Wow thanks for the exclusive images of Hack 2.0 Daniel!
Very excited to see what you’ve been working on. I know you’ve dug incredibly deep to make this a special update.
All the best and look forward to seeing/hearing more

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I’ve stopped giving expected release dates as I’m famously poor at predicting timelines!
Very excited!

Waiting patiently 
I came across this sentence example for 间接 and wondered if the 了 is in the correct spot.
他通过朋友间接了解到这个消息。
He indirectly learned about this news through a friend.
Thanks in advance for replies!

just my humble attempt: isn’t it liao jie?

Still patiently waiting for the biggest SRS update ever seen to Chinese language learning, Daniel 
Oh, you’re right, it’s 间接了解到 where 了 is part of 了解. How dumb of me not to realise. Thanks, Sonja.
Been using it for a couple of weeks and right now, Hack Chinese is good to me because it has all my text books and as I progress I can download each new lesson’s vocabulary. So, that’s great.
But… in order really to know a character I need to be able to write it.
At least all of HSK3. For HSK4 I may do as everybody does nowadays it seems and take the exam from a centre with computers. Mmmm…
I don’t like writing on screens, it’s always a bit crap. In my experience, the smallest deviation and the software refuses to acknowledge the character.
I understand Hack Chinese doesn’t offer that option anyway, or does it?
Most useful for me is whether the flash cards can just show the pinyin + meaning. Then I have to write the character on a piece of paper. Then the platform can reveal the character and I can check whether I got it right.
Is that a function and I haven’t spotted it yet?
This is what would make Hack Chinese perfect in my eyes.
Otherwise I have to hide the hanzis in my textbooks and write them just based on the pinyin above the sentences, but soon my books won’t have any pinyins anyway. So it will get harder to test myself.
Soooo… here’s me wishing…

I think the option at the bottom “Learn Pinyin Only” might be what you are looking for, Pascale?
Also, even if your textbook no longer has pinyin, if the textbook is in Hackchinese’s book list, then the pinyin will automatically be shown. I guess it’s because the word is already in the Hackchinese database. I’m not sure but I think the words are drawn from a commonly used online dictionary, because I often find that the set of meanings of a word are the same as, e.g. Zhongzhong. But I might be thinking of HSKLevel there. If your textbook isn’t in the book list, then the words have to be manually entered but they’ll still be sourced from that dictionary, I suspect. Daniel might have some more insight on this.

Thank you, I will try this trick!
It’s quite hard to get hold of @Hack-Chinese-Daniel
isn’t it?
I’m a recent subscriber and it would be nice to be able to ask questions to the makers and get answers. Some functions are confusing, for instance why can I queue some chapters of my book (The Road to Success) and not others?
I would like to have all chapters from one (Road to Success) book into one big list so I can test my knowledge on those 250 ish characters, but it seems that I would need to do that manually which sounds very long and tedious… but I may be missing a trick
More importantly, I’m spotting mistakes and I need to find a quick way to report them every time.
Are you there, Daniel? How can I let you know that the wrong word is included in a chapter list? especially when it’s a typo that leads to a big mistranslation :
战 线 instead of 占线 ! 
not quite the same meaning…

Hi @Pascale-Mandarin_Simplified_HS !
Your queue is for prioritizing which unstudied words to learn first.
So, only lists with unstudied words can be added to your queue. If you don’t see the ‘add to queue’ button on a list, it means there are no unstudied words left in that list.
If you add a list to your queue, and then study all the words in it, that list will drop off your queue – unless it is a personal list that you’ve created (because those lists may see new words added by you in the future).
If you’ve already studied all the words in a list, those words have become review words – each of them coming for review on their own review schedule according to your performance with each word individually.
The UI for this is confusing, so we’ve changed it a little in the upcoming version of HC.
The fastest way to report errors for now is to email me [email protected] .

We are hoping to launch the beta (for those who pre-registered for it!) this Friday!

Nice, nice, nice!!
Hi Daniel,
I really love the new version 2.0 
One question:
How do we ask for adding new words now?
Hi Sonija,
Thanks! We haven’t “advertised” the upgrade yet, as we are still working through bugs. One of them, as you’ve noticed, is that new words aren’t able to be added. We’re working on it! Keep checking /updates for more information!
Once we feel ready, we’ll make a big post here listing all the fun changes.
Daniel
