As promised I went through all of Japanese 3 as a review while noting errors -
Level 36 ‘to go out for dinner’ the second half of the written text is different than the audio Level 39 ‘cirlce; yen’ is a typo Level 46 ‘What will the others do this afternoon?’ the text ends in maska while the audio ends in deska. Level 32 ‘travel’ and Level 54 ‘trip’ - is ri to start each word silent? I don’t hear it in the audio for either.
There was one item I had noticed previously where the audio was completely different from the text but I didn’t find it this time so perhaps it’s already been fixed. If I come across it again I’ll let you know.
On another subject, I haven’t been able to try the ‘Meet The Natives’ mode yet despite being a Pro member. When I attempt to open them in Japanese 1/2/3 I receive either of the following messages -
I hope that’s helpful. I’m eagerly awaiting Japanese 4 and wish you well making progress towards releasing it. If you want to drop any hints about some of the topics it covers I’m very curious and am all ears
I just did a bug report about the Meet the Natives issue. I was thinking it was because I was new to the course but if it doesn’t show up in the first 3 Courses at all then something is wrong.
Sorry if it has been already discussed. I am sure it has been. I am starting the japanese Course. Is it supposed to be written in hiragana s well? I tried several time to translate “What’s up” with the romaji “chiyoushi wa dou” but it does not accept it. I have to copy and the paste the thereabove hiragana. But, for the monet, onlly for that screenshot. Is it normal or is it a bug? Do I have to install IME to proceed? Also, I can’t hear sound question. I’ll be very grateful if somebody can answer. Have a great day.
hi @amedeocastagna
I don’t know why, but “what’s up” accepts “choushiwadou” as an answer. Which is kinda confusing as later word “condition” excepts only “chiyoushi”
I get the same - it happened after the major incident the other week. iPad app course Japanese 2 says 454 words total but web course has 455 words. iPad shows course complete, web shows 1 word to go which you can’t get at
I mentioned it in my comment above, but Meet The Natives is still malfunctioning for myself and at least one other user.
I also found the item I mentioned where the audio is completely incorrect. In Level 21 the entry for ‘hug me’ in the female voice plays the audio for ‘my mum also wants a watch’.
Apologies for late reply. Thank you for sending the list of errors. It’s very helpful to get feedback from users who got really far already.
Level 36: removed wrong audio, and will be uploading correct one.
Level 39: This was corrected about a couple of months ago… I checked and it looks right. Can you try logging out and then back in?
Level 46: corrected.
Level 32/54: word ‘ryokou’. The RY is not silent. As a native speaker, it never occurred to me that the ry sound was difficult to hear… I guess the KOU bit has a bigger stress.
We are looking into the issues with Meet the Natives ASAP. Thanks for your patience meanwhile!
Japanese 4 will kick off with more context-specific greetings, and will go on to talk about fixed expressions as well as some common idioms
I am aware of how to ignore exercises. The problem is if I ignore those I won’t get the actual hiragana practice that I want. That exercise is of no use because it isn’t giving us the hiragana with the sound.
Can you try logging out and logging back in for me? I found this item in database but the audio seem to match the item. I can’t find where the issues lies.
Unfortunately, for the time being we’re not considering having JLPT courses as publishing Japanese 4-7 ASAP is the top priority. But since Japanese has been so popular (Thanks to you guys!) the long-term plan is to have some sort of course, not sure yet in what format, where people who finished all 7 Japanese courses can continue with their journey.
