Great stuff!
Small UX thing: Make it so you can just click a word to fill in the next empty spot, instead of having to drag, similar to when building sentences in Duolingo. Especially when not on a touchscreen, having to drag is pretty painful and reduces accessibility.
Aaa, you saved me, thought it's broken, but you have to drag this thing!
ps. video shouldn't loop as default, it's annoying.
I actually like the default looping. When I’m learning and trying to train my ear, I need to listen to the phrase over and over and it’s helpful to not have to click play again.
You didn’t even read the most basic settings that clearly say “click and drag interface” or something similar. But I still agree, tapping/clicking should work in sequential order eventually (it’s not as easy to implement).
Re, looping; there are controls to turn it off. You aren’t paying attention one bit. If you’re going to say things, at least be diligent in the things you are going to address.
I also don't read all of the terms and conditions, and I feel free to get mad at unreasonable items that I discovered while using the product. Fight me.
FYI: when people say "X is default and it's annoying", it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't know how to turn off X.
You don't need to be so combative in this feedback thread for someone's language learning app.
It’s not clear that those controls are for the video on first glance. I thought they referred to the exercise itself (eg, restart exercise).
I think you’re not thinking like a new user.
Will do. I also like the click to place more than dragging & dropping.
