Lack Diversity

I really enjoy using these cards. They’re great for teaching a variety of actions and pronouns. However, they would be more inclusive if there were a wider variety of ethnicities represented among the pictures.

Best feature- the ability to record, use & type of pictures to elicit a complete sentence, a variety of student centered themes to choose
What could be better - data collection, emailing results & tape recordings, eliminate signing in after each sentence

I love this app for my clients but all of a sudden it will not let us choose what set of pictures we want. What's up with that? Libespeech8
