Problems with ''Greetings'' flashcards

Well, my work day has slowed down and I'm now bored. So, I was trying to get some learning points in and noticed a problem with the Greetings/Saludos flashcards. In the recall section when you have to type the response, it's impossible (at the moment) to decipher which point you put "mucho gusto" and "igualmente" because the phrase continues into "la-la land" (the end is hidden). downer This mystery will definently stump learners, and Greetings is one of the first flashcards that pops up. So whenever a moderator/ admin has a moment to go in and reformat the flashcards, it would be greatly appreciated. grin

Also, just a suggestion, if there is anyway to adjust timing on the longer words, for instance when you have to type in ¿cómo está? with all the accents and have about a 1.5 seconds before you score is murdered even though you know it all already, that would be a miraculous improvement. tongue wink

You're right, the character limit on the flashcards can be tricky raspberry. I end up doing them twice and memorising which one comes first if something like this happens red face.

The time limit has been discussed before, I don't think it's really a problem, just concentrate on getting the answers right. If you're a slow typist set yourself your own achievable goals rather than going for a perfect score. Your score doesn't really matter raspberry.

"Your score doesn't matter.' Your score doesn't matter. O.K now I'm freaking out . All these hours and my score doesn't really matter? Why then am I doing it? Oh yes, to learn. Now I'm alright. Honestly, being a slow typist, this bothered me at first, but I'm here to learn. Not get the high score.Jen is right I've had to set my own lower standards.(It took me eight minutes to type this by the way).

rofl.... ehh... but when your doing flashcards of basic words you already know. it shows how you're at a disadvantage. that's what i'm getting at... if I was trying to learn something new, then I wouldn't care, I was just doing some catching up... - DJ_Huero, May 13, 2011
