Kana recognition improvement

Postby briannewton » July 7th, 2006 6:33 pm

Hey guys,

This is my first post. I started listening a month or two ago and have started from your first podcast, listening to 6 or 7 every day I commute. I'm up to May finally. =)

My feature request is for the Kana recognition section to have abit of adaptive ability. Meaning, if you miss a kana, make it more likely to show up again. I took a decent amount of Japanese in college, so I knew all the Kana at one point, but some stuck more than others. And rather than see all the kana until I find one I'm not good at remembering it would be great if when you got a kana right it took it out of the cycle for example.

I know you can just uncheck the ones you know below to drill the ones you don't, but for general practice I think it'd be much easier just to check them all and then let the system drill you on the ones that you can't remember very well.

Just a suggestion. ;) Thanks guys and great job otherwise, I love the podcasts!

I actually mentioned this to them a while back. They should be looking into it.

Great. I'm a web developer and hate when people say, "It should be easy, just do this" when they have no idea how it was made.

But regardless, it should be easy. =) They're probably already building a list of the Kana to display and choosing randomly. When you get one correct, remove it from the list. Have reset rebuild the list.

Or something like that.
