Your progress
Rank & XP.
Everything you do here earns XP: lessons, reviews and the word games. XP never resets. The first five ranks are about turning up; after that the ladder climbs the old Spanish nobility, squire to duke to Grande de España, and each title comes with what it actually meant.

On reaching Grande V
The Grande grades are meant to be a multi-year goal, not a monthly one. At a steady ten minutes a day you should reach the titled ranks within a few months; the five Grande grades are for people who stay with the language for the long haul.
