I think it needs to be more addictive still, possibly in a visual sense, or by varying the lesson structures more. I seem to have hit a wall!

Good question. I once got stuck on a tricky sentence, submitted my crappy translation anyway, and then mine got voted the 'best'. I felt terrible about that as I could tell it was wrong...Would that have made it through?

I don't agree, it introduces grammatical concepts bit by bit. It goes way beyond lists of vocab and tourist language. Actually, I think it would be great if it added more 'lists' of vocab to learn as an add-on to the units that already exist. So you could choose extra, more specialist lists of vocabulary relevant to a hobby or employment sector, or even draw up your own lists which the site would help you to memorize using its existing structures.

My Facebook friend Trevor posted up this image of him onstage at a Clash gig in Hamburg in 1980/81. He says the crowd got a bit bolshie and stole the mic so he went to try and retrieve it. http://i.imgur.com/7o5x12H.png
