• 2019-09-15: Thank you for all the replies to the survey. I will be doing my best to integrate the results into the new site that I'm currently working on. I can safely say that it's going to be a lot better in every aspect than this one. But please be patient, it takes a lot of time to make sure everything works as intended. I am planning to release it in early 2020.
• 2019-05-28: It's been more than four years since I last updated the site. I know there are bugs and it could be a lot better, so now I'm considering creating a brand new site. It would be really helpful if you could fill this survey to help me with my plans. Thank you.
• 2015-01-27: You can now track your progress in the Verb Conjugations section. If you select one of the pre-defined levels or save your own preset, your results will be tracked and shown on your main page.

• 2015-01-06: Transliterations for the Chinese (Mandarin and Shanghainese) sentences have been added.
  From now on, in 'Sentence Practice', you can have the audio repeated when the answer is shown and you can loop the audio as well. Let me know if these features are bugged for you.
• 2015-01-02: 37 new texts have been added.
• 2014-12-17: A new section called 'Texts' has been added with 9 languages and 25 texts for now, introducing Japanese, Italian and Danish to the site (still no sentence practice for these languages though). Also, 1358 Russian, 104 Spanish, 101 German and 32 French sentences have been added. The difficulty levels are different for most languages now.
• 2014-12-09: The 'Test' function has been fundamentally changed. I tried to address the most common complaints.

• 2014-11-24: New feature: you can now take tests. The main advantages of tests over sentence practice are: your answers are graded automatically; no typing is required; it's more tablet-friendly.

  • Your average performance for the session now shows your average rating instead of the percentage.
• 2014-11-02: Audios are now normalized (volume differences have been removed). I also had to restructure some of the underlying processes, so please report if you experience any new errors.
• 2014-11-01: I have added a slow version for every sentence. I set the playback speed to 65% for the conversions. Please let me know if you think it should be some other value and whether the quality is good enough. The hotkey for starting the slow track is CTRL-Shift-Space or CTRL-s.
• 2014-11-01: As per popular request, I have set up hotkeys for easier navigation of the site. Please let me know if you would prefer some other hotkey layout or if it doesn't work for you properly. The current hotkeys are as follows:
  • CTRL-Shift-Space or CTRL+s: Click Play Slow/Pause Slow button and stop the other track if playing.
  • CTRL+Space: Click Play/Pause button and stop the other track if playing.
  • Enter (in the text field): Click 'Check' button.
  • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (on the solution page): Click buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 accordingly.
