Question about "Questions" / Dictionary function

[the Sine Painter]

I've been working for several days on starting a new language, and whenever I do SRS, I can never remember anything from the "questions" section. Is talking to NPC's, then doing SRS the intended way to learn these? I'm finding it difficult to remember when I have one possible opportunity to learn the phrase in conversation, then have no other chances to learn before getting it in SRS. Is there something I'm missing? Or is this the intended method of learning?

On a related note, I think the questions section of the dictionary would be helpful for doing a quick review. However, I've been finding this difficult because the formatting (specifically, the character limit) of this section makes it difficult to use as flash cards. For example, some of the questions appear as "What do you lo..."; "What is your pe..."; When is your bi...", and clicking on them to figure out the English question also reveals the foreign language translation. I don't know if it's possible to make the text scroll or something in the future, but I'd find that extremely helpful!

Thanks very much!

Hey - when you've done all the questions with an NPC then if you approach that NPC again you can re-ask them those questions. That or the dictionary (like you say) is the best way to recap outside of the SRS. But also as the questions are the same for each NPC you do naturally practice each one 16 times (one for each NPC).

You're also right that we should re-look at the font size / spacing / scrolling on the phrases in the dictionary!

Thank youuuu!
