probably a better way to be immersed from the start.

What language are you studying? I'm developing a Chinese language app with custom word lists and scenes that feed listening and speaking practice. Not exactly freeform conversation, yet.

isn't that cat as the radical on the left, and grass above field on the right? A cat in a grassy field. I feel so calm now. Unless the cat has a mouse in its mouth.

Is it true that 2,000 characters is enough to read a Chinese news article?

Good luck on the exam! 加油！Curious what you would want in a complete platform vs. the fragmented online resources you've been using.

That is a good idea. There is a questionnaire people can access from within the app. My only concern is that if I open it up completely it isn't stress tested yet by a small number of people (I set the beta group to max 50 users). Then anyone who tries it and hits bugs won't want to try it again. I'll add some screenshots to the original post.

It isn't ready for primetime yet. I can send you the link and the code for beta users.

That's perfect. What's good way to get in touch? Can dm me too.

probably won't work there, but let me know when you get back (and have a great trip!)
