freedom to do fine in many places without having to deal with pesky language barriers.
