  • Would it be possible to add the o or a (don’t know how you call that in English, preposition??) in front of the words vocabulary ?
    So o berbequim in stead of just berbequim. Will be easier to learn

    • We’re looking into some options for adding info about a word’s gender, etc, so we’ll definitely consider this. 🙂
