When someone has the time, would they please consider making updates to the portions of lesson text that I refer to below?

Story 6

The first part of Question 7 is merged with the previous sentence, specifically:

Jana nimmt ein heißes Bad. 7) Max geht duschen und putzt sich die Zähne.

Story 33

The first part of Story B is merged with the previous sentence, specifically:

Er hatte versucht Notizen über den Unterricht zu machen, aber dann merkte Erich, dass er auch einen Stift vergessen hatte. B) Dies ist die Geschichte von Erich in der Vorlesung, erzählt von Erich.

Also, the word “Fragen:” is merged with the previous sentence, specifically:

Ich habe versucht Notizen über den Unterricht zu machen, aber dann merkte ich, dass ich auch einen Stift vergessen habe. Fragen:

Story 38

The first part of Question A is merged with the previous sentence, specifically:

Versuche Sie mit mir zu beantworten oder höre sie einfach an. A) 1) Jennifer und Sascha waren auf dem Gymnasium Freunde gewesen.

Story 43

The first part of Story B is merged with the previous sentence, specifically:

Er hat nicht viel Freizeit an den Abenden und er hat gar keine Freizeit an Montagen. Er hat immerhin keine Unterrichtsstunden an den Wochenenden, so dass er ein bisschen Zeit hat dann seine Freunde zu treffen. Auch wenn er noch ein bisschen Zeit für sich selbst hat, die meiste Zeit wird zum Lernen bestimmt sein. B)

Story 47

The first part of Story B is merged with the previous sentence, specifically:

Sie könnte auch wieder einen neuen Job suchen, aber insgesamt denkt sie, dass es besser wäre, bei diesem Job zu bleiben. B) Ich habe letztes Jahr eine neue Arbeit angefangen.

Story 52

The opening statement for the question section is at the very end of the lesson instead of before the questions, specifically:

Als nächstes werde ich einige Fragen zur Geschichte lesen.
Du kannst sie gemeinsam mit mir beantworten oder einfach zuhören.

I assume you are talking about the recording itself? Those drive me nuts. I think the only fix is for them to be re-recorded. I assume the person who recorded them originally sent in the recordings and so there may be no editing the “merging”. Which is really an overlap in most cases.

The fellow they had do the missing mini-stories did a really nice recording on his. I had asked a long time back if maybe they could re-record with him. That would probably be the best bet at this stage if they can do it.

Although the section of audio where there is overlapping is unfortunate, the edits I mention are actually in the text. The gentlemen’s recording you refer to is very clear, and it would nice if the others were re-recorded as well.

Thanks for clarifying, I will edit my request to be more precise .

@graskeggur I just checked all lesson you mentioned above and none of the sentences you mentioned are merged. They are completely fine and separate on the sentence mode, with correct audio.
You were right related to story 52, but questions introduction doesn’t exist in the audio, so I removed that part at the end, I think someone pasted it there by mistake when editing a lesson.

But, again, all other lessons looks good and mentioned text isn’t merged. Where exactly do you see it merged? Can you take some screenshots of that?

@zoran, thanks for the super fast response. Removing the extra verbiage in 52 makes sense.

I apologize for not being more precise, the merging is in Page Mode instead of Sentence Mode. I will send screenshots right now.

Hmm, what exactly you mean by “they are merged in the Page mode”? Are they just in the same row? If so, that’s not unusual or issue. They are divided with a period. If you want to have each sentence separate, just go with the sentence mode.

I sent 2 screenshots to support. I just checked them again, and noticed the common denominator. If you look at the examples in a browser, you will see that they all have a space after the last character in the sentence, then a period, then another alpha character immediately after the space. e.g., in Story 6 you will see “d .7”, which will split correctly for Sentence Mode, but mess up the visual formatting for Page Mode.
