What do you think about the idea to have different reading modes to choose from, when the character has been written?

Mode 1 = only character
Mode 2 = only the sample sentence
Mode 3 = both

additional input taking no additional time. The effect is repetition and the character has more neurons it can drill itself into. The effect is similar to what happens when writing in skritter.

Can you describe more what kind of prompt you're talking about? I'm not sure I understand.

I don´t mean a prompt. When I learn the characters after I read or write one, the character gets spoken by the "ladies". Instead of hearing only the character itself, i would like to choose what i want to hear as described above. I hope i could make my thought clear.

Oh, yeah. We don't have audio for any of the sample sentences, so without licensing some Chinese text-to-speech software (usually expensive), we can't play those sounds, unfortunately.

I could think of the following functionality to reach the same result.

If i can create a list of sentences i would like to hear by simply clicking some button aside them, i could then ask my fiancee to speak them one by one.

You just need to create a screen presenting the list and enabling microphone input.

I think others have partners as well interested in getting us up and running speaking Chinese.

The problem with user-contributed audio is that it's pretty tough to get stuff that sounds good (without distracting background noise, etc.) without a lot of setup. And there are so many sentences to do that we would never have great coverage.
