Hi, this is the French forum, for getting help with French grammar, vocabulary, resources, etc. Could you please edit your original post and use the drop-down list at top left to change the topic from "French " to "Duolingo"? That way it won't clutter up the French forum, and the answers you get might be of interest to others who want to discuss language study habits.

You do not have to redo it. You only need to get to Crown level 1 to unlock the next set of skills.

Yes, if you want golden circles.

I think they want you to practice them more so you don't forget the skills you have done! And the crowns motivate you! I think it is an awsome idea

true?
