Hello,

I have returned to the Clozemaster after a while, and recently noticed that there is no "Explain" feature available in my Fast Track anymore, but only in the app. Interesingly, I have checked the 100 Most Common collection, and the feature is there for both mobile and desktop version.

Anyone have similar issues?

Edit: I you want to be quizzed on a noun as well as its gender, Clozemaster will not do that for you.

I just started using Clozemaster for German, and I feel like I must be missing something. In Fast Track level one, "correct" answers for nouns don't require knowing the noun's gender -- it's given in the sentence. I peeked at level nine to see if it was different, but it's the same approach.

I know there are two grammar options -- for definite articles and relative clauses, and for indefinite articles -- and I've started to work on those instead, but I can't figure out why Clozemaster would have left out an essential part of building up a noun vocabulary. I got a good deal on a monthly subscription, but it seems almost useless as a vocabulary builder for nouns.

Am I missing something?

The app says it adds 1 point for every sentence, instead it adds 0 points for every sentence. Why?

Just wondering as I get more into things what people prefer, or think work best for learning. I have switched to doing Vocabulary with Text Input, and always show the translation, and if I have no idea of the word, I hit the button to go to multiple choice, and then only use the free letter if I am having issues spelling something. I feel like this helps me associate the words better, since if I do listening I just focus on hearing how to phonetically spell the words, and not what the words actually mean.

But maybe I am just doing things wrong, or it is more language dependent? Either way, wondering how people are also using the app.

I have to renew my pro membership by nov 9. I think black friday sales of 50% discount will be available on november 29. I have seen other posts where it was mentioned that clozemaster doesnt suppost switching plans feature, so should i not but pro by nov 9 and instead wait till nov 29?

I'm learning Latvian, which isn't a big language on Clozemaster (only has the random collection with 940 sentences) and I have also been using it as a secondary resource to learn German (which has a ton more content) for a couple of years now.

I'm wondering if anyone really gives any care to languages not in the top 5, it feels like every fifth sentence is an awkward sentence that obviously was translated wrong from English to Latvian because someone didn't know the difference between eg. "day" (24-hour period) and "day" (the time when the sun is up), which are two different words in Latvian.

• The translation is fumbling with "you" (singular) and "you" (plural) constantly
• There are sentences that are just plain wrong that seem to have been scraped off Tatoeba on day 1 but never updated when the Tatoeba translation has been corrected
• I have reported a ton of wrong or awkward sentences and I have never received an email saying a sentence I reported has been corrected, but immediately got a reply when there was something wrong with my subscription (I have pro)

Thankfully I at least know enough to have warning bells ringing when I read an awkward sentence and I'm able to look it up if I'm unsure, but this just doesn't seem to be a good resource for learning a language. I understand that as a dev team with a ton of languages you don't have control of everything being right all the time, but this is something that really can't be overlooked if you want to have a good learning resource, which is what CM is touted as all the time. There are mistakes that are really fatal in terms of learning correct speech, e.g. the you sg./pl. distinction that is especially crucial for native English speakers to learn.

The only remedy that I can think of is if there were enough community made collections to use instead but that seems like a waste, especially when there already are built in collections that just are made unreliable by having 85% okay content, 10% clumsy sentences and 5% blatantly wrong translations. Is this actually recommended for learning other languages than French, German and Spanish?

There doesn't seem to be a placement test? If you're beyond beginner, do you just start with level 1?

It's been a lot fewer than 180 days since I started using clozemaster, and I never manually marked sentences as mastered (nor did I change when the 4th review is).

it says choose a collection so i click and i browse but there’s no option to pin it…

Wow, I was in for a shocker on this one. I figured 100 most common meant all the words would be the most common. I got blasted with "The tenant must pay rent to the landlord at the end of each month." Something I've never even said in English before.

Hello! I’ve been using your platform and love the experience. I’m eager to upgrade to the lifetime option, but the current $199 price is a bit beyond my budget. I’ve tried various promo codes without success. Could you please offer any valid discount or promotion that might make this plan more affordable?

Have you all learned a language just by using Clozemaster. Btw, do you use other websites or apps to learn languages?

SOLVED - user error

Hey guys, for a few days I’ve only been able to play one round per day! Is this part of a new update or should I report a bug?

If it’s a feature I am really disappointed. I just signed up for premium for a year and would probably try to get a refund if so.

For context, it first happened when I changed it to “infinite.” When I realized I wouldn’t be able to do play another round after ending the infinite round, I changed it back to a numbered round, but then today could only play one of those. Could it be tied to that?

Edit: Turns out I had just finished the deck coincidentally with swapping back and forth from the “infinite” and I was reviewing, not doing new cards. Lol

Anyone else wish you could play the same deck as much as you want tho? 🙃 Just while I have this topic open…

Hello,

I don't know if anyone at the Clozemaster developing team reads this forum, but I would like to leave my opinion here.

