Best way to work through Duolingo?

[Shalinko]

What is the best way to work through Duolingo? Should I do each step to level 25, or at least quite a high level, or can I jump ahead if it is easy for me? I live in Czechia and can speak ok, so it's a tad boring at the start.

if you think you're skilled enough to pass by the first few lessons, i would recommend you take a test to jump to the next checkpoint rather than doing every lesson individually.

Thanks Sicily, so I just do the "test out of one skill" thing?

yes, the big golden button with the keyhole on it. if you're really confident in your abilities you could probably try to test out of more skills by choosing a checkpoint further down the tree.
