I have three lists on Skritter.

With two of them I want to practice writing, definitions and tones. With one list I would like to learn only the definitions (meaning) of the words.

In opened this last list and in "Change study settings" I flagged only "Parts Studying: Definition", but when studying I am still prompted to write words of this list.

Could you help?

Thanks,
Gilberto

What you want to do is possible, but cumbersome. The study setting determines which parts (writing, tone, etc) to add whenever you add words (either manually or automatically). Once the various parts of a word are added, they're in your study routine for good. You might be able to ban certain parts of the words from the website.

Here is what you must do: Only add words manually. Then, choose to only add words from the list with the definitions and set your Parts Studying: Definition setting. After you've added some words in this way, change your parts studying setting to writing, definition and tones and set your "adding from" lists to your other two lists. You have to keep flipping back and forth like this.

For added complexity, you should try to study traditional definitions and simplified writings (or vice versa) from different lists...

Thank you for the explanation.

It is really cumbersome: I hoped that just the "Change study settings" option of the single list would be enough.

You could probably also remove the list (which will take its words out of My Words, but not forget your progress on them), then set it to definitions only and add it again. Then it won't re-add the other parts.

This could be something worth exploring on HTML5, or a variation of this that would allow individual lists to toggle study parts on and off while studying. I'll talk to Josh about it and see what he thinks.

Of course we're not going to let him think about any new features until he pushes out a usable app to the Google Play store, but we can always toss a few carrots in front of his nose to chase!
