Reading your progress
My Progress shows what you have practised and how well it went, for the current learner and the course you are studying. On iPhone and iPad, open it from the chart icon at the top left of the main screen; on the Mac, choose My Progress under Tools in the sidebar.
Everything here is worked out on your device from the answers already stored. Nothing is uploaded.
The screen answers four questions, top to bottom: what to practise next, what you know, where you lose points, and how it goes over time. Until you have answered anything, a line says there is no study data yet.
The top of the screen
When and how often. The day you started, how many days you have been active and, when you have one, your current streak.
Recent activity. A practice grid for one calendar month, one square per day: the darker the square, the more answers you gave that day. The ‹ and › arrows page through the months, back as far as your first recorded answer; Today jumps back to the current month. Under the grid, a count of the active days in that month and a less … more colour key.
This and lower levels / Whole course. When you study at a level (chosen in Scheme and level), a switch decides what the figures below count against: your level and the levels below it, or the whole course. Under it, the level and the scheme it belongs to. Without a level the switch is not shown and everything counts against the whole course.
Toolbar. The ? explains the screen. The share icon makes a PDF of it (see PDF export).
Practise next
The one thing most worth your time. The app looks at your conjugation answers per tense, per person and per verb group, and names the weakest one that has at least 20 answers behind it and is below 80% correct — Your weak spot is the Pretérito Indefinido — 64 % correct. Tap it to drill exactly that: the tense, or the verbs of the group. Only tenses at your level are considered.
When nothing qualifies, a line says so: either you have not practised verbs yet, or everything you have answered often enough is above the bar.
Weakest words. Below it, up to six words at your level that you have answered at least three times and get right less than 80% of the time, weakest first, with each word's correct rate and number of attempts. Tap a verb to drill its conjugation; Practise all drills every verb on the list. Other words are shown for information only.
What I know
Which words you can actually claim. For each category — Verb meaning, Verb conjugation, Noun meaning, Other vocabulary and Phrases (the set phrases; the example sentences are practice, not words to know) — a bar splits the words at your level into three parts:
- known — your answers show you know it: about six correct in a row, more if picked or self-checked;
- learning — practised, but the answers do not show it yet;
- not seen — never practised in this category.
The split by category is deliberate. Knowing what poder means and being able to conjugate it are different skills on the same word, so they are counted separately: one number averaging the two would hide exactly the gap you want to see.
Tap a category for the words behind it: Known, best first, and Still learning, weakest first, each with its accuracy and how often you answered it, plus a count of the words Not seen yet.
Verb conjugation opens a screen of its own, with two views: By verb — for each verb, how many of the tenses you have practised it in are known — and By tense — for each tense, how many of the verbs you have practised in it are known. Beside each row, your accuracy and the number of answers; it is green when everything behind the row is known. Tap a row for the tenses of that verb, or the verbs of that tense, each known or not by the same rule as above.
Under the categories, Tenses practised and Verb groups met count how many of the tenses and verb groups at your level you have practised. Tenses practised opens Verb conjugation by tense: the tenses you have practised, with what you know in each, and under Not practised yet the tenses at your level you have not. Verb groups met lists the verb groups at your level, each ticked once you have conjugated one of its verbs — translating a verb does not meet its group — with your accuracy and the number of answers. Groups you met above your level are listed apart, under Above this level, and are not counted until you switch to Whole course.
Where I lose points
Your correct rate, split three ways. Each row shows the percentage — green from 80%, orange from 50%, red below — and the number of answers behind it.
- By exercise — per type of question (word meaning, article / gender, singular / plural, conjugation, …).
- By person — conjugation questions only, per grammatical person.
- By verb group — conjugation questions only, per verb group. A verb in several groups counts towards each.
Per tense is under What I know › Verb conjugation › By tense, with what you know in each tense beside your accuracy.
These views are diagnostic: they show where you lose points, so you know where to focus.
Over time
Charts of how your activity and results change. The switch at the top shows the last 30 days or All of your history; the arrows under it page back through earlier periods, and Today returns to the latest.
- Daily activity — answers per day as bars, and that day's accuracy as a line.
- Words known — how many words you know, over time.
"Known" means the same here as everywhere in the app. A word counts only when your record makes it reasonably certain that you get it right at least 60% of the time — about six correct answers in a row, more if you picked from a list or checked yourself, not a lucky three. The caption under the chart quotes the figure and how many answers the chart rests on.
Use it to answer am I getting better? — and to spot stretches where accuracy dips, often a sign that you have widened your selection too quickly.
PDF export
The share icon at the top of My Progress makes a Progress report PDF: the screen on paper, in the same order and counted against the same level or the whole course. A cover with the course, what the figures count against, the day you started, active days and streak; then Practise next, What I know, Where I lose points and Over time. It is offered to the share sheet, so you can save it, keep it as a record or send it to a teacher. It is generated on your device and uploaded nowhere. The icon is greyed out until you have answered something.
When to check it
You do not need My Progress every day. Good moments to look are:
- after a week or two of steady practice, when the grid and the charts start telling a story;
- when you feel stuck — Practise next names the weak spot and the weakest words, Where I lose points the categories;
- before widening your selection — check in What I know that the current material has stuck;
- when you have a specific suspicion ("I'm fine on -ar verbs and lost on -ir") — check it under Where I lose points, by verb group, rather than guessing.
