I'd like to close accounf on this website, but couldn't find information about it. how can i do it?

@wendy: When you mouse over any audio icon, the icon should turn to green (from gray). It indicates the audio is loaded successfully. If you have tried more than a few audio icons and none of them turns green, it probably means your browser has Javascript disabled. Otherwise please double check your speaker/volume of your computer.

I click the audio icon and I waited for so long but I still can't hear anyting. How to solve this problem. Any suggestion. Please help. Thanks

@anonvip: thanks for the suggestion, and I have been thinking how to set anything up so that everyone can contribute, say, some youtube links to some drama/songs. Please let me know if you have any more ideas about this.

@Iris: Do you mean you cannot read the Asian characters on the site? If that's the case, please follow the instruction (on the right) to install Asian fonts on your computer. And yes, you can do audio recording, please try it out on the home page.

Or do i just need to look for some help online?

I can't really read the word's. Do you still do the AUdio's for language online?

Hi. Thanks for the fast reply. And yes, I think the search function is the most needed feature that is currently lacking. Also, I think the site can look at the entertainment side--who doesn't want to learn a phrase or two from a favorite foreign film? :p

@anonvip: I don't have a search function for the site yet, and it's definitely one of the most important things I need to add to the site! I will need to add a "How to say...?" section for users to add their own phrases too. Thanks for letting me know your concern, will definitely work on them.

Great site with huge potential. Maybe it's just me... I can't seem to find a search function where I can go to a phrase's page to either learn or to offer help on that particular phrase... So far I only see that there are existing phrases that can be expanded but I can't add my own phrase... and of course, please tell me where I missed with the search function lol.

@Richard: yes, I know what you mean... I am implementing an interface so that members can add different morphological forms of a word in the vocabulary section (It is especially important for Japanese and Korean, and maybe English too). At the same time, as SayJack is a language learning platform, all members can add contents to the site, one day I hope some member will add a set of Korean vocabulary sets with the honorific forms in it, so everyone can use it to learn. Anyway, thanks for your comments! Please keep telling me what you think about the site, anything would be helpful. :-)

Great! Also, in the Korean section the verbs seem to be given only in dictionary form, and not in 해요체 (eg 해요) or 합쇼체 (eg 합니다) forms, which you probably know we are most likely to use in speech.

@Richard: I will definitely put your suggestion to my to-do list for the site. Thanks!

Hi Lap! Great site! I'd like a discussion board where we can discuss individual university language programs (eg Yonsei, Sogang, Tsinghua, Shida, Yokohama, etc).

@maggie: I found a glitch... to prevent users from logging on or even signing up for a new account... that happened when more than one language version of the site (e.g. English and Chinese) was viewed previously. Anyway, it has been fixed, and please try to log on again. Very sorry for the confusion caused.

@maggie: I am not aware of any problems with the website, other users are logging on OK. How about you send an email to password@sayjack.com using your registered email address? I will send you instructions to reset password. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

i tried logging in and i can't. and i'm sure i have the right password and username. i logged in last week just fine. is something wrong?

@matthew: I am hoping I can get the site back to 100% in a month. To prove that I have been working hard, I added the language exchange feature back to the site a few days ago, and I just added our Japanese alphabet trainer today. Check it out? :)

when will the site be back up 100%?

Dear sir, Hello. My name is Sujeong Shim from bab.la online multi-language portal company. (http://ko.bab.la) I came to this website while looking for Korean studies. I noticed that there are a lot of very nice resources related to Korean language on this page. I also noticed that the language learning program is under repair now. Though it has good Korean dictionaries, I want to recommend our Korean dictionary to link to your page under the Encyclopedias and Dictionaries when you update this site. Bab.la, which is located in Hamburg, Germany, is an internationally renown online language company. Different from other dictionaries, if offers not only dictionary service but also quizzes, lessons, and forums related to languages and cultures without costs. For the purpose of education and entertainment, bab.la wants to suggest our dictionary widget and backlink to your website. Please take a look at it and let me know you are interested in. Have a good day Sincerely yours. Sujeong Shim (sujeong@bab.la)

Would you please shoot me an email (support01@sayjack.com) or send me a facebook message to let me know your account details? I am sorry if you can't get to your profile but I will recover it for you.

Hi. My profile no longer exists on SayJACK after the site was upgraded.

Nicholas, use Anki or Mnemosyne. They're great programs for creating digital flashcards.

is the software you use on this website open source? what is the name of the software you use? i would love to use it to learn another language (Slovak) because it takes the time, paper and bulk out of making flash cards.

When adding detailed information to a Japanese vocabulary card, the kanji won't stick beyond the learning session during which it's entered. Am I missing something, or is it bugged?

I can't submit anything with the recorder. It shows up fine and I can record, stop, play. However, when I try and send it either says that my action requires sign in or that an error occurred and I should make sure that I am signed in. I'm pretty sure I have Java and Flash installed and that JavaScript is turned on. What should I do?

sorry but i want to learn about korea language and translate by english

dear members, sorry it takes so long to develop the website, i still have a few things i want to implement before saying the site is all ready. (thanks for being patient...) in the mean time please feel free to ask any questions, or tell me what you think about this site! thanks, --Lapinski

I would like to edit my vocabulary flash cards. I made a mistake on two of them when I entered the data.

잘했어요.이 웹사이트를 정말 좋아해요.만들어줘서 고맙습니다! (^_^) ~ 레이첼

How can I decide the language to quiz? (e.g:change from japan quiz to korean quiz)

how are I add languages partner?

I can't see the recorder.. I have Java installed already. and I can only see a box with a red x. hmm don't know what to do..=(

i'm having a problem with the vocabulary lists. two that i have created have disappeared, and when i go back to My SayJack, it says i haven't created any yet. any suggestions?

I absolutely love this site.

I like the way things work on this site. I'm only having issues with changing my profile info, but that's not a big deal yet.

love this site!! is there a way to edit the vocabulary list? also, can i continue to add to a vocabulary list?

For Chinese Language vocabulary cards: Need either pinyin or sound clip for vocabulary. Just seeing the characters doesn't tell you how to pronounce them properly. Adding each vocabulary word's part of speech would be helpful too.

Not hearing the word sounds in the Chinese Pinyin first quiz. My sound settings are correct and I can hear the vocabulary sounds just fine. Help?

u can add the b-p-m-f characters in too

can you make the characters larger? I can't see the strokes and differences between the different characters when they are small?

it said when you put your full name to sign up, that you would be able to change it later to a nickname, but i can't figure out how to do it. it can't be done.

Why can't one change their native language or hometown info? I know most people won't change that, but if you screw up, there's no way to remedy it

I am having trouble recording, as in the recorder doesn't show at all. I have jave runtime 1.6 perfectly well installed and enabled in my firefox. Any idea what is going wrong?

i like this website, but where i can find other language exchange partners?

Interface looks great! And it's XHTML/CSS all right!

Great work on the site. I found that when I'm using recommended I can't find the pronunciation as well as the English equivalent. I also can't find a Kanji alphabet for Japanese. Is there one that I'm missing?

how about online chatting to practice the language? perhaps through skype?

Just want o say that this great. Thanks for your effot in creating this site. Keep up the good work.
