Comment on Show HN: A New Way to Learn Languages

Comments

This is great!

A few bits of feedback:

1. It's not at all clear that one should "Bookmark" a snippet to add it to the study queue. Perhaps reword the toast to say "Sentence marked for study" or similar.

2. I can't seem to unmark snippets from the podcast player.

3. The snippets are almost never entire sentences for me, and I would appreciate having quite a bit more context in the snippet review--at minimum, the preceding and following snippets. I should note that the snippet size is fine for reading along with the podcast.

4. I'm very intrigued with the Pimsleur mode. I could see myself being a heavy user of that feature with some tweaking. At my level, repeating everything in English is too much. It would be neat if it only repeated words I haven't marked as known, and if it only repeated that word in translation instead of the entire snippet. I also think I would want to hear the Spanish before the translation to English.

I will take note of your feedback, thanks.
