Just a suggestion: I think it may be more convenient to listen to individual characters in words just by having to click once, rather than twice. To listen to individual characters now, we have to click on the non-tonal pinyin and then click on the audio icon. It seems like it would make more sense just to have to click once on the non-tonal pinyin to hear what it sounds like.

So you're saying the sound should play when you click to open the bubble? That's a good idea!

I have added it.

Except... then it gets rather easy to remember the tone, doesn't it? Or rather, there is no way for you to try to remember because it has already been revealed in the sound.
I think it is better that you just get the definition, as this sometimes enable my mnemonics to kick in, but only if I click the actual audio I would hear the sound and also fail my tone for that particular character.

I definitely agree with 沈唯達. I do exactly that: use it as a mneumonic prompt when struggling. I absolutely would not want to hear the audio if possible.

Thanks

Oops, right, it should only say it if the tone has already been revealed (i.e., it's not prompting you for the tone). Changed it; will put that up shortly.

What I was saying is that if users want to hear an individual character because they can't remember which tone it is, they could do so with one click , rather than two.
Right now, after Nick changed it back to how it was, suppose you get to the word
“你好”。 After you type in 你, it asks for the tone. Suppose you forgot the tone, you could listen to the audio, rather than just clicking the "next" button.
As of presently, we can still do this without click the "next" button, by clicking the non-tonal pinyin and then clicking on the volume icon. However, doing it this way gets annoying really fast, because the first of the two clicks SERVES NO PURPOSE.

typo above in the sixth line: it should be "after you draw/write in 你" ...

....and in case there are people that don't understand what I mean, I'm saying that users can first try to figure out a given character's tone by listening to the audio, before taking a wild guess or simply pressing the "next" button. I think this makes sense, and if it doesn't , could someone please explain why?

Oh. I think I get it. Have you tried pressing the "?" button?
