Hi guys, I'm the author. Here's a related blog post I did introducing the game: http://quietlyamused.org/blog/2013/09/01/introducing-the-gre... Feedback's much appreciated, and if you encounter any bugs, please report them via email to lars+glg@yencken.org If there's a language you'd like to see that's missing, consider helping out by finding some good quality language samples or news podcasts in that language and em…

You are directly sending a POST request to the {domain}/play/ URL I presume. I gave the URL to my friend and it gave him a 405 Method Not Allowed error.

Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying. I'll redirect GET requests to /play/ back to the homepage. Thanks for the heads up!

Volume's been normalised using mp3gain. I manually screen all the snippets for English, music or other noise, and obvious giveaways. Looks like a Ukraine case slipped through -- it's in my todo list to remove. Thanks!

The Portuguese one also had a word sounding like "portuguese" in it that made it trivial for me.

This is against my annotation guidelines, so it's a sneaky case that slipped through. I'll make a note to review the Portuguese samples -- thanks!

Where can we see the list of all the languages available? Is Quechua available? (Peruvian/Bolivian and the incas native language )

I'll have to make a page showing the available languages. Are you a Quechua speaker? I'd love to add it.

Not quite, I can barely dabble a few words but it is widely spoken here in Peru.

here is a link of a youtube where it is spoken clearly (maybe you can use that ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AjTi4q_kIo
