On a related note, I would also like to see only one small answer tested for in foreign language cards in general so my preference would be to test for either the foreign word, foreign word's native language meaning, or the foreign word's pronunciation, but never test for more than one fact as many small facts are learned much more quickly than one large fact.
So the revised foreign language card would look more like this if you include pronunciation:
Q: foreign word
pronunciation
meaning 1
meaning 2
meaning 3
A: meaning 4Q: foreign word
pronunciation
meaning 4
meaning 2
meaning 3
A: meaning 1Q: meaning 1
pronunciation
meaning 4
meaning 2
meaning 3
A: foreign wordPlease note that this kind of learning is already conveniently implemented by way of cloze deletion cards.

An error occurred while saving the comment If there were some way to match the practiced stroke order, starting stroke position, ending stroke position withing a grid for instance, with the proper stroke order and proper positions that would be very useful.
Perhaps the following could be implemented for the scratchpad: The user is asked to click on a square grid (would 10 X 10 work?). Each click represents points of a stroke where the direction of the paintbrush changes. Another click to a point that was just created would signify that the brush should be lifted so to speak. The question should be the English word with Chinese pinyin I think as there is little else that could be used to direct the user to the right answer w/o giving the user the answer.
But a much simpler way to implement this scratchpad feature would be to allow users to write each stroke on a series of empty grids and compare to the proper strokes by then overlapping the user supplied and correct drawings of the strokes in their proper order and then allowing the user to make a judgement call of right or wrong.
The scratchpad feature is probably best implemented as a plugin right?

Peter, when you were "spelling it out more detail" does the answer card have two fields or is there a third field like a notes field that specifies the incorrect synonym? I don't understand the "one way" reference. Does that mean one question has multiple answers per question in this suggestion and cloze deletion has many questions/answer pairs?
I'm trying to imagine how a person would study a word like "up" in English (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/up), since it has so many different contextual meanings
The complexity of the word could be partly addressed by asking for the meaning of a particular word per context (computers, machines, nautical, etc.).
I don't understand why this would be an improvement (perhaps because I don't really understand the new card type) over existing card types.
[word 1] or [word 2] is written [foreign word] and pronounced [foreign pronunciation] when used in [context]
If I use cloze deletion am I prohibited from also adding sound files?
