the thing is, for frequency vocabulary learning, we already have anki, there are a large variety of anki decks that teach words in order of frequency. this siteās strength is in having real-world sentences, rather than just vocabulary learning. by focusing so much on order of frequency, it becomes nothing more than another way to learn vocabulary, rather than a way to learn a language. the more it focuses just on word frequency, the more overlap there is with flashcard apps/systems like anki, and the less distinguished and unique it is.

I agree, is there a way to always have them displayed without clicking the button? They definitely spice up my learning.

I sometimes forget to click the illustration button after answering, so I would welcome an automatic display, perhaps even before answering.
I wish there was, but I donāt think so. If so, it would have to be optional, I think. @mike ?

Well, frequency is not the opposite of real-world sentences at all. Actually, I think the exact reverse is true.
Instead, if someone is not searching for order of frequency he could go read a newspaper, or flip through Tatoeba or any other resource he likes.

Maybe itās just me, because I donāt see a single mention of this, but I canāt find the new Fluency Fast Track in the iOS app. I only see the legacy track, which is still confusingly called āFluency Fast Trackā in my app. It has 19.994 Spanish sentences and it has the exact progress that I had with the legacy track. Since Iām new to Clozemaster Iād like to start with the newer one, but I can only find and use it in the browser for some reason. Is that something that will be fixed in the next iOS release?

Yes! The new Fast Track will be better supported in the next mobile app update. At the moment, if you start playing one of the new Fast Track collections on web, it should appear in the mobile app, otherwise it doesnāt yet show up.
For me it doesnāt show up, even though Iāve started using it online, but Iām happy to hear that it will be better supported in an upcoming update!
Hello, people! Is the new Fast Track been implemented yet? I have many languages courses and I donāt see any changes to them.
Italian was the first language to implement the new fast tracks. Spanish now also has the new fast tracks. More languages to follow sooner or later (Iāve read French and German are getting closer to completion).

Hi Mike,
Loving the changes to the fluency fast track and also the new āimprovedā audio that comes along with it.
Just wondering if thereās any timeline for allowing us to test this content as a ālisteningā Skill rather than only the vocabulary one?
I primarily use clozemaster for Chinese and the premium HSK content which has the listening and dictation option, but quite robotic voices - So the new curated voicing for fastrack is exciting, but thereās no option to do it as a listening exercise.
Thanks!
Mark

I like the concept of the new fast track. A human moderated collection should help remove some of the occasional glitches from Tatoeba It does go for very colloquial expressions on occasion, where something simpler would serve normal usage. eg. Doesnāt cut the mustard (great English phrase, but not one I would ever teach a beginner, but used in Tatoeba as an equivalent for a German phrase - which means the odds of guessing the German version are very low)
My reservation is that a lot of early words in the new fast track arenāt nouns.
The Explain text seems to be really good (Iām guessing the AI has got better over time) - when itās for a short sentence, itās giving extra data like the full set of present tense options for sein. Plus it seems to be giving better explanations of how gender and case affecting other words. It just gave me a very good explanation of a modal verb.
I like the images, but would it be possible to automatically show them as a smaller image next to the text? (I have RSI, and extra clicks hurt - hence I wonāt be using this option, even though I like it)
I think Iāll definitely be using this track, partly for the improved Explain buttons and partly for (I hope) sentences that arenāt quite so extreme on colloquisims.

Dear Sir,
for all the reasons you have mentioned I am very impressed with the new Fast Track. (German version)
I can better see my progress and using ālistenā and ātranscribeā I can hopefully improve as I go from basic to more advanced levels.
Thank you very much for your excellent product.
PH.

How come if you switch to the new fluency fast track it starts al no words mastered. Iāve done a lot of the other legacy track as well as a lot of the most common word tracks.Youād think there would be some over lap right? I dont want to start from scratch. I appreciate you can jump into levels but its not clear where each level starts.
Hello, friend, and welcome!
Seeing your profile, I have the opinion that youāll benefit a lot from the beginning of the New FFT. In the case you find some very easy sentence - probably in Spanish - you can discard them or even master them immediately with those two buttons which show up after the answer:
For me it has been a fresh and new adventure starting this new FFT!

Ok thanks Iāll look into this. I thought the sentences were based on knowing the words but i guess each sentence is considered different? i already know thousands of words so im not sure if i should just randomly pick different levels and go through and discard or master things?
When you start any collection, none of the sentences are listed as mastered. Itās not feasible to say something like āIn collection A, you mastered a similar sentence, so weāll say youāve mastered this sentence in collection B.ā
Youād think there would be some over lap right?
Yes, but assessing the overlap is up to you.
I dont want to start from scratch. I appreciate you can jump into levels but its not clear where each level starts.
You can do it experimentally. Try the level halfway through the series (level 5). If thatās too hard, try the level halfway below that (level 2 or 3). If itās too easy, try the level halfway above (level 7 or 8).
I thought the sentences were based on knowing the words but i guess each sentence is considered different?
Itās not clear what you mean, but perhaps something like this? āI thought that once I mastered a sentence, I was marked as having mastered all other sentences that have the same cloze, but I guess thatās not true.ā
Thatās how I would start out. Then you can move up or down as you like.

Can we can an easier way to bulk mark sentences as known? when i go to manage lists i can only go bit by bit filtering as new sentences and clicking known. Since only a certain amount of sentences show up per page it takes a while
