That sounds hilarious.

But then you remember that people had been trying to learn a single language through their entire lives in ancient Rome, Egypt etc. We are indeed lucky to have gems gamifying the process.

Duolingo gems are only there to freeze your daily streak and join streak challenges. You don't need them.
