Did you reply to me? Quick practice doesn't explain anything, it just throws you into the flashcard sequence. Looking at the strategies, is the differentiator of this app that it lets you hear words slowly and "per word"? Is there a way to say the word before the sound speaks it? Hearing the word seems to defeat the purpose, shouldn't you be saying it first so that you can evaluate if you were right or wrong?
