Hi @Lien can you please contact the course creator @rainerdefender? I would like to suggest some improvements. Thank you

Sure, I pinged him/her and email and invited them to this conversation. Hopefully weāll hear back soon!
Hi, I was a little surprised to receive the message by you, Lien. In the past Iāve gotten comments on the course directly. Has something changed and is working differently now?
Anyways, @hensejo , Iāve mostly switched to more informal ways of learning and donāt check back here that often anymore. If youāre interested in any bigger changes to the course Iām happy to give you editing permission. Smaller stuff, just shoot and Iāll try to implement it.

P.S.: Lien, is there any chance your engineering team could implement HTML5 audio recording and have it āgracefully downgradeā (theyāll understand that term) to the Flash audio recording currently used? Like many, I already have Flash disabled for security reasons and as your engineers will know, major browsers are now starting to disable it by default.
(Itās the difference between me now going to the garden to do some earth moving there or me recording some new audios which I wanted to do originally but now canāt be bothered to do because it would involve messing with the computer to get Flash working again, then record the audios, then disable Flash once more, which is just too much of a hassle.)

Thanks a lot. Iāll make some notes and send you the small changes. The course is already on a very high level.

Hi, I noticed an error in this course, can I report that here?
In level 3 (Stadt, Flughafen (K) - 103/129) if you click on Ł
ŁŁŲŖŲØŲ© (Bibliothek) you hear the wrong word, namely Ų®Ų²Ų§ŁŲ© (Schrank)
Could this be fixed?
Iām not sure where else to make a comment like this, hopefully this is the right forumā¦
Thanks in advance!
Hi Lurch, this here is the place, yes. Iām just not actively studying or teaching Arabic at the moment, so not working on this course either.
And hi again, @Lurch! Unfortunately I donāt have the original files spoken by Zakariya, whoās a native speaker, around anymore. So Iāve recorded myself, which I hope will do.
Iāve also added you as a Contributor should you wish to make corrections to the course yourself.
@Lien, have you been able to check back with the engineering team about implementing HTML5-based audio recording in the webapp? Itās gotten to a point where itās quite ridiculous to have it be Flash-based only, with now pretty much all major browsers having started to eschew Flash openly. I did try to get it to work for half an hour before giving up and doing the recording in Audacity. Please, pwetty pwease, talk to them again if youāre allowed to do so at all!
@rainerdefender Thanks a lot for the updated audio file!
I would really appreciate being made a contributor - although so far everything else seems to be fine, perhaps Iāll come across something as I work through the course. Does it take a while before my status updates?
Anyway, thanks again for the changed audio, it sounds fine to me
Sure thing! You were definitely in the list already, but to be sure I re-added you just now. The full list of contributors is now:
vko
Linguophila
ŁŁŁŲ²Ų§
katscha
Lurch
Only two of these (Linguophila, Lurch) get recognized by the forum software when I type an ā@ā in front of their names. @Lien, could you take a look whether Iāve added them all properly? Also, is it correct that even after 2+ (?) years Iām still regarded by the system as a ānewā user?
Cheers,
Jonathan
@rainerdefender
I think you might have added the wrong Lurch to the contributor list then, since I donāt have the option to change anything yet, Iām Lurch with a dot at the end (Lurch.), could you check? Thanks in advance
Ahaaa! That explains things. Canāt be seen from your name here by the way. Iāve added āLurch.ā now. Does it work?
