I’m glad you like it! We decided to remove the level from the completion screen as it was getting too cluttered and we wanted users to focus on fewer things. To see your level and how far to your next level, just click on the coin in the header which takes yo u to the avatar store and shows this information.

The system forgets my chosen dictionaries. I have to select them again and again.
-
The text to audio does not work anymore after some time reading and working with the text. I have to refresh the page to make text to audio work again. I am using the latest Chrome for Mac.
-
The setting “Notifications - Forum - Send Email” is unchecked in my account, but I receive these emails (nearly one every minute…). How can I switch this off?
-
After signing up to a challenge, the page freezes.
Thank you for your help.
Just want to say, after moving to the latest version of Chrome on Windows, my experience with the new reader is much better, including linking phrases. I am actually liking it. The TTS function is particularly helpful with my new languages.
@mikebooks - Can you send a link to the lesson that is crashing? Also, if there is a specific action that crashes it. Does this happen on all lessons for you? Which browser and OS are you in?
Sorry, Leifa, I was confused. Yes, the traditional characters are available as a superscript now. We would like to come up with a full size solution for Traditional but that will have to wait until we have time to spend on it. Right now, this isn’t possible because the word lookup and saving functionality is tied to the full size text on the page.
- I haven’t had this issue in Chrome on Mac. Where is this happening? These preferences are saved in the browser so if you switch browsers or devices, you will have to set your dictionaries again. They are also specific to each language. I am trying to find out
- Are you sure it’s only the TTS that stops working? Is everything else on the page functioning properly including the lesson audio? Any more info you can provide here will help us try to reproduce the issue.
- That seems strange. It doesn’t seem like you have been sent anything in a few hours now. Did you turn something else off? What I suggest if you continue to get the emails, is to click the unsubscribe link in the email and unsubscribe from forum emails on the unsubscribe page that appears. Then, also, please let me know so I can try to figure out why the original setting didn’t work.
- That’s strange. Next time that happens can you check the Chrome developer console under View > Developer > DeveloperTools and send us any error details you see there? That will help us track things down. What is your interface language?
Re 2) Now the TTS works all the time.
Re 3) I removed the tick in the “Watch Thread” checkbox. Now no new mails.
Beginning within the last 60 minutes, I now see traditional characters above the Chinese text. I must switch them off manually.
Every time I reopen a Chinese lessons I see traditional characters, how can I switch this off permanently???
Fair play to you for responding…
Ability to bookmark locations…Woohoo a new feature!!
Paging - Yes I noticed this and it causes problems for me when listening to text and reading at the same time. New Feature - but I prefer the old way thank you…Glad I can change views back to the old view.
Selecting phrases - something I do anyway - if it looks better and helps people understand the old feature, good on them for improving on this.
Progress Bar - must have missed that, thought that was what my daily-weekly stats were for, to make sure I was pushing myself every day to try and meet the suggested targets in my chosen language.
So the entire seven months of hard work paid off and gave us these really great features. Why then do I wonder, as I wade through a poorly conceived comic strip cartoon fantasy created by “a team?” with an eye on a wet dream rather than improving the actual learning experience for it’s paying customers, encouraged by sycophants bowing at the alter of eye candy on almost every comment I see, what the LingQ team could have achieved if they had been actually looking at improving the learners experience.
My request is a decent set of lessons with good audio and reasonable translations in the core language sets? or maybe I am asking too much…The LingQ team seem to be too busy giving us glamour rather than substance.
Most of the stuff compiled by LingQ itself is laughable to the extreme. They seem to scrape together any old stuff and package it as good content. If it wasn’t for the main premise of LingQing and the ability to create my own lessons I wouldn’t be here. Love to share but it´s all copyrighted material (How I hate Hollywood and DRM and all that copyright shi** Stuff)
The only lessons of any use seem to be user created and the decent ones are far and few between in my chosen language, or maybe I should change my chosen language, maybe that would help?
It is funny to see me writing this kind of post because this is not something I usually do, I am not a negative person if truth be told, but I am finding it very hard to look a this update in any positive light and my frustration seems to be getting the better of me on this occasion.
Any more features us users want to highlight that I may have missed, the list so far is pretty sparse for 7 months work…
“Yes I noticed this and it causes problems for me when listening to text and reading at the same time.”
That was one of my main issues too, but if you get into the habit of toggling the sound with the space bar before and after you turn the page, it’s not so bad.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work!
So your suggesting that we work around the problems, rather than asking the providers of a service that your “presumably” paying for to change the system to your liking?
Oh by the way. I would like the feature to be able to add more than 2000 words to a lesson and the ability to add more than 60Mb of audio…“I think that is the limit” to my imported lesson…
You know something that will make an actual difference to me as a user…
Instead I get comic characters with an obvious eye problem and an apple!!!
No, not at all. I’m just offering up a solution that is working for me. In fact, the system seemed much faster today and there was no delay in switching pages, so I was able to listen to the audio and read at the same time without having to pause the audio when turning pages.
I am paying for the system, but I don’t think that gives me the right to demand that they cater to my every whim and fancy. Ultimately, they are the ones who are investing time and money into this. It belongs to them and it’s their prerogative to do with it what they will. I’ve no idea what their research is telling them. I’ve no idea what other users are asking them for.
What I do know is that you can’t possibly please everyone all of the time. So, if at some point I find myself among the folks who are no longer pleased, I will find somewhere else to be. That’s life. If I can figure out how to make the new system work for me, so much the better.
Cheers!
One thing I will say about the update is that I’m very glad you have chosen to let us switch to classic view. I really don’t like the ‘paging’, and would probably use LingQ a lot less if I was forced to use that format all the time. I much prefer being able to see the whole lesson on one page. Paging makes reading a lesson really clunky!
I don’t see the possibility to switch to the classic view. Where can I do this?
I agree. Mark explained that they used eBook readers as a role model for this, but that is what I dislike the most on eReaders. On my smarthphone I have a reader that allows me to choose between paging and scroling.
I worry how long we will have classic view.

I see, Vera was faster 
I guess the new view is fine for very short (beginner) text. And maybe the new reader is easier for new members. But for long texts I like classic more.
