Hi everyone. In the question for great achievements, should I put down that I am in the top 1% worldwide for learning languages on Duolingo?
I know it’s just an app but considering how many people use it maybe the top 1% is a great achievement? 😂
Not sure re:achievements but well done, I hit 12% but only started in Sept so taking it as a win! what is your language of choice?

    Oh well done! I started last April so I have done a longer run :) Currently learning Spanish, Italian, Swedish and Norwegian (I spend about 1-1.30h practicing on all those) and want to start Arabic when I get comfortable with them. and you?

    Wow, I would struggle to have all of those on the go at once! I am learning Italian and refreshing my French as I used to be well-learned many years ago! Mandarin is on my future list once Italian is in the bag.

    I would definitely have that listed as an achievement, impressive!

    Did you get the link to the WG? Maybe check your spam as well. If it’s a mistake I’d drop their grad recruitment line a call. Hopefully this can get resolved!!
    I
    Really sorry to hear that. Did you get the "your profile is of interest but we're not sending you the WG right now" email?
    Ive not had any emails since I submitted? But last year when i was rejected my app wasn’t withdrawn? I attended an open day and they told us to submit our apps pst the deadline and they would be moved over but can’t see why my whole app would be withdrawn?

    I would definitely double check it with them and send an email.

    It’s very unlikely for GR to withdraw an application. Are you sure you may not have accidentally clicked on that button?
    I just emailed and it’s because I attended an open day apparently so it’s been withdrawn and moved to 2023 (I had to apply to the 2024 training contract) !! Thank god!! Hopefully I’ll find out the outcome soon now (my panic was just so high)
