Answer Question
Help! Inconsistencies in Spanish (LA)
First, let me say that I'm a huge fan of this program. In my career as a Learning Architect, I spent several years researching learning and how the brain works, and this program clearly relies on some of the best recent findings. I looked at 6 or 7 other programs before I chose Fluenz, and I've never regretted that decision.
That said, I'm really struggling with some inconsistencies in levels 3 and 4. Levels 1 and 2 were fine, and I haven't begun level 5 yet. But let me list a few of the issues I've found:
One really good change after Level 2 was getting rid of the guy with the fake-deep, drooling psycho voice.
Thanks for creating a program with such high standards that the only faults are these minor issues.
That said, I'm really struggling with some inconsistencies in levels 3 and 4. Levels 1 and 2 were fine, and I haven't begun level 5 yet. But let me list a few of the issues I've found:
- Sometimes, "de todas partes" is correct. Sometimes it's "en todas partes" and sometimes it's "a todas partes." There should be a clear explanation, or, if all of these choices are correct, then they shouldn't be marked wrong when you type one or the other.
- Sometimes it's "Cataratas del Iguazú" and sometimes "Cataratas de Iguazú." Again, if both are correct, then don't mark one or the other wrong.
- There are typos or misspellings in these levels that never occurred in earlier levels. For example, "everyboy" when it should have said "everybody."
- Not an inconsistency, but the use of medium brown as a background in the "Write the phrase you hear" is a horrible choice. There is very little contrast with the black type, and it's impossible to see if you have even the slightest visual impairment.
