Microphone setup. A new setup screen gets speaking ready before your first answer: • Allow the microphone. • Download Spanish speech recognition, with progress shown. • Test it by saying "Hola, buenos días" and seeing the words the app heard. It opens once after you sign in, and any time from "Set up microphone" in the profile menu. You can skip it and type your answers; if speech isn't ready, the app tells you and links back to setup instead of failing to hear you. Also in this version: • Verb practice tells you which tense you're working on before it starts, for example "Past subjunctive drill." • The microphone stays off while the app is speaking, so your answer is never recorded over the question. • Fixed note cards that sometimes stayed silent after a quick flip. • New About screen in the profile menu shows your app version and school.
