My wife has like a 230 day streak in Duolingo and every time I speak any Spanish to her (I'm like early intermediate level maybe) she doesn't understand. She's just hooked on making number go up.

Duolingo is kind of garbage. As a native french, for fun, I tried to quickly finish the whole french course. I quit well before halfway. Duolingo would refuse perfectly fine sentences. The accepted answers aren't flexible enough.

I didn't try english though.

Esperanto is super easy if you speak both french and english. But man there is less content on the internet than klingon...

I have a 1400+ day streak in Russian. I can only understand the odd word or two when I listen to a native speaker.

Good news: you only need to know 5 words to get around in Russia.

230 days is not very far in if you're doing the minimum each day, but something simple? ¿Donde esta el gato?

Does she supplement her Spanish learning with anything else? Books? TV? Music or podcasts? Or does she ask you to help her?
