Doing so indicates that you are regularly exposing yourself to new words. But it&#8217;s not the only thing you should focus on. Listening, for example, is a crucial skill to practice. But if it&#8217;s not being rewarded, then you won&#8217;t be as motivated to do it.<\/p>\n<p>In LingQ 5.0, the Daily Goal and Streak are based on Coins earned. You earn Coins not only by creating LingQs but also by increasing the status of LingQs, adding Known words, reading and listening.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-176598748 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-09-at-4.35.24-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-09-at-4.35.24-PM.png 390w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-09-at-4.35.24-PM-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So the new Daily Goal and Streak tracking is far more comprehensive.
