I want to improve my English. This is the normal way we say this sentence in English. In Chinese 水平 is required to convey the meaning of proficiency level, but in English this meaning is implied.

"I want to improve my English level" should be accepted.

What is wrong wot skill instead of proficiency?

水平 literally refers to a level, not just to the proficiency. In all instances in this module the English translation should be "proficiency level" or "skill level".

I "would like to" is just as good as "want to"!

Duolingo should be consistent.

想 can also mean "would like"

"I would like to improve my English proficiency" marked wrong, but why, Duo?

"I want to improve my English proficiency" is bad English. No native English speaker would say this.
