Tracking Your Progress

Tracking Your Progress

SubLearn provides comprehensive progress tracking tools to help you visualize your language learning journey. From daily habits to long-term achievements, detailed analytics empower you to set goals, celebrate wins, and stay motivated on your path to fluency.

Progress Dashboard Overview

Your learning dashboard is the central hub for progress visibility. It aggregates all metrics into a single, glanceable overview:

• Current Level — Your proficiency tier (Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced → Fluent)
• XP & Rank — Total experience points and leaderboard position
• Weekly Snapshot — Hours studied, lessons completed, streak status this week
• Active Languages — List of all languages you're studying with individual progress bars
• Upcoming Goals — Your next milestone or challenge at a glance

This overview updates in real-time as you complete activities. Refresh your dashboard anytime to see how your latest lesson pushed your progress forward.

Study Session Heatmap

Similar to GitHub's contribution graph, SubLearn displays a visual heatmap of your study sessions. Each day of the past year is represented as a small square, colored by intensity:

• No color — No study sessions that day
• Light shade — 1-3 study sessions
• Medium shade — 4-8 study sessions
• Dark shade — 9+ study sessions (peak activity day)

The heatmap reveals your consistency patterns. You can spot productive weeks, identify gaps in your routine, and celebrate sustained streaks. Hovering over any day shows detailed stats: total study time, lessons completed, and achievements unlocked.

This visual representation is incredibly motivating—watching colors fill your heatmap creates a powerful incentive to maintain momentum and avoid gaps in your learning calendar.

Vocabulary Growth Charts

Track how your vocabulary expands with dynamic, interactive charts:

• Total Words Learned — Cumulative count of unique vocabulary encountered and mastered
• Retention Rate — Percentage of learned words you successfully recall in review sessions
• New Words per Week — Bar chart showing vocabulary acquisition speed over time
• Mastery Curve — Line graph tracking word recall accuracy as review dates increase

Vocabulary charts are organized by language, category (food, travel, business), and difficulty level. This segmentation lets you see where you're strongest and which vocabulary areas need attention. If a particular category plateaus, you know to dedicate more time there.

Time Spent Learning

Detailed analytics show exactly how much time you've invested:

• Total Learning Hours — Cumulative study time since account creation
• Weekly Average — Your typical hours studied per week (rolling 4-week average)
• Time by Activity Type — Breakdown: X hours on videos, Y on exercises, Z on quizzes
• Peak Study Hours — Which time of day you study most (morning/afternoon/evening)
• Longest Session — Your personal record for uninterrupted study

These metrics help you understand your learning patterns. Are you more consistent in mornings? Do you prefer short bursts or long sessions? Use these insights to schedule study time when you're most focused and productive.

Lessons Completed Percentage

Progress through available content is tracked with precision:

• Lessons Completed — Number of lessons you've finished (with learning objectives met)
• Lessons Available — Total lessons in your current language and level
• Completion Percentage — Visual progress bar showing how far through the curriculum you are
• Lessons per Language — Separate completion tracking for each language you study

The progress bar provides clear, motivating feedback. Watching the percentage climb from 32% to 35% to 41% is tangible proof of advancement. When you hit 50%, 75%, or 100%, you unlock achievement badges celebrating your commitment.

Level Progression

Language levels advance as you accumulate XP and complete lessons:

• Current Level — Your proficiency tier (e.g., "Intermediate Level 3")
• XP to Next Level — Clear indicator of how much XP remains to advance
• Level History — Timeline showing when you achieved each level milestone
• Estimated Time to Next Level — Projection based on your recent learning velocity

Level progression is visually represented with a large progress ring on your dashboard. As you earn XP, the ring fills, building anticipation for the next level unlock. Level advancements unlock new lesson categories, more challenging content, and community recognition.

Weekly Progress Reports

Every Monday morning, SubLearn generates an email summarizing your previous week:

• Total Hours Studied — How much time you invested
• Lessons Completed — Number of lessons finished
• Vocabulary Added — New words learned and current total
• XP Earned — Points gained and leaderboard rank change
• Streak Status — How many consecutive days you studied
• Achievement Unlocked — Any special badges earned
• Week Comparison — How this week compares to your average

These reports celebrate wins and provide gentle motivation if productivity dipped. They're optional—you can customize email frequency in your learning preferences.

Setting & Reviewing Learning Goals

SubLearn supports flexible goal-setting aligned to your ambitions:

• Goal Types — Study hours per week, lessons per month, vocabulary targets, level advancement deadlines
• Smart Defaults — Platform suggests realistic goals based on your historical performance
• Goal Progress Tracking — Visual indicators showing percentage completion toward each goal
• Goal Reminders — Notifications as deadlines approach, keeping you accountable
• Goal Flexibility — Adjust or replace goals anytime without penalty

Reviewing goals weekly (especially with your progress report) aligns your daily activities with long-term vision. Check in: Are your learning habits supporting your goals? Do goals feel realistic or need adjustment? Intentional goal review is key to sustained progress.

Data Export Options

Want to analyze your learning data independently or backup your records?

• CSV Export — Download all progress data (study sessions, vocabulary, quiz scores) as spreadsheets
• PDF Reports — Generate formatted progress reports for personal records or sharing
• JSON Export — Full data export for tech-savvy learners wanting raw data access

Data exports are available from your settings page. You maintain complete ownership of your learning data—export anytime, and your data travels with you.

Interpreting Your Progress Data

Progress metrics are most valuable when interpreted thoughtfully:

• Consistency over intensity — Regular daily study (1 hour) typically outpaces sporadic marathons (5 hours once per week)
• Vocabulary is compound — Early vocabulary growth is rapid; later growth slows but represents deeper mastery
• Plateaus are normal — Learning curves have flat periods. Push through with varied content and challenges
• Celebrate non-linear progress — You may drop in leaderboard rank while vocabulary grows—both are real progress

Remember: progress is personal. Your metrics matter most when compared to your own past performance, not others' journeys. Use data to motivate, adjust, and celebrate—not to judge yourself harshly. Every word learned and every hour studied is meaningful advancement toward fluency.