I'm a subscriber of Clozemaster for nearly one year now and I actually love it, I think it's brilliant and it helped me boost my vocabulary usage in Serbian.

Anyway, the thing is, I don't like the fact that it keeps my 'streak'. I do 80-100 sentences every working day, but some days (specially on Saturdays) I don't follow my routine and I can't set aside 5-10 minutes, or I forget about it because I'm busy. So, seeing the streak go back to 0 is really annoying and puts me off (I get the feeling that, well, since I lost my streak, why start again today and not tomorrow or the day after that?).

You guys can say that I can as well ignore the streak. And you are right, I can. But it would be really great if I could turn it off and not see that annoying number again. I honestly think it's great that it motivates people, but it doesn't work that way for everyone and it's my case.

Love for the developers and for you guys on the subreddit.

I'm learning AUSTRIAN , Wich can be different from Deutsch in lot of aspects ...

Would be awesome if you could Add to the app !!

Dankeee

Is it me or the new Fluency Fast Track in Swedish uses real people instead of a computer voice, one without an accent and one with an accent?

I'm doing listening skills. I'd rather not see an english translation until I've made my choice.

"saw" is too much of a hint. In fact, the whole english bit is unneccesary.

Signed up day or two ago and have been doing the FTF, Russian. I'm about ~40-50% A1 I would say over all domains of language learning.

But...

I don't understand how this app helps language learning? I am scoring 100% on every single sentence because it is so easy. Why don't they use the same word but in different cases? Or at least similar words or something?

What am I missing? Or should we be, really, trying to translate the whole sentence in our head and not paying attention to the whole 'which super obvious word was missing?'...?

In which case, why not just use Anki or something?

I found this for exporting phrases. Towards the middle of the document it says: ''' At the top of the screen on the homepage, you can click the download icon in the Favorites option, thus providing you with an excel of the sentences and words you have reviewed. '''

Curiously this is the one statement in the document they made that didn't come with a screenshot showing where it is or what they mean. Well, I'm stuck at this point because there are no download icons anywhere on the home screen (or anywhere else that I can find). Can someone please help? I want to share this document with someone that will help keep it updated.

Thanks!

Whenever I press "reveal the next letter" button (in hard mode obviously) the app crashes and has to be restarted. Anyone else has this issue? I am on Fast Forward To Fluency, English -> Hungarian if that matters.

edit. found it. "reset" allows deleting all progress for an individual deck.

in currently doing the new fast track collections by order.

but it keeps offering me to do reviews on the older random collection I did before.

I cannot find in the settings how to fully remove the older collection history altogether. like I never touched it. never show it to me.

the advantage is that I'll be able to do "review all" for three collections I'm practicing now

anyone?

if anyone from ClozeMaster lurks here, I got some other improvement ideas.

Great app

I find Clozemaster useful in keeping fresh the five languages I have been learning for some time - French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish - but I think it could easily be made much more useful and challenging if they gave users the choice of varying the way each question is first displayed.

I would like to be able to select a setting in which the sentence displayed just in English first, so that I could try to work out the translation before seeing it. Then I press a button to display the question with the missing word, and then I could press a button to see the four multiple choice options.

In languages that are newer for me, I would like a different setting which just displayed the question with the missing word, then I could press a button to see the English translation, and then another button for the four options.

Probably most users would not choose either of these settings, but for those of us who find that they often can work out the correct answer very easily without really learning anything new, I think that it would be an improvement.

Well, there are still some which are not yet Mastered, but I'VE DONE IT. ALL 19,796 SENTENCES. My passive vocab thanks the Clozemaster team for their fantastic app!

I absolutely love this app, and especially the radio function while at work. Unfortunately it crashes immediately when I press play since last update a few days ago.

Anyone had a similar problem? Moto Android.

Apologies if this question has been posted before.

I notice that in cloze questions, exact cognates are often replaced with synonyms--presumably to increase difficulty.

For example,

Cloze: "Elle a survéçu à l'_____ de voiture."

Clue: "She survived the car crash."

Answer: "accident"

Obviously the clue could be "She survived the car accident." A totally normal thing to say in English and the more direct translation.

My question is, is there any learning benefit to having to find "accident" from its synonym, "crash"?

I ask in part because it is these kinds of questions, involving exact cognates, that tend to become "leeches" for me. My inclination is just to edit the question to the direct translation. But maybe I am cheating myself of an important challenge for language learning.

What do you think?

I've seen at least one private profile, but I can't see how to turn this on. Is it possible?

Hey,

just a quick question.

Legacy fast track has "stats" (pictured below) - I don't see this optiong with the "new fast track" (the 10 x 1000 words one).

Is that by design, or is it locked behind a pro version? Just curious (might reconsider starting Italian "new fast track" and go back to legacy, as I like looking at stats :') )

thanks!
