That would be helpful. I would prefer these four nuance hints:
Casual grammar
Formal grammar
Casual form
Polite form

This has probably been said but,
-JLPT
-Automatic audio for the review cards!!
What about the JLPT?
- Search feature in the grammar tab.
- Make it so we get different sentences in our reviews, sometimes I don’t recall the particle but rather the sentence and then the particle.
- The option to select which items I want to cram, say I have difficulty remembering all the ta and te forms, I don’t want to cram a bunch of はs to get to them. (or create dozens of self study reviews by copy pasting items that already exist on the site and not have audio that already exists in them.)
- This might take a long time to make, but I would LOVE an srs system that asks you to build an entire sentence, not just fill in the missing particle, it would certainly make me stop looking elsewhere for places to truly practice what I’ve learned here.
That’s all I can think of atm, I believe that last one will take the site to a whole new level and you already have a lot of sentences and audio and an srs system in place, all a matter of changing it from a few characters to an entire sentence.

@loladae Hey! Are you studying for the JLPT? Bunpro’s Lessons page has all of it’s grammar points organized by JLPT level. By “automatic audio,” do you mean “autoplay?” If so, this is already an option in Settings. Just turn Audio Autoplay to “on.” Cheers!
If you click on the Grammar dropdown in the navbar and click All Grammar, you will be directed to a page that displays all grammar with a search option. We would like to set up a search option that resides within the navbar itself in the near future.
Bunpro’s review questions change as you progress and are written in a way that build upon previously studied grammar, presenting you with a new and unique context in every study session. This means that, as you advance through your studies, you get more and more exposure to the grammar that you have learned.
This is up there on our to-do list. Stay tuned!
While this would be an awesome feature to have, the sheer amount of variables that would need to be accounted for, even for simple sentences, would make implementing a feature like this very difficult. We already have grammar points that require that we “catch” five or more other grammar points because they are either interchangeable or could work in a given context. Having to account for multiple particles, verbs, adjectives, not to mention different interpretations of the English translation, would be a tremendous undertaking and would take quite some time to make a reality. Cheers!

Check out the message board on BP (see below). WK Japanese only boards are also really good too. Or you can find a native partner or tutor…I believe this is best as this is real world application (not srs practice toward application). Plus it’s far more fun and fulling to use your own creative thoughts.

Hmmm, not sure how I did that. Thought I copied the general link.
It’s a lovely message posting though and wonderful example of how everyone helps each other out by

I think this grammar point from “A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar” would be a good one to add.

I don’t know if this has been discussed before, but I would like to request that polite and casual forms of verbs get their own lessons. Benefits:
- Less information overload
- You get more reviews of both (since it’s now one lesson, the review pool is shared)
- At least for Genki it will more closely follow the book since it splits those as well (as does Japanese from Zero and I suspect other books as well)

This link would be good for the ころ and とき grammar points to explain the differences between them:

Thanks for the suggestion. That would be ideal, also pretty tough to implement at this stage. I like to think we have a decent balance of polite and casual for the N5 grammar points’ review sentences. If we can come up with a good way to do it (that doesn’t involve adding a bunch more grammar points to N5), we could consider it!

Grammar point for V-ないです and contrast it with V-ません

I know there’s only one batch of lessons so far for N1, but it would still be nice to have the ability to Cram them.
(Doesn’t have to be right away, just thinking about the near future when I’ll want to use this. 
)
Also you might want to change the wording on the statistics page to say “April 24th, 2018” to prevent confusion.

I was thinking we might as well just delete that line altogether; it stands out an awful lot to clarify such an insignificant thing (at this point in time)

This video starting at 27:48 should be added to the んだけど・んですが grammar point.
Also some sentences fitting the “introductory information んだけど important information” form used in the video.

Misa’s videos on passive and causitive forms should be added to the Passive Verb and Causitive Verb grammar points:
This link was very helpful in understanding the difference between ている and ているところ
