Hi everyone,
As someone knows I'm enjoying using this application since a couple of weeks and eventually I advised to my Dutch girlfriend to use it as a means (together with Duolingo and listening to podcasts) to improve her Italian.
Unfortunately there was no Italian for Dutch speakers course but the Italian for English speakers does also the trick. However, I sent an email saying that it would be great to have an Italian for Dutch speakers course.

This was two days ago. Today I received an email that they listened to my request and added the course oO

Now, my absolute respect and gratitude to the staff of clozemaster.

They're pretty good about responding to requests. I requested a combination for Swedish and Finnish: lo and behold, it now exists in both directions!

Also, I noticed they've changed the way that answers are marked to make allowances for typos. Now if we email them about only knocking off 25% when you get an answer wrong instead of taking the whole sentence back to 0%, Clozemaster would be perfect!

The courses are generated automatically from data in the tatoeba.or* database, so creating a new language pair is simply a matter of running a well-tested computer program one more time.

( * I was supposed to be recording lots of material for tatoeba this year, as per my sig, but I upgraded my computer and the software stopped working, so I did too. I might try to write a replacement program to do the same job later in the year, once I'm finished this bloody dissertation. )

I see. I was imagining something like that, but still
- it exempt me to have to program that software
- it's nice that they are so collaborative.
