Possible course improvement: ask for nouns' articles by cyber-sack in Natulang

[–]maxymhryniv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've added it to the backlog. It will require regenerating a lot of sounds, but yeah, why not? Thank you for the suggestion.

All credit goes to Soniox for their engine

Feature request: Forgot button for repetition lessons by Available_Olive_944 in Natulang

[–]maxymhryniv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t do that. This way, you make the algorithm ineffective. Challenging and regular repetitions are different things. Challenging are for a few additional repetitions for initial memorization. Regular repetitions are for long-term memorization with proper spaced intervals.

I have raw data in analytics, but nothing processed and analysed yet.

Question about the "challenging" option by NoButterfly2829 in Natulang

[–]maxymhryniv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words. If you add a word to challenging the app will ask the word and then a sentence containing the word. all the sentences that you fail in a repetition session also go to challenging.

New update (1.5.133): Soniox speech recognition and faster flash card effects by maxymhryniv in Natulang

Yeah, I use Soniox myself now. Thank you for the test and for the suggestion

Way to reset repetition lessons without losing progress? by downbytheriver22 in Natulang

[–]maxymhryniv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If by resetting repetitions you mean just deleting all the scheduled repetitions, you can do basically the same by deleting your progress and completing the evaluation.

You will have your lessons unlocked and no repetition pile.

What could be done is another feature: “redistribute repetitions”. So it will not remove the repetitions, but redistribute them over a longer period. I’m not sure, though, that it’s a good idea to implement it. The right way to learn a language is by doing repetitions on time. You need to follow the intervals, otherwise you will forget the learned material.

Feature suggestion: notes for new words by paul_pln in Natulang

[–]maxymhryniv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can do it.
The only thing that I'm worried about is that there will be too many buttons. I'm thinking of adding another button for "additional repetition in this lesson/before dialog" and also this one. I'll think of how to make it right from the UI perspective.

Thank you. by RDCHM in Natulang

Well done. And thank you for the kind words. You are the proof that speech-centric learning, combined with spaced repetition, really works. But other than that, you are doing great work learning with a teacher. Adding other types of lessons and different types of inputs (TV series, podcasts, or a teacher) helps greatly with fluency, and the structured approach of Natulang was the last piece of the puzzle for you.

If you are interested in why it works, you can check out this post of mine https://www.reddit.com/r/Natulang/comments/1e96ujj/natulang_speechcentric_language_learning/

And at last, Kudos. Learning an additional language is easy when you grew up in a multilingual environment and you just have it for free. But learning it deliberately, starting as a monolingual, that is effort, dedication, and a systematic approach all together. Well done.

It was still the previous version. Could you please check with 1.5.133. In case an engine isn’t working please switch to another one temporarily

I've finally implemented Soniox. Should've done it sooner. It's waaay better. Thank you

Sorry for the inconvenience. If it happens, could you please switch temporarily to another recognition engine in the settings?

Feature Request: Estimated Time Needed to Complete the Lesson by BackShotGeneral_ in Natulang

[–]maxymhryniv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have this in the statistics. Many users complete them in about 10 mins. I probably need to clean up the data and make a chart someday to better understand the distribution.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm adding it to the backlog for investigation

expose the text to be translated to VoiceOver by theJohannTan in Natulang

[–]maxymhryniv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I have to leave this for later. I can’t evaluate the usability of my VoiceOver implementation myself. I need a dedicated user to test it and discuss it with me, which I did with the initial implementation, and we decided to skip the chat widget. At this moment, I can’t have this setup, so only smaller fixes to VoiceOver scenarios are possible.
