4.4.1
2020-12-17
-We've made some improvements to help you study more effectively.
Passage hints are semantic signposts that keep you on track as the story zigs and zags. With the new full-page hints you'll never miss them again. We added a short pause at the start of the passage so you can catch a breath, read the hint, and prepare for what's coming.
-Listening assistance, simplified
Open the listening assistance panel (gear wheel icon) and you'll see a new slider. This makes it easy to control how much of the Spanish transcript is automatically revealed.
-Auto-rewind for vocab
When you tap on a vocab (underlined in green) it opens the definition for the word or phrase. Now when you dismiss the panel, the player will automatically rewind to just before that word so you can hear it again in context.
