Regarding the user interface of some of the exercises (clicking or not?)
Loved Spanish 1-3 so far and currently working on Spanish 4, session 7. While doing spanish 1,2,3 (and french 1,2,3,4,5), for the three types of exercises in which I have to dictate what I hear ("Write the words you hear", "Write the phrase you hear", "Type the conversation"), I remember I had to click the "play" icon or press F3 key each time to play the words or phrases. Not that I didn't like that system, but in spanish 4 I noticed a slightly diffrent system; without clicking the icon or pressing F3, what I have to type next is automatically played right after I type in one correct answer. I'm not sure this has been the improvement in the recent updates or a feature limited to Spanish 4 and beyond; but I find this more helpful because, this rather more challanging system keeps me more concentrated and attentive. It would be even better if you guys could allow us to toggle between "automatic play"mode vs. "play on clicking play icon or pressing F3" mode (just like toggling music on/music off or challange mode on / off ), for although being more concentrated is more helpful in general, being more relaxed and taking time could be of help when reviewing particularly tricky sessions.
