Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

I need this feature!

Hi,

I'm really looking for a way to be able to practice the example sentences that are provided by skritter.

I am studying with a private teacher and every lesson I export and print out the words that I haven't yet studied and we go through them together. I wish I was able to do the same thing with my chosen example sentences.

Regards,
Funchinese

Copy/paste?

Interesting suggestion--we'll keep that one in mind when we do the example sentence system upgrade. I think that the way we're planning on doing it should lend itself easily to exporting.

An upgrade to the example sentences could make it much better I think. When do you plan to do this?

It's one of a few features at the top of the list for after the iOS app is done.

Back to the original topic, on a related note, could this include import as well? I'd love it if the example sentences I study are automatically taken from a paragraph or dialogue that I'm studying in class. How hard would it be to import some sentences and automatically assign them to the words they contain?

if you're running android you can already use normal skritter on your browser, works perfectly fine for me

Yes, I would think it nice to be able to assign personal sample sentences the way we assign mnemonics.

By the way, can't remember if I've plugged Jukuu http://jukuu.com/

recently, but this is a great site for checking word usage and getting sample sentences for a given word or phrase.

@juanda2009 does it work perfectly fine when you don't have the internet readily available?

Your example sentences would be helpful for me if they were less complex and more practical. I've stopped using them.
