What features would you like to see?

Hi סקלן,

Thank you for the kind words, and you're very welcome… glad you're liking the site! :D

Agreed about points #2 and #3.

For #1: I think this should already be happening. Can you post a link to a course where this isn't working?

Thanks 🙂

DW7 I've just added a new feature for making correct answers be shown for a short time before proceeding to the next question: https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/208-beta-new-feature-pause-after-correct-answer 🙂

DW7

Brilliant - thanks ! (Good to hear that you are still able to work on MLWL.)

neoncube

DW7 Yes, thanks! ^_^ I've had more time to work on it lately 🙂

Hi! This site is fantastic!! I really love that we can choose in each review/learning session how many words will be presented to us and how they will be tested in particular.

If you do need ideas (1 & 4 are most important to me but maybe the others are of interest)…

The option of missing multiple choice and typing questions, of doing it in both directions (word-->definition and definition-->word), and of deciding if with both multiple choice and typing whether only multiple choice or only typing has both directions (not sure if that last one is clear!). I really liked that in memrise's learn feature first had you see the word, then select its definition in multiple choice, then select the word in multiple choice, and then type 4x (or something like that). I felt that was really useful for learning bit by bit--to me things like Anki don't work because I can't remember a word right away, I need to see it a few times first. If there could be some kind of advanced setting where learners can adjust this to our needs that would be even better than memrise!
Some kind of indicator of progress during learn/review sessions. It's helpful to know whether I've done less than, about, or more than half of the session, for example, and keeps me motivated to continue (another thing I miss in Anki)
Some kind of indicator of progress on the course itself: same reason
In memrise, when there were special characters in responses, it would list all special characters used in the course below the typing prompt in review and learn. This was really helpful because it wasn't necessary to learn a whole new keyboard layout or constantly copy/paste. If automatic detection is too complicated right now, maybe a button that provides all the special characters listed in Microsoft word (+/or possibility for users to contribute site-wide to reduce work for you?)
Least important for me: indicator of progress on a particular word shown during learning session (memrise had the growing flower thing, but even just a bar showing progress is great!).
Could be interesting later on: the possibility of categorizing words by progress made, in terms of how well you know it/review times (ie: last assigned to be reviewed within 7 days of when you learned/reviewed it; last assigned to be reviewed within 8-30 days of when you reviewed it; last assigned to be reviewed within 30-365 days of when you reviewed it; last assigned to be reviewed after 366 days of when you reviewed it). Perhaps just symbols to quickly see where you are in a word, or maybe even possibility to divide full list of words by progress on the word. Categories could be something like recent, decent, solid and expert, or if you want to go with with the village theme it could be sticks, bricks, house and mansion or something
Similar to 6: the possibility to see the list of words in a course that are causing the most difficulty, ie if you've responsed incorrectly more than 30% of the time (maybe even make this number adjustable in an advanced setting for each user?), and maybe even to review specifically that list of words?

taubercat I absolutely brain-dumped here so let me know if anything is unclear 🙂

Hydroptere

for ex, my course https://mylittlewordland.com/course/351862/7-mittelstufe-%E2%99%AA

or this https://mylittlewordland.com/course/269314/dli-cbc-unit-3/review/level-up/825879/825880

i think it depends on the direction of learning/reviewing etc, but when i change that, i lose the audio most of times

many thanks

neoncube

Hydroptere I have a fix for this, although it's currently only available on the beta site. See https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/236-beta-playing-audio-after-answering-rather-than-before for details, and if you try it out, let me know how it goes! 🙂

neoncube

Hydroptere I think this should now be fixed. Let me know if it's not! 🙂

Hydroptere

neoncube many thanks… have a huge backlog on… everything. Just this world went crazy

The only reason I still use memrise is because I want to be able to type in other writing systems. I have no idea how difficult it is to offer this option, but if it is feasible, could you consider including it? Thank you very much!

armazenamentoparaestudos Sorry for the super late reply. I've been thinking about this for a while but don't yet have a plan.

My initial thoughts were that it'd probably be best to encourage people to install the keyboard of the language that they're learning, but I hadn't considered languages that don't have a keyboard.

I can definitely see how it'd be nice to have a convenient way to type special characters, too 🙂

neoncube

Hydroptere I know that feeling… XD

Hope everything is well! 🙂

大天犬木

Hi! I'd love to see the following features if/when you can (apologies if any of these are redundant in this thread):

Ability to mark/flag challenging words for extra/exclusive review.
Likewise, an ability to mark words as "already learned" that moves them to review.
Ability to sort courses in the public course search pages by number of words. (This one would be really nice!)
The ability to look at the answer/definition without jumping to the whole vocab list. Basically just an unhide button that reveals the answer.
Maybe add a feature in the "Learn" mode where the vocab is introduced individually. I know I can just read the list beforehand, but I'd greatly prefer to have them introduced one at a time throughout the lesson.

Thanks!!

neoncube

大天犬木 I've added the ability to sort courses by the number of words: https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/170-small-bug-fixes-etc/20 ! 🙂

Can you explain #4 a bit more?

Nikooru9422 Can you elaborate?

@"大天犬木" i agree with these, number 5 especially!

also, neoncube, for me (and it could definitely be just my opinion here) when doing review, it becomes tricky to do a review as you progress through the course as the word bank gets bigger. even if i deselect "review all", the review time itself takes me 20 minutes to finish a session. it deters me from wanting to learn new words in the learn session after the review session as it takes up much of my time and (once again - could be just me) im hoping to do a quick review and learn daily throughout the week instead of a weekly/biweekly review and learn because of the time i have. does this make sense?

thanks for all you do with my little word land

Currently (at least in the course I'm practicing https://mylittlewordland.com/course/351593/5000-top-portuguese-words-with-audio/review/level-up/1076108/1076107) there is no way to review (or learn) spelling from audio. So a learning/review mode which has q:audio a:word might be useful. And should be easy to implement.
