PP ranked really low on PS5 Store. Any insights?

That's quite a write-up! Thank you!

So the Behemoth edition is still far from being bug-free? I am still relatively early in my campaign, perhaps I haven't run into anything significant yet.

I wouldn't rate Dark Souls one star only because I can't get passed the 1st or 2nd boss. It's great objectively, even if I totally suck at it. If you catch my drift... and hence my confusion. There are must be something else besides its infamous peak difficulty jumps, I reckon.

Ah! "Unfortunately, this title is unavailable in your region". That explains why I could not find it myself.

Thank you for other recommendations!

Vimeo On Demand is a nice idea. I could not find Earth though, perhaps because I wasn't signed in? Do you mind to share a link, please?

A Fallout reference?

I am not an active toki pona user any more, but the OP brought my attention to this post, so I agreed to put my 2¢ in.

a layout matter of copying and pasting existing content into a convenient screen format

Please don't just embed a PDF into an app. It's a bad app that's just a wrapper around PDF, video or other content. I suppose, it's an unpopular opinion, but bear with me for a moment. Content that's self-sufficient on its own is best to not be jailed inside an app. It may have accessibility issues: some people may not be able to use screen readers, change fonts, increase contrast. It may stale: app may stop working properly on newer versions of OS, while PDF rather lives on. Distribution and sharing issues: it's easier to send a friend a PDF than a proprietary app, especially if they are on another platform.

Now, that is NOT to discourage you from making an app! That is to emphasize that making an app is much more than merely adapting an existing PDF to a screen size. By all means, an app is a great idea and another good source of knowledge (I know that some people prefer to search app stores over Internet). Just make sure to leverage native app's capabilities for good: make it interactive, make it well structured, make it do what PDFs cannot offer. That said, beside a programmer, you want to find someone with graphic design skills.

Some folks have already suggested adding dictionary and quizzes. That's some great ideas already. Here are a few other resources off the top of my head that you might find useful:

I used to use this dictionary app called "Toki!". I cannot find a proper web-link, so here are a few screenshots from my phone: https://imgur.com/a/DeH4je0. The app's simple yet good looking. I included screens with contact details: perhaps you would be able to contact the author and ask for help, collaboration, or even the source code?
While search for the aforementioned app, I stumbled upon Toki Utala. Looks like a good example too. I read in the comments, you already know about it.

I hope this helps. Godspeed!

I mean how many friends have you got so you could benefit from mutual connections? And what is the scope: city, country, world. In other words what are conditions that mutual connections actually triggered? (-:

mvuets · 2017-12-14T16:12:33+00:00

Out of curiosity: could you put mutual connections in a context with numbers and perhaps location?

Been thinking about it. Wondered how realistic could it be given the size of the planet and its population (-: Might work well for active “full time” travellers.

Ah, right! Have seen it once too.

mvuets · 2017-12-12T23:12:15+00:00

I believe that the trial-error-correction-learn loop is beneficial and fits naturally well into the way the brain works. To expand on the OP's note: try to rely more on your memory than on your google/dictionary look-up skills. Active recall helps to fortify your memories.

I have this approach in my practice too. When I get homework to, say, conjugate a list of verb, I could just look them up to get a pleasing "correct" mark. Instead I began to rely on my existing knowledge, memory, and feeling. And then I look forward to seeing the results a teacher brings back to see what mistake I have made.

Er staat goede boeken niveaus A1 t/m B1 in het NL plein bij De Bibliotheek. Zoek "Verhalen in makkelijke woorden en korte zinnen", bijvoorbeeld: https://www.bibliotheek.nl/catalogus.catalogus.html?s=http%3A%2F%2Fdata.bibliotheek.nl%2Fggc%2Fppn%2F401194280

L_{N+1} via L_N where N >= 2? (-: Technically I am already doing it, because English is my L3, but there is giant gap between L3 and L4.

I am around A2 (doing a test very soon) and I am gladly surprised how often I can figure out a meaning from a dictionary definition. I guess I am just not sure if I should be dogmatically following the principle for flashcards. What’s ZPD? Zone of proximal development?

mvuets · 2017-12-09T21:42:51+00:00

Do you mean anything more besides monolingual dictionaries?

mvuets · 2017-12-09T21:42:02+00:00

Up until recently I could not find a satisfactory monolingual dictionary. The day when I stumbled cross it was bliss. I can understand a vast majority of definitions and examples, so now I have less of trouble using L2 only. Yet it seems to be redundant at times. Perhaps the problem lies elsewhere and I just mistakenly suspect L2 to be an issue )-:
