Faulty Flashcards for Lesson 1.13 Chores & Basic Commands.

Question

In Lesson 1.13 Chores & Basic Commands, the flashcard set seems to be missing a lot of the pictures and audio. Is everyone having the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

I just ran through them and the only one that does not work for me is cortar el césped. When I run through a set, there is usually one or two that the audio does not work on. I try to remember what they are and when I get a silent question, I try one of those answers. I found the pictures all worked fine.

Yah. That's the one solution to be had. Remembering the corrections on 'wrong answers'. Otherwise,throw in the guess. :D - Nise, Jul 27, 2010

Answer 2

There are two or three lessons out of 60 that have **two* words with no audio.

But here is the key to that: Once you go through the "Listen section", if you click the "Retry Listen" button, they appear in the same order that they did the first time. They will continue to come up in this order as long as you keep the Listen Section open.

So if there are two words with no audio, go through the first time and make a note that the first time there is silence, it's word A, and the second time, it's word B.

That will help you get it right, and it probably imprints those words in your mind as well as anything.

Answer 3

Oh! Seeing as you mention it. I did come across this problem, at a couple of the sections in lesson one. But I don't remember specifically which lessons this happened in. Mind you, I think it was just a couple of words that slipped by.. and I didn't feel lost about it. I'm hoping that it won't be a continuous matter, and of a more major 'skipping' of words/pictures in later sections. //

Sorry to hear about your situation. Sounds like more than one or two words skipped you by.

I think you will notice an editing on your question by a member (Heidita) who I believe has just redirected your question to the right category of the Questions/Answer forum -to the 'website questions and feedback' . (Note that there are separate categories in the Answers area for your choosing/) This will be a good start to your question finding the right ears. (Admin).

Hopefully having the question in this section will be the way to go about it. I think that the administrators come by here. If not, then you might try getting to them through the 'feedback' ( The very bottom of your screen, in grey lettering.)

I will keep an ear for admin answers myself, as I may encounter the problem again, later on. Bienvenida y todo lo mejor para ti. (I hope that's said right! :D)

p.s. What I did was throw in a guess, which actually worked a couple out of three times! Otherwise, not so bad if your not stringent on yourself with getting the 100 percent mark. - Nise, Jul 27, 2010

Answer 4

Yes, the above answers are correct, but it is oh so irksome to try to be "perfect" only to be thwarted by a test that "cheats" Oh, the little frustrations of life. There are also a couple of answers on the flashcards that are out and out wrong. But you have to type in the wrong answer or that, too, will be counted "against" you.

So, my best advice is to tell the administrators about it and then just take it in stride. No one's perfect, even TPTB at SpanishDict. It's a small price to pay for a free education!
