A bus station has 乗り場, but it has other places as well. You could be at the station but not be at the 乗り場.
Additionally, I feel like if you asked someone where the バス乗り場 is, they are likely to help you try to find a bus stop in the immediate vicinity of where you are, which could be very different from the nearest station, if that was your intention.
Love the feature, not sure how I feel about the correct answer being given in the hint. That makes it less of a hint and more a case of ‘this is the correct answer’. I’m pretty sure all of these can be worded to be actual hints rather than giveaways.
Yeah, cause all the bus stops are marked 乗り場 with a little red circular sign.
The only city that I’ve spent any time in, in Japan, that didn’t have an extensive subway, but instead a pretty useful bus system, had both bus stations at its two main train stations. And if you asked for a bus stop you’d certainly be directed to the nearest little red sign.
I’m just reading this now. You might want to consider limiting a few of these to only happen in the first 10 levels or something like that. Especially the じゆう and おんあ situations. I think this is super valuable for beginners to help guide them along, but it is wrong and in my view should be treated as such after a grace period.
Now I do agree with @seanblue that giving the actual answer is perhaps going a bit far. I think the first sentence is enough of help.
But I don’t agree with limited the ん typos to the first 10 levels, since the ん typos really are just typos from typing on a keyboard. If you had written it by hand, the problem wouldn’t arise. It’s a typing issue more than an understanding issue.
I never really mistype にゅ as ぬゆ. I don’t think that’s as easy to mix up compared to misunderstanding how many times you pushed the n-button.
Now I’m unsure of how this update is supposed to work, but I thought that 女 おんな would have been included? (but perhaps it’s not?)?
I’m asking because the shake animation didn’t happen for an item I intentionally failed today (I just had to try it out! ) some 7 hours ago, so the update should have been live.
I was actually also thinking about scripts possibly interfering. But, then the second screen shot I posted happened (= first in the post) and everything was alright.
In any case, I might as well re-test this item and fail it again but with no scripts and see if I have any issues still. I’ll let you know the results of my tests! <3
(though I don’t know when I might retest this specific item)
It looks like the message for ‘you forgot the “to” in the verb’ is shaking and popping up after I’ve moved to the next item (although it is marking it as correct, so that’s okay).
@Mods Typed べつさつ and got this. I was doing reviews as fast as I could so it only showed up on the next one. Then turns out I was marked correct on that
Thanks for the update, appreciate it, but I definitely should have been wrong on this!
Oh, that’s a bad one! Not knowing to convert from つ to っ in some compounds is a common error, and giving the user a warning for all of those seems like a bad idea!
I’m using a ton of userscripts, yes
I can’t take a screenshot of them now but I can in a few hours.
This morning I had around 120 reviews (some level-up ones).
Yeah, if I was designing it I might limit the warning to things that don’t have tsu in them (like if someone tried to write gatsukou for 学校) or things in the first 5 levels or so. This just makes sure they learn about doubling consonants in romaji.
Just to respond to a couple of earlier posts, we’re keeping an eye on this to see how it goes and will be considering updates after seeing the pitfalls and giving them some more thought
I agree with this one. I regularly forget how to read 達する, if I got a warning there I’d probably never really learn it. I think for the small letter case it should probably be disabled after the first 3 levels or so, anyone starting out who doesn’t know the difference will have seen it enough by then to know the difference. And there aren’t really any items below level 3 where you might easily confuse the two, so it won’t have too much of an impact on anyone else.
