in the breakdown of the rewards you write things like "enough app usage for fluency in a level 1,2 or 3 level language. How are you defining fluency? that's the ability to order a pizza/ taxi or actually sit down and be able to speak for hours with people on a broad range of topics? also you write that based on your experiences 30 - 45 mins learning a day can take you to fluency in a level 1 language, for example, in 6 months; was that time spent purely reviewing cards or that included the creation of cards? if the latter then presumably, given the often tedious amount of work involved in creating cards - which hopefully this app is going to completely remove, that time would be much lower - like 15 - 30 mins a day? i presume that one is going to be able to copy in text and have translations and pics supplied through the various resources the app is going to be drawing on? that it's not just going to be available for the vocab lists provided? it's most probable that stretch goals like the addition of monolingual dictionaries aren't going to be reached (though we live in hope). In this event how likely is it that you're going to be able to get these missed stretch goals in asap? (are they really going to cost that much more for each addition? that's crazy). also how data hungry is this likely to be? ie if i'm not connected to wifi but rather on mobile data is it going to use up loads of data with all the searches and downloading content like pictures? how is the offline mode going to work? firstly is that included as part of the main product and not a stretch goal? secondly, how much is it going to cache? would i, for example, be able to cache enough material for a 45 min train journey with no internet? is there going to be a function whereby i can just copy in lots of text (like with supermemo's incremental reading) which i can then come back to later (would this also have translations, pics etc cached for offline mode?)? is going to be possible to have these blocks of text separate onto different cards automatically - ie if i copy in a block of text that is 10 sentences long then can it automatically create 10 separate sentences that will be sitting in a queue waiting for me to get to them? i think that's about everything for now :-) Thanks for this! big fan of fluent forever. it has been a massive help and i can't wait to see the process become exceptionally streamlined and portable. i've donated and spread the word. lets hope it picks up massively!! :-D
