What's New in Joshi

“I don't know” sits under the Check button Instead of guessing, you say outright that you do not know the particle yet: you see the answer at once, and the question comes back sooner, as after a mistake. The session result shows separately how many answers were like that. “Your weakest” fills in from the first answers The Today screen lists roles from the weakest up as soon as there is something to measure. It used to take only what had dropped below a threshold, so with good results the section stayed empty even after hundreds of answers. The color stays on what really needs work. More verbs that come in pairs The role of 電気が消えました has 20 questions instead of 9, and their partners with を, like 電気を消しました, stand on the other side. In 32 questions the gap now follows the noun: after で, に and から only も and は fit, so the answer could be read off the join alone. You choose which family apps you see In Settings you decide which apps appear among the recommendations and which in “Your Japanese”. The section says when something is hidden, and underneath it a key explains the marks next to the apps. Three role descriptions now match their questions も after a question word in a negative sentence means none at all: 何もありません. Contrastive は often names the other thing right after it, and is common in negatives after the -く form. The descriptions of these roles used to talk about something other than what their questions asked.
