You can earn up to four badges for solving the exercise problems. One badge is awarded for the first three exercises; the second badge is awarded for the bonus exercise. If the exercises are solved in German, you can earn two additional badges. The exercises do not need to be answered in German in order to advance through the course of studies, however. This is only a small bonus for those who are already learning German.
