Thanks - Unfortunately that's just the way the component library (React Toolbox) behaves. I could probably force a 'display: none' or something but I'd rather spend my time adding more feature :)
Re: Show HN: Verb Master – A site for practising Spanish verbs
#54Funny, I am Spanish and I just realised how confusing the verb 'to feel' can be. The app translated it to 'sentirse', and I didn't do it correctly. Just after that I found the error. 'To feel' can be translated to 'sentir' or to 'sentirse' and both are correct depending on the context. 'To feel the wind' would be 'sentir el viento', but 'to feel bad' would be 'sentirse mal'. I conjugated 'sentir' and it was asking fo…
Just for the record,
'sentir' is related with outer. You use it to explain that you perceive something that is out of you (like in I feel the wind)
'sentirse' (and other form verbs that fit in "something-something" + se) is related with inner. You use it to explain something about you (i.e your mood). Perceive something inside the limits of your body (like in I feel ill). Is not an exact rule (I feel pain uses sentir for example) but is useful.

#55Creator here. I only started learning to code properly 7 months ago and react ~3 months ago, so I'd love any feedback. I hope to add audio, more tenses and more feedback (on your progress through each round) soon. I wrote a blog post on the development here for anyone interested: https://andycloke.github.io/Building-Verb-Master/ This was my CS50 final project. Can't recommend the course highly enough.
License? This is an excellent UI.

Re: Show HN: Verb Master – A site for practising Spanish verbs
#56Looks pretty nice. I actually run a site that does something pretty similar [0]. The major difference is that I "group" verbs into sets with identical conjugations. I then use spaced repetition to generate the "flashcards", but substitute grouped verbs at random. The idea is for you to get a feel for a conjugation so that when you see a new verb in the future you should have a good sense of how it conjugates. (as a t…
I like that idea, but with multiple choice I always can guess the right answer by elimination. I won't learn how to actually use the verbs myself. I'd set the input to typing by default.
You can change the default in Settings. A 3rd available option is multiple choice, but hide the choices until you click / tap a button to "show options", so you can think of the answer.

I followed the same flow for learning Spanish as you, and your site looks excellent. I too have a bunch of infinitives memorized via Anki, but would like to practice all forms of conjugation, and manually creating more flashcards is simply too labor-intensive.
One thing I'd like to see is the flashcard interface translated to Spanish. I learned Spanish in Spanish, for the most part, and I get confused when I see "imperfect" and I have to remember that it's really what I learned as "pasado/preterito imperfecto." Built-in pronunciation via TTS would also rock! One could probably write a userscript to do this, but it's always nicer to be built in.

Thanks! I found anki is great for vocab but for verbs there are just so many conjugations that you end up with too many flashcards. Plus making them is a bore as you say...
This is already a feature but maybe it's not clear. Click on the drop down in the top right to change the language to Spanish
