Hello all! I LOVE Say Something in Welsh but I am reaching a point in the app where I find it SO frustrating and I need some help.
I just reached the purple level so I have come pretty far but about midway through the blue I started finding that new complete and complicated phrases were being introduced that I needed to go back and review. These new phrases are not being repeated over and over again with other simple words that we already know, as the app did in earlier lessons. Instead it seems like I am introduced to a complicated phrase, and then 2 or 3 more in direct succession without the time to really drill them into my head.
When I try to rewind it does not go back in a linear way. It will review SOME of what I have recently learned but then in the middle of that review it starts talking about a phrase that I have never heard. This is super frustrating. I am trying to practice the thing I did not quite get and it is adding something new as if I had already been taught that phrase.
I know the concept is to just keep moving forward but with more and more complicated phrases, and the way the app jumps around sometimes that just does not feel like it works for me.
I would really like to be able to see where I am in the material and review certain phrases I found challenging or at least just go back in a linear way as far as I want and repeat exactly what came before. Just hitting the rewind button does not do that, as stated above.
Also when I stop the program and start again at a later date it does not seem to pick up where I left off and often we are in the middle of a new concept.
When i am given a phrase like “I shouldn’t ask my father if he likes to do the same thing as your father does” when I am not yet solid on how to say “should” or “shouldn’t” or “my father” or “your father” or “the same thing” it just makes me want to give up.
Help! thanks!
Do you have the latest version of the app? We very recently altered the Revisit so that it does take you back one Introduction at a time. That allows you to use it multiple times and move yourself back in the course, then repeat the material.
We’re also working on adding more navigation into the app, but that’s still in development.
I find with my Android phone, that it doesn’t always notify me there’s a new version. If you have Android, go into the PlayStore and search for SaySomethingin again. It will then show you if there is an update available for you.
If you use iPhone, I presume it would be something similar.
With the starting point, it does tend to start at the next Introduction, but should then give you practice of material you’ve covered recently. With the new Revisit, if you’re not ready for the next Introduction, you can just go back to the previous one and get some more practice before moving on.
Hi there- thank you so much for the response. I will download the latest version and see how that goes. Sounds like it will help!
