Smart Review hard mode feature request

I love Smart Review and use it all the time. It’s the bulk of my daily practice. It would be insanely awesome if I could test how well I remember the spelling and pronunciation.

I’m thinking of something like:
“I eat”, and when you flip the card you have to type “eu como” and pass a pronunciation check.

This would test how well I know it better than just flash cards.

Hi, I came across your question. You can choose to do a review by Quiz mode instead flash cards. In quiz mode, it will ask you a few different ways including spelling. Click Learn, then smart review, then quiz mode. Hope this helps

Hey there, I’m familiar with the quiz mode but I find that a lot easier than the regular flash cards so I don’t use it much. What I’m looking for doesn’t exist and is harder than what’s available, but thanks for trying to help!

You mentioned spelling. I’ve been doing the regular Smart Review (NOT quiz mode), but instead of just saying the sentence out loud, I write it down before checking the answer. I know this is low tech (hey there pen and paper!) but it has been making a big difference, especially for some of those troublesome phrases that I miss regularly.

I wonder if something nearly equally low tech, like using your phone to record your voice and then just comparing it to the PP recorded voice would help? I find when I did this in German (haven’t tried with Portuguese yet), that I could really hear my accent better. As in when I am speaking, I think I’m doing GREAT, but then when I listen back, I think, “Oh my!” :joy:
