Minor Disappointment
Just started SP/LA Level 4. Was mildly disappointed to see that all of the background artwork for the new level was the same as for Level 3. Since it had changed going from 1 to 2, and 2 to 3, I assumed there would be different artwork for each level. I know this is a minor gripe, but somehow the anticipation of seeing some new views of the Spanish speaking World had become part of my internal motivation to progress from Level to level. I think that part of the allure of Fluenz for me has been the beautiful, artistic way in which it has been crafted. For example, in the Word-Photo Association Exercises, I love the photos, and the fact that different ones are used for the same word throughout the program. I think the whole learning process is helped when all the senses are involved, including the visual. On some psychological level, seeing the same artwork on Level 4, I somehow feel that I am still on Level 3, that I have not really advanced to a new and exciting plateau. Perhaps you could consider this idea when you are discussing ways to better motivate us learners. All that said, I very much love Fluenz, and am very much looking forward to what you have in store for me as I progress through the last two levels.
