#CEFR

I've been stuck on the subtle word order issues in German for weeks now... My native English patterns keep resurfacing, especially the verb‑second rule in subordinate clauses. I know the theory – the B2 Interlanguage Model, the Wug test examples – but in practice I keep defaulting to English syntax.

• Does anyone notice similar regression after a month of intensive immersion?
• Are there particular drills or corpora (e.g., DWDS, DeReKo) that help isolate the L1 bleed?
• How do you keep the "Satzklammer" stable when your brain keeps defaulting to Subject‑Verb‑Object?

I'm not sure if this is just normal plateauing or something deeper. Any insight would be appreciated.

Spent the last 200 hrs grinding the Anki deck for the new NHK 2‑Lesson series (including the 0‑2‑1‑3‑5 pitch‑accent patterns) and hit C2 on the CEFR scale, yet the Duolingo speaking test keeps marking my intonation as "incorrect".

• The app uses a generic acoustic model (v2.7) that doesn't even differentiate between mora length and pitch.
• My IPA transcription for "はし" (hashi) correctly shows [haɕi] vs [haɕiː] but the feedback just says "pronunciation needs work".
• Even after calibrating the mic and running the built‑in noise‑cancellation, it still thinks I'm mumbling.

Anyone else notice that these platforms treat advanced phonetic nuance like a bug? Or am I just being picky because I finally got my Japanese‑specific HRTF headset working and expect the software to keep up? Looking for tips or a rant‑partner.
