Different levels of difficulty

Steven Broudy

Some people might be just learning French. Basic words are more relevant to switch.
For more fluent speakers, having harder words more-frequently highlighted would be great.
Maybe make people take a 5 min test on install, or be able to take it anytime to test competency?

This. Fluent needs this.

I wouldn't want to have to take a test — I think most people probably have a good awareness of their level of competency. I'd prefer to just have different options of difficulty and let the user select their preferred level. 
To add to this, it would be nice to have a "Learned" checkbox when hovering over a word that would make it so the word wouldn't be shown again. I keep getting easy words like "plus" and "beaucoup." I'd like to be able to mark a word like that as learned so it starts showing me new words I don't know. If that clutters the UI, I'd be more than happy to have a settings button where I can add the words I know so they won't be shown.
To take it one step further, a SUPER nice-to-have for French students would be to have a "Add Vocab Words" section in settings. This feature would allow you to add specific vocab words you've gotten in class and then Fluent would always show the French translation for those words so you can continually practice those vocab words throughout the week/semester. I bet anything schools/universities would pay for their students to have this. My university paid for much worse tools. I cannot think of a better way for students to get this sort of natural repetition. This would have been SO helpful for finals!
