I've got this sentence in an email from an internet site where I learn foreign languages. What does it mean?
Way to go! You are on a 1 day streak!

A streak is
a period of repeated success or failure
In this case, it's a task you have fulfilled a consecutive number of days. A 1 day streak isn't really a streak, because there is no 'repeat'. If you fulfil the task tomorrow again, you will be on a 2 day streak. Next day, you could be on a 3 day streak. If at any day in the future you don't fulfil the task, you will be counting from 1 again.

1So, "you're on a one-day streak" is a sarcastic remark. Commented Sep 25, 2015 at 16:12

In other words, those who programmed that site either did it on purpose (knowing that 1-day streak is not a streak) or didn't realize it might sound sarcastic. Like those who create the UI "there are 1 items in your cart"... Commented Sep 25, 2015 at 16:21

I think, Glorfindel is right. Definitely, it was an automatically generated email. Thank you all for your help. Commented Sep 26, 2015 at 16:41
