I think it would be great to add additional PhrasePump features/toggles/drop-down selector(s) to the PhrasePump settings menu.
Further customization for study sessions to focus only on certain words/phrases/items in PhrasePump Settings would enhance learner’s experience with PhrasePump:
Note: The above edits were saved weirdly, but you can see the gist. Should be " (1) " for suggested spot 1 and " (2) " for suggested spot 2 for a drop-down menu ( ) called “Session Focus” with the following selections:
Only My Saved Words
Only My Saved Phrases
Only My Learning Items
Only My Saved Items
Default
[Etc.: Fill in with other Suggestions that you see fit]
Section descriptions using the icon:
Only My Saved Words: Focuses the study session on all words marked via the Learning and Known feature. Note: This would (for obvious reasons) exclude the words marked Don’t Learn.
Only My Saved Phrases : Focuses the study session on all saved phrases/sentences saved using the (star) icon
Only My Saved Items: Focuses the study session on all saved phrases/sentences saved using the (star) icon and all words marked via the Learning and Known feature. Note: This would, again, (for obvious reasons) exclude the words marked Don’t Learn.
Only My Learning Items: Focuses the study session on all saved items marked as Learning.
Default: All default settings would be enabled for the session: Look-Listen Cards, Fill-in the Blank Cards, Practice Cards, Quiz Cards, Suggested Word Cards (If applicable for the given language), etc… This Selection can be enabled by default.
Please consider this! I think it would help with similar requests/improve user experience related to the following topics (ongoing list):
Yes i wish the devs would consider this … it’ll be such a huge improvement, pretty much everyone wants to focus on their chosen words and sentences plucked from the movies and shows, it’s such a basic feature that we’re lacking right now
It’s a great idea, Joann! I want to review the words and phrases I’ve saved. I haven’t used LR for a while, but when I started using it recently, I discovered a lot of amazing features. I thought PhrasePump would be the feature I could work on, but it was not what I expected. I have to repeat the same words and phrases every time I use PhrasePump. I wish there were a more efficient way to review my saved items. I wholeheartedly support Joan’s request.
Couldn’t agree more. I purchased a subscription, assuming that this feature was included. It would help sooo much! If you could watch an episode, mark all the new language you come across, then go to phrase pump and review all that language, it would be amazing. Then you could go back and watch the episode again and see how much more of it you could understand >< Developers, would you kindly consider adding this feature?
Exactly the feature I’m looking for! I also subscribed for the Netflix Save feature and want to review the saved items through Phrase Pump. It’s actually the only feature I am currently using It would be awesome if PhrasePump can let me view ONLY my Saved Phrases.
Yes please, Developers! I’m sure this is surely a feature customers would like. You can also offer it as an Upgrade payment if that’s what is appropriate for the time & effort to create this feature.
I’m currently a paid subscriber to both Language Reactor and Migaku for this very feature. It’s driving me nuts because LR is so seamless in Saving phrases but no proper way to review the saved phrases. While Migaku is so bad at saving phrases (lags) but their “phrasepump-like” feature to review saved phrased is great!
I’m really looking forward to this feature. I believe PhrasePump is a great tool, but the automatically added content can be a bit distracting. When I use this tool, my main goal is to focus only on the sentences I’ve saved.
If you use Quiz with both Suggestions and Practice disabled, it will only draw from your saved items.
Also, the original post linked one of my older negative reviews of PhrasePump. My opinion has changed significantly since then — I haven’t found anything else that comes close to PhrasePump in effectiveness for an SRS system.
I’ve linked my updated review below; it’s worth checking out. I include several practical use cases that might help you get more out of it.
Hello again, devs. I continue to use the unpaid version of language reactor nearly every day. I love it. The only thing between me and a paid subscription is a more customizable phrase pump. I understand the theory behind language reactor, that you want a language learning tool that helps people learn language the way we learned our native language. The thing is, that is most effective when one is fully immersed. If fully immersed, you may hear a new word several times a day, giving you the repetition and context required to understand it’s meaning and remember it. For someone who isn’t fully immersed, a more hybrid method works well. I like to watch a video, make flashcards of all the new words, then review the flash cards and watch the video once a day, giving me both the context (through the video) and the kind of repetition that I need to get a word into my long-term memory (through the flashcards). Learning via comprehensible input takes humans years even in an immersion environment. For someone like me who studies an hour a day or so, flash-cards are essential if you want to pick up the language at a reasonable pace. So, I’m just gonna beg one more time. Will you please, please make phrase pump more customizable. Make it so you can select only the words you saved from individual episodes. When it screen-shots the part of the episode where the word appeared, I love that. That function is golden. If I could have it feed me those from specific episodes, I would be the happiest language learner ever. Make it so you can choose whether the selected words appear in new sentences or in their original sentences (from the episode in which they were saved). Just make it customizable af, plzzzzz. I swear, I will become a paying user for the forseeable future if you include this feature. I’m begging you. Thanks, Devs. I love you. Please include this feature. Okay, bye.
