Hi, I’m relatively new to Bunpro, still on the trial, but what really irritated me (and still does to some extent) is that when I enter a wrong answer, Bunpro helpfully shows me more wrong answers alongside my own wrong answer.
Apparently, what I should do is press “Show answer” to see the right answer…
Why? And why isn’t there even an option to automatically show the right answer?
Can you clarify, what do you mean that it shows you additional wrong answers? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.
There is an option to automatically show the right answer, though maybe not exactly what you’re looking for. You can go to the review settings and enable “Auto-expand info,” which will show you the lesson form of the correct answer underneath the review exercise as soon as you submit a response.
I don’t think there’s an option to automatically replace your incorrect answer with the correct answer. (Most likely they did this so that you can see what your mistake was!)
Yes, I mean when for example you are asked to enter a semi-polite answer, it’ll show you the standard form above and the polite form below. They are incorrect in the sense that they are not what you should enter in this context.
Ohh I think I know what you’re talking about. Like this? Not wrong in the sense that all of these mean “I don’t eat sushi,” but rather wrong in the sense that the question specified a specific one of the 3 possible translations of that sentence.
I can’t answer why the Bunpro team wrote the conjugation lessons this way (I’m not sure who to tag - @JamesBunpro maybe?). Maybe some learners find it helpful to see where their answer should be situated on the casual to politeness spectrum? It should only affect the conjugation lessons though, I don’t think any other grammar points have 3 different options shown in the example itself.
The Bunpro review answers always appear the same way they are shown in the actual lesson. So when you study it from the lesson page and scroll to the examples, it will look exactly the same as above, with all 3 tiers in each item. I agree in this case it probably isn’t needed to see those when you submit the answer though, and might be more confusing than it is helpful.
To be clear, I don’t mind seeing the different forms, but I do mind not seeing the correct answer at a first glance.
Even the “auto-expand info” is only for when you get it correct, not when you get it wrong, which feels like it’s been designed completely the wrong way around.
