If you have any comments or notice anything odd in SSi Spanish in the latest app, here’s the place to let us know.

How do I go about reporting errors in the Spanish course? A couple of times I have noticed that, when a new word is introduced, the (Spanish) example is different to what it should be, E.G. I’ve just been told that “I’m trying to” is, in Spanish, “se dice trantando de” ( Male voice only and spoken correctly when we have spoken our answer) Also the female response to “those” is a really drawn out “Soooooooon”

I can’t give a timestamp obviously

I’ve just created this SSi Spanish thread for those of you using the latest version of the Spanish course in the new app, and moved your comment here, @Tony_Davis.

Something to check @Novem :slight_smile:

Thanks Tony!

We’ve found a fix for this in more recent courses so I might just regenerate a bunch of the audio for Spanish with the new method…!

Hi Deborah,

I had the app reset itself again. In the hope of getting back to where I was I skipped ahead as much as I could as I didn’t want to start at the beginning for a 3rd time. The problem is now the gap between Aran and the native speakers is so short it is impossible to get the words out. I have tried the rewind button to rectify this but it’s not helped. Could this be looked into ASAP please?

I’ve passed that information through to the Tech Team to see if something can be done to help. In the meantime, all I can suggest is that you make use of the Pause feature until you become more familiar with the material and you’re able to get it out quickly enough.

Hi @gregnando

There are quite a few improvements coming down the line and are fairly imminent - 18 in fact - I happen to know as I have just approved the build. It is in the review process with the Stores at present.

This will likely be made available on Monday morning so that we can make sure that the new versions of everything can go out at the same time and we are around for support.

The new version of the App switches to a pointer system -which keeps a record of your latest progress - and will always start with that. After that it will attempt to complete some gaps, if there are any; these are created due to stopping part way through an item and re-starting at the beginning of the next. Finally it will do some revision.

The thing that gives the impression of going backwards is the App trying to complete the gaps first - as it does now - hence the order change above. Skip does not alter whether the item is considered ‘done’ but does move you forward and increases the speed.

Logging off and logging on will clear the Speed setting. The current version of the App will present the gaps to you when you log on…so you’d need to be prepared for that. :grin: But knocking them down will mean they are done as far as the App is concerned.

The new version will take you to your latest content first.

The team doing Japanuary have been testing the latest version and feel it is a big improvement…and continuous improvement is our objective.

Thanks for your patience - apologies if this is a longer answer than you were expecting! :grin:…and…

Thanks for you help - it’s the feedback here that allows us to fix things.
