When changing languages in Lingq, wouldn’t it be better to confirm first? Accidentally choosing a new language automatically adds it.
I agree, a confirmation would be nice. Also, if we click to a link that has another language in it, we automatically get that language added to ours. A confirmation would probably avoid that too.
You can remove languages. I am not generally against a confirmation, but unless this happens to you all the time, it might not really be necessary as it isn’t permanent.
I don’t know how easy it is now to remove a language, but for a long time there was a bug, meaning if you added another language, you couldn’t delete it no matter how many times you pressed the button.
The last time I did it, it wasn’t a problem. So if there was a problem, it might have been solved already. But I only had to remove a language once, although I couldn’t even remember that I had accidently added it. 
Yes you can remove languages. No I’m not suggesting that every time I switch languages I’m currently studying that I want to have to confirm that choice.
I have, for whatever reason, found myself accidentally touching a new-to-me language multiple times recently, and all of a sudden I’ve added it and have to delete it. I don’t recall having this issue before for whatever reason.
It seems to me that adding another language is a significant choice — something that should be confirmed rather than being an accident I need to fix regardless of how easy that may or may not be to fix.
And if I had purchased a lifetime subscription to the languages I study, I’m unclear what billing implications there might be. Interesting question.
It does seem to be easy, but it involves confirmation. You must respond to a modal dialogue by typing “OK”, because for sure you don’t want to accidentally delete a language you’ve studied for years! That makes sense.
That’s not how I understood you.
That makes sense, indeed. If a user action causes a permanent, irreversible change there should be a confirmation. However, adding a language doesn’t do so. You can ignore the additional language or delete it.
I assume most users have tested LingQ without paying before subscribing to any of the available possibilities. Thus it should be clear that using LingQ for a language doesn’t automatically involves you to pay something. You didn’t had to before making the lifetime subscription, too.
Hence the clarification.
Completely agree, but it’s just one more example of a lack of attention to detail in Lingq. The users should not be asked to constantly forgive Lingq for making it more work to use the app. I literally could report a defect every day if I cared to. Fortunately, Lingq continues to be an important app in my toolbox for learning languages.
No, I meant I didn’t understood it as that you want a prompt when switching language, but that you want a prompt when adding a new language, so that accidently clicking on the wrong language in the language list said language doesn’t automatically ends up in the list of learned languages. So I think I understood your initial post correct. No need for any clarification. What I don’t understand, though, is what comment of mine made you think I was assuming you were talking about switching languages? 
Sooooooooooooooo true. But I guess, it’s just the LingQ method™. 
Yep. And if it isn’t anymore, we are free to abandon it.
To be fair, though, they somewhat try to make a lot of people happy, of which not everyone comments in the forum here. That’s what makes me “oppose” you idea. In general I agree with you. But I think that more feedback in terms of more requests doesn’t necessarely make the staff’s job easier. If an issue can be bypassed in the software’s current state, spending time on it instead on issues where the users don’t have the means to do so is probably not the most efficient approach.

You cannot remove a language that is currently active. Switch to a different language, and then you’ll be able to remove the unwanted language without any problems.
