Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

Feature Request: allow batch sizes of 1 and 2.

Right now the minimum is three, and for someone that struggles with memorising new grammar points, I’d love to tackle fewer at once. 1 a day would be ideal. 3 seems too much for my poor brain to handle!

It’d be real neat to have a button that’d let me look at the previous question. I have bunny mode on, which is usually fine, but sometimes I find I’ve entered the answer and moved on before really reading the whole question. Since I often try to stretch myself on such questions, by quickly coming up with a another sentence for it or whatever, it’d be real handy to be able to retroactively take a peek. Failing that, having a link to open the relevant grammar point for the previous question would also be fine. :slight_smile:

Maybe I’m just not seeing it so if it’s already there please direct me but I was wondering if it would be possible to add a jlpt level to the grammar that your studying when doing the various paths (Tobira, Genki, etc). Really just so you could keep up with where each one fell. Thanks for all you guys do!

At some point in the beginning Bunpro had a “back” button to go to the previous question. I really liked that feature but maybe they
had to discontinue with that when the site got more complex. I would appreciate it if they tried to implement that button again.

I suggested this before as well. Hopefully they add this at some point.

On trickier grammar points, shouldn’t the 硬 label be 難 instead? 硬 is a physical property of a もの, not a こと.

硬 (硬い) here refers to the grammar point being formal or used primarily in writing.

Oh, didn’t those used to be marked with a pencil? I remember icons of people speaking to denote primarily used in spoken language, is that not a thing anymore?

Can’t say I remember seeing either of those icons, sorry.

Going through 完全マスターN2 and I have some suggestions for additional additional grammar points:

~はさておき
~ばかりか
~に限って (Add the meanings of “~ is exceptionally different than usual” and "I especially don’t believe that~”, probably should be extra grammar points)
~限りでは
~てこのかた (could be paired with て以来 since it doesn’t make a distinction in the book)

~うちに (I think it the “while doing this, this happened” should be a separate grammar point than the “you should do this while ~ is the case” nuance because I’ve gotten tripped up on that before.)

I think the structure should be updated to show that も is not always attached with nouns. Especially like this case where there is already another particle を。

For some reason there is no audio although I have audio autoplay on. I do use bunny and focus mode in case that matters. It would be great to hear the audio both when I write the correct answer or the incorrect one.

Thank you,
Alex

It’s a feature not a bug.

Seems that activating the bunny mode overrides the “audio autoplay on” setting. For me it makes more sense to be the other way around. If you want autoplay it should apply to all modes (if you don’t want audio autoplay you can just turn it off). This would also be consistent with lighting mode in Wanikani.

Anyhow, it would be great if it woud be possible to have audio autoplay also in bunny mode.

Cheers

It doesn’t seem very “bunny mode” to wait for audio to play. Not that I care since I don’t use auto play or bunny mode. :man_shrugging:

I found out (by getting some review questions wrong) that I was getting mixed up between the grammar points について、にとって、にかんして、にたいして. Two amazing articles were elucidating: this and this. Maybe it would make sense to refer to them in the “Readings” ?

Would a multiple choice feature be possible in the future? to further simulate JLPT and help us tell apart similar grammar.

Would love a way to see if I’ve done my reviews for the day. I started up a new streak and was feeling pumped about it until I missed one day because I thought I already did my reviews for the day. :frowning: Maybe a different color for the number under “Study Streak” or something else? Just something simple to notify me so I can easily tell. :slight_smile:

@aexencov The reason autoplay doesn’t work in bunny mode is because when it jumps to the next review, it cuts off the audio. Like @seanblue mentioned, waiting for the audio would slow you down. It is something I can look into but I can’t guarantee anything.

@blossom There is definitely benefits to be had from simulated JLPT reviews using multiple choice. It falls outside of our immediate goals, but would be something we can look to add down the road, maybe as a separate review mode.

Good idea! I will add that in when I rework the streak to use timezones.

The grammar points なくはない and ないことはない are extremely similar in nature and often I mistake one for the other during reviews. I think they should either be alternatives to each other or there should be a better hint about which one the review is asking for.
