Probably a bug : "You have practiced all of your words. Try doing some lessons or translations."

I kinda have a bug lately ... I seem to have dozens of skills that are not golden, but i get this when i go to strengthen your skills I mostly get "You have practiced all of your words. Try doing some lessons or translations." ... even after like 2-3 days of not learning anything, I just get like only one strengthen lesson after which i get the message again (and i still have lots and lots of not-fully-trained lessons). Thanks for any future help.

I'm afraid it's not... There have been many complaints in the forum about this, I think it has to do with the XP reduction for reviewed skills.

[remus.petrescu]

Well that sounds ... not good. Really hoped for a way to report this as a bug or something because it really looks so and not like a feature or w/e.

[anebz]

Yeah I agree, I'm not happy with the XP reduction either.

[remus.petrescu]

XP reduction is one thing ... i can live with that ... i hate it that i have lots and lots of not fully strengthened skills and still can't use the strengthen feature.

[anebz]

Yes, that's another story. I hope it stops and you can strengthen them!

It seems that Duolingo is try to force us learning new stuff instead of practicing things we believe we do not master. I think they should be more focused on fixing the "weakening algorithm". Doing a new lesson and achieving that lesson is usually a peace of cake. But mastering this lesson is not. By doing a new lesson, everybody will finish this probably within 10 minutes. That does not mean, we master this. Redoing this lesson at least 4 times, and doing this lesson within 20 "questions-answers" instead of 35 is a good indication of mastering that lesson.
