    Updated site contents have muddled things a bit - I did have section 2 complete, but now it has been rearranged, and I have to revisit it. Still, the updates are an improvement on an already good programme.
    Weird, it must be way down the list that they rearranged things because most of it looks the same to me. I do like the new option for completing a lesson to "legendary" and the change it makes to the lesson icon is nice for me since I like the color it changes to.

    Cerebrum123 A few vignettes from Galileo showing interesting responses by the professor and by the detective lady. Note what she complains about in the cafe.

    Nice find on the translation exercises in Ideas 2:
    その真理があなたたちを自由にするのです。

    A rookie police detective and a vaguely Sherlock Holmesish university professor. So far ガリレオ is proving a worthwhile watch.

    I'm like 99% sure I've heard her voice before. Also, I agree with you. It's hard to find music I like over here, but Japanese video games alone tend to have a ton I like. Then when you add anime the list gets even bigger.

    So, I tried the browser version on my phone. In Chrome it does seem to be working just fine. Apparently there is a version of the website that is optimized for phone browsers.

    We'll see how far I get. Thanks everyone.

    I use the PC version because I like being able to actually type my answers (and I hate typing on phone). The ads are barely noticeable.

    I use the PC version exclusively. If I tried to use the mobile phone version, the phone would make 5 minutes (maybe) before it wound up in the nearest rubbish bin.

    Free version, and I use adblock plus on my PC, so no ads other than their own reminder to try the paid version every now and then. That's pretty rare in itself.

    I'm using the free version. The adverts are no more disruptive than the poster's i.d. next to our posts. (except that they're in the right pane instead of the left). Quality of the lessons seems to vary a bit depending on the language being studied.
