New Release, New Cool Features

New version is developed and deployed. The new features are:

- Tutorial Slide Show
- User Game Statistics

Example of Tutorial Slide Show: http://www.internetpolyglot.com/play_slide_show_lesson_-2104301010 (make sure that you have your sound turned on, turn on your speakers or put on your headphones). I have long been thinking that we have games on the site, which is the way to drill words that you've already seen but we didn't have an efficient way to see them first. The Tutorial Slide Show does exactly that: it teaches you new words, shows the image for the word, pronounces it and its translation. You can go from word to word and enjoy it. After you finished with the slide show you can start playing games with this lesson.

User Game Statistics. You've been working hard on learning new words but we didn't have a way to show your progress. Now we do. Go to http://www.internetpolyglot.com/userGameStatistics.html and see your progress. Please remember that you have to be logged in when you go to this page.

Also recently the site was translated to Ukrainian.

Plans for the near future:
- Chinese (Mandarin) is almost done. The vocabulary is uploaded, it even has pinyin (roman transcription). What left is to upload audio files. The site is also translated to Chinese (some corrections are to be done though).
- Improvements of the games. Show pictures, play pronunciation.
- New games.

Stay tuned!
