Seedlang also has a curriculum design (and one that I think makes more sense).

> My main wish from Duolingo is some kind of lesson I could go into that just grabs questions from old lessons with words/phrases you haven't done in a while. It's a little too easy to get into the swing of a unit where the words are fresh in your brain's cache, but having them pulled out of nowhere would makes sure you've actually got them locked into your memory

Seedlang does this too. There's a gigantic library of all the exercises and you can go through them and put them in your review lists. Each time you review an exercise, you rate the exercise as 'hard' or 'easy', and depening on the rating, that exercise will then show up more or less often in the future. Eventually if the interval gets to be a year long, it'll give you the option to retire an exercise.

Each time you do a lesson, it'll list all the exercises from that lesson and you can choose which ones you want added to your review queue. It's really nice. Lots of control over your own spaced-reptition needs.

> Also they should have a setting to disable word banks so you're forced to type everything.

Yeah definitely. Seedlang also does this btw!



I'll definitely be giving it a shot!
