- No Fluency Shield
No Fluency Shield
My wife has a fluency percentage displayed on her home page, on a shield. My home page has no fluency rating, no shield. Is it because I signed on with Google+ rather than just making an account?

Wow I'm a genius here :) 57% I am not sure how they calculate the percentages but I think it has something to do with mistakes. At one time they told me I could translate 94%. Yeah sure. But I am wondering how a person could move that percentage. I have kept my tree solid gold for a long time and still I find myself struggling with some lessons when I have to strengthen them. Oh and I wish with all my heart that I was 57% fluent, but reality says NO.
Yep. Me too - finished the Spanish tree - level 25 but mine is only 54% ... so you should be happy with the 55%!! I would like to know how they measure fluency, for clearly its not based on words. I am guessing that it has to do with the percentage of answers you get right, the speed with which you answer etc - to some extent that would be a measure of fluency, I guess.

I'm only at level 14 in the Spanish tree and my fluency has been showing 54% since it showed up. It appears everyone's fluency is about the same no matter what your progress. I also found the percentage to be much higher in the "you can translate" portion of a lesson.
I think it also changes depending on how many answers you get right. I haven't even finished half of my spanish tree so far but yesterday the shield said that my fluency is 51% (yes I wish it was haha). after i had I logged in this morning and done some timed practice, where I only got 3 answers correct (cough :D ) it said my spanish fluency is only 48% anymore. btw: i didn't have the shield in the beginning, it only showed up a few days ago.
There is an ongoing test. You can see some screenshots here.

Mine changed from 57 to 56 but then I have been doing just the bare minimum for the last few weeks.
