We would love to hear your feedback to make Pandanese better for you!
The Hundred-Best-List (Circa 2012) hidden as a link in the Terms of Service is a hoot! I clicked on āSantaās List,ā but ended up with a 404 . . . Darn! Oh well. No Santa. On another hand, clicking on the Fibonacci Sequence entry yielded this: you can calculate how many pairs of bunnies you end up with by using the Fibonacci numbers: āThe Fibonacci numbers give the number of pairs of rabbits n months after a single pair begins breeding.ā Having a hard time right now writing this because I am trying not to laugh out loud. Who knew learning Chinese could be so much fun! ååååļ¼
I definitely love the Pandaneseā Teamās sense of humor! Keep it up, guys! Back to studying . . .
So I really canāt do anything except every four hours?
Probably, yes, but once you accumulate more cards, the pace sort-of accelerates: now that Iāve progressed to Lesson 4, I have to be far more regular in my study, otherwise I find myself having to literally ācatch upā with 45-50 cards to review if I let go of review/learn for one day or two. The waiting period is meant to respect the space repetitionās most optimal time for our brain to forget some but not entirely, then reinforce. At first, I was chomping at the bit, but now I am starting to see the wisdom of it . . .

Haha! In the Pandanese Forum FAQās, here:

The following characters are only partially defined in your application: åļ¼ęŖļ¼ęļ¼å¢ļ¼å«ļ¼yuan
Many translations are arbitrary and awkward, e.g.: āwith oneās all strengthā (no other translation is accepted)
For the card Da Shi(Ambassador) in lesson 2, the reading of it is adding the comma and tone marks and wonāt let me enter āda shiā by itself as the reading but requires me to write ādĆ shĒ,ā in order for it to be accepted.
I am finding this frustratingly slow. I came back this morning (being a Saturday and no work - I started yesterday) and still had to wait several hours before I could try again. Also frustrated because I canāt move on - I know Japanese, so 90% of the radicals are familiar. On top of which, of my 3 mistakes, I wrote 8 instead of eight, battlefield instead of battleground, and top instead of lid (this one I can understand might not have been precise enoughā¦), but on the basis of that I canāt do any more. Maybe there needs to be a bit more flexibility for different paces of learning, learning backgrounds, and time commitments. There should be at least something new every single time.

I gave up the program, honestly. I donāt have the time to go at such an excruciatingly slow pace. I eventually moved on from Mandarin anyway.

I have been reviewing just 3 cards for the last three days - for example eight because I typed in 8 insteadā¦ with no new material to keep my interest. Where is this fast learning - or even learning? Isnāt there a way to build in more flexibility in the pace? I am feeling very frustrated.

Iām not surprised! And a bit freaked out that it stays this slow. Iām pedantic, but this is crazy. I already read and write Japanese, and used a similar system to learn, so Iām already familiar with the learning system and most of the meanings - if not always the exact word. Plus, while reviewing is important, also having a bit of new stuff every time is just as important - Iām now 3 days on reviewing 3 radicals - with mistakes like writing the digit 8 instead of the word eight .

Same issue on my end with the Da Shi card. I have to copy the acceptable answer from the screen and then paste it back for the correct answer once the card reappears. See attached screen shot. Could this be fixed? Also, it appears that for some cards some of he the alternative meaning I was able to see previously disappeared and instead only empty brackets are shown: [ ]

Yes - thatās the only way Iāve been able to get around that one.
It would also be good too, to have a link from the individual character of a compound back to its original. Iāve wanted to double check a meaning and had to spend ages looking for them.
This is Hiro from Pandanese.
Apologies for the convenience. I fixed 大ä½æ issue. If you see this kind of issue again, please let us know via chat on Pandanese or email to support@pandanese.com
Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks! I came across 大ä½æ now and it works well.
Iām wondering at the order of learning. There are a lot of abstract concepts, like several words that are variations on real and genuine. Wouldnāt it be easier to be working with words that are more concrete in concept?
