    This simple lesson made so much sense to me! After trying for years to understand Japanese sentence structure, I feel a little more confident now thanks to those oranges.

    Thanks for your feedback Hannah! We're just creating some new lessons right now and have discussed integrating speaking or a "repeat after me" section. If you check out our Mandarin lessons, they do something similar. It'll be released soon on Curious but here's a sample: http://chinesevideocast.com/LearnChineseOnline We'd love to do writing in the future as well.
