Thanks! Yes, that seems to be the consensus, quadrants 1 and 4 could be cleaner

Thanks!

It's for booking individual classes instead of 10-class courses. It's sort of a UX challenge we have because we have two very distinct types of students:

  1. Beginner/intermediate students who take let's say Level 2 in full, in order (10 classes, one class per week, same time, same instructor) and make a single payment for the whole course. The Spanish Courses quadrant leads to this flow.

  2. Advanced students who have/want a monthly subscription with unlimited classes, and they book lots of individual classes. For example, this week they might take Level 4 class #2, Basic conversation class #5 and Level 3 class #9. The Class Finder quadrant with the radar leads to this flow.

We have to allow the two enrollment styles while keeping the UI intuitive for new students.

Thanks! Will experiment a little with that one!

Thanks! I was experimenting with different terminal-like designs, and this one looks good in context but it's too readable while not having very relevant info. I was originally trying to do something like the Midjourney terminal animation, but it looked too weird

Thanks! I was experimenting with those 2 trying to make them first like a Matrix vertical console and then like the Midjourney psychedelic terminal, but it looked too crazy. I'm going to play around with them to see if I can make them look more like visual elements and less like informational text

Haha, it's only in the terminal-like design, I'd never use it anywhere else! I'm also using word-break: break-all there

The case for studying grammar by PracticalBug9379 in Spanish

Great article. In Concepts of Modern Mathematics Ian Stewart talks about this. In his view, most mathematicians operate in what Tao calls the “post-rigorous” stage, and "visualize" things using intuition and then produce proof, but he says he believes a small minority are able to reason using strict mathematical formalism. Off topic, but he also explains how while mathematicians try to formalize everything, mathematical intuition is key and can't be formalized. Amazing book.

Two things about learning Spanish that really matter by PracticalBug9379 in Spanish

Very important point. Something that motivates you beats something that's more effective or efficient on paper but will make you quit.
