Gamified learning works because it lowers the emotional wall.
It tells your brain: “This is safe. This is fun.”
But eventually, fluency asks for more than fun — it asks for presence.

Presence happens when you stop chasing points and start chasing meaning.
When you look at a sentence and think, Who would actually say this?
When you hear yourself laugh in another language and realize it sounds like you.

So keep your streak if it makes you happy.
Just remember: the real streak worth protecting is your voice showing up, day after day, even when no notification asks it to.
