@conan
There is one already.
I think they meant getting a badge for losing a 100+ day streak.
Ohh
Haha yeah, I meant missing a day to lose the streak xD High risk high reward
Here is another batch of grammar points where it should be worth mentioning the kanji spelling—I have tried to filter out any auxiliaries
- (て・ないで)下さい
- 沢山
- 上げる
- 未だ(〜ていません)
- 呉れる
- 貰う
Done
You could compile this list into a path, called “essentials” or something along those lines.
@Pushindawood Can we have a way to star/bookmark grammar points (with a page to view them all of course)? I’d like to be able to mark a grammar point as “want to learn later” so I don’t have to keep a separate list. Usually these grammar points consist of stuff I encounter when reading, but don’t have the time to go through the lesson that moment.
When I review usually I complete always the same sentences. Since there are many examples, it will be nice to have every time a different sentence to complete / verb to coniugate / etc. maybe with increasing difficulty too.
You will only get the same sentences if you have got that sentence wrong on a previous occasion. These are the ghost reviews. As time goes on you will get the new sentences coming into your reviews, and these will contribute towards your XP.

Hey and welcome on community forums!
Like @matt_in_mito says, sentences repeat only in ghost mode (basically, when you make a mistake the sentence will reappear until you get it ). Other than that, every time the sentence should be different.
By the way, in settings, you can turn off ghost mode, or set it on minimal. That way you will see different sentences all the time (or more often when on minimal).
On site: Click on profile picture -> settings -> ghost reviews -> On/Off/Minimal.
Cheers,
Beyond what @matt_in_mito, if you started with N5, then for the first few lessons a lot of the sentences are fairly similar, using the same verbs and such, but as you learn more N5 and get towards the later lessons that isn’t true anymore. I’m currently early in N4, and I can truthfully say that most sentences are fairly different in vocab and also using different parts of previous learned grammar (beyond what the actual grammar point is teaching). Only very narrow grammar points might have very similar example sentences for that point.
This is mostly a function of only writing sentences building on previous grammar studied (if following the BP path). Why they use a lot of the same vocabulary I can’t say, but I think it is good early on because then BP can be used by beginners without overwhelming them with so many different words that they become a hinder to learning the grammar. I certainly was very thankful for it.
@mrnoone @matt_in_mito @MissDagger thank you for all your replies. Actually, I think I didn’t explained very well. I understood the point of the ghost mode and I really like it. My clarification was about sentences that I know, I always do correctly, but still I always see them in the review.
For example, I always have the sentence “There is paper”. I don’t mind repeating the structure of “there is” but I would rather be challenged with other sentences (e.g. there is a car, or there is an house), but I always find “there is paper”.
It would be nice if there was a button on a grammar page for marking the grammar point as known before you click Add to Reviews
. With this you could save two clicks (since there’d be no need to prompt you to confirm either).
Regarding adding kanji to あげる’s page, don’t forget that there is also 挙げる along with 上げる
Also, since you brought up 未だ (まだ), I don’t think it’s on 文プロ but there is also 未だに, which reads as いまだに and means “even now,” or “until this very day.” Thought that was interesting, since the only difference in writing is an additional okurigana, but it sneaks an extra kana into the kanji’s reading
On the feedback page it would be nice if any feedback that have gotten a new reply shifts to the top. I just now went through and liked all replies to my feedback so I can easily see where a new reply have appeared (aka it isn’t liked), but it would be easier if that feedback just shifted to the top or gave some other indication that the new reply is there (perhaps highlight it in some way, another background color on the reply, etc.)
Please add ちなみに to the grammar points! It’s so simple yet so useful. I think I use it every day!
Added to the list
Perhaps I’ve missed the option somewhere, but it’d be really nice to be able to adjust frequency of reviews. Specifically, if I could have it calculate reviews only in terms of days, and not hours, I’d be super happy. There’s nothing quite as depressing as reviewing for an hour and a half and see Bunpro proudly display 20 new reviews in the next hour. I just often feel rushed, like I can’t ever keep up with how many reviews Bunpro wants me to cover.
