Some practice bugs in German
Hi, so in the last week I experienced some problems, both with the website and the iphone app:
- I can't 'practice skill', on the website it brings me back to home page and the app just says it cannot load.
- This is even more unfortunate because 'practice weakest words' stopped working for a while (I am so perfect, having perfect skill range for all words, even those that I saw maybe once a month ago).
It would be great to have it fixed again.
And thank you for all your hard work!! It's amazing!

Thank you for your quick reply, didn't see it until today.
Unfortunately none of the above is fixed (both website and iphone app): 1. Still can't practice a certain finished skill, say verbs 1 or clothing. 2. The golden bars for a skill are not decaying. 3. In 'practice weakest words' (the link i get is: http://duolingo.com/#practice) I keep on getting the same words and sentences while new ones (especially those verbs from last week) and other random words never appear. I really had it with eating apples ;-)
Thank you so much for taking care of it.
this is in the App, when I choose the bar strengthen skills, it just brings me back to the things I learned in the beginning. If I oush the gold cup then things are better because I'm within the "chapter". It is the Strengthen Skills bar that doesnt update.. Also on the home page, using website, it isn't giving me updated exercises in the Strengthen Your Words Lesson Practice.
Your word strength decays over time, so it makes sense that you would be getting older words if you haven't seen them for a while in Duolingo.
It's also the case that the "Strengthen Skills" button might not improve the meters on your home page. It's because those meters are averaged over all the words in each skill, and "Strengthen Skills" will practice your weakest words, which might come from all different skills. If you do "Strengthen Skill" under the gold cup, though, you only get words from that skill... so the average strength goes up.
If you are getting repetitive words in practice, though, that is a bug.
