What is it?

“My Area” is your progress on one page: at the top what you should be paying attention to right now, below it the numbers for each trainer, at the bottom your messages and help requests. It is deliberately a page of its own and not a window laid over the app — so that it may grow downwards without running off the screen, and so that you have a proper way back.

You reach it through the 📋 icon in the header, through “My Area” in the sidebar, and through “More” on the home screen.

What do I see here?

Two levels, and the upper one matters more.

At the top: what to pay attention to

At most two points — not ten. A list that names everything says nothing. The points come from three sources, in this order of precedence:

Fresh mix-ups — what you have actually confused recently, for instance a genitive object taken for an accusative object.
Leaky forms — a form you usually get right, but not reliably.
Longest unseen — and only after a week. Warning you two minutes after the last card would be a warning without an occasion.

At most two candidates come from any one source, so that a single source cannot fill the list. Next to each point sit “Practise” and “Help”. Where there is no explanation for a point, the space stays empty rather than showing a button that leads nowhere.

Below: three collapsed rows

Grammar · Vocabulary · Forms. Every heading already carries an answer before you open it (“Vocabulary boxes · 412 words”) — a section whose heading shows only its name demands a click just to find out whether the click is worth it.

Grammar — your hit rate, then “What you have confused”, then “What you can identify reliably”. The section is called Grammar rather than Sentence Quiz because Unda and Turbo count towards it too.
Vocabulary — how many words sit in which box, with “Practise”.
Forms — one row per part of speech: verbs, nouns, adjectives, each with the number of new forms and its own “Practise” that lands exactly there.

At the very bottom are your messages, your help requests and “Report a problem”. The report button is the only one that is never collapsed: a route for feedback that has to be unfolded first is one nobody finds.

A mix-up is counted once — wherever it happens

This is the change beneath the surface that makes the biggest difference. Each trainer used to keep its own list; if you confused the same thing in the Sentence Quiz and in Unda, it showed up half-recorded twice and fully recorded nowhere. Now a mix-up is recorded once, no matter which trainer it happens in — and it remembers where it came from.

For you that means: whatever keeps slipping past you stands there as one point, with its full frequency behind it (“4×”, “3×”), and the help you are offered follows that — not the mode you happened to be in the last time it went wrong. On the home screen you meet the same points again in the “Practise your mix-ups” box.

Features

A page instead of a window — with a way back of its own; ESC closes it too.
At most two attention points, mixed from three sources, each with “Practise” and “Help”.
The handle preselects, it doesn’t start. “Practise” takes you to the selection screen with the area, the tense and the mix-up already chosen — you press start yourself.
Mix-ups across every trainer in a single reckoning.
Opening a section replaces a point at the top rather than removing it: the box becomes different, not poorer.
A steady right-hand edge — the values line up beneath one another so you can run a finger down them.

What does the support look like?

Every point carries two handles. “Help” opens the short explanation for exactly this mix-up — how to tell the two apart. “Practise” takes you to the place where you can practise it, with a fitting preselection: the area the point came from, the tense it occurred in, and the form concerned are all chosen for you. It does not start automatically, so that you can still change something first — the tense, for instance, or the guided mode.

What about the dyslexia support here?

The page is built for a narrow phone: lines wrap instead of forcing a horizontal scrollbar, and below roughly 420 pixels the buttons always get a line of their own — two lines per entry, never three. Labels break before the arrow (genitive object / → accusative object) so that you can read both sides of the mix-up without scrolling sideways.

The sentence parts keep their fixed colours, OpenDyslexic and the wider letter spacing apply here too, and the percentages have been checked for sufficient contrast in dark mode. There is no streak display and no daily pressure — the page tells you what you can work on, not what you have missed.

How do I learn here?

Technically: the attention points come from the same source and the same order of precedence that the Sentence Quiz draws on when it slips revision into your round. Display and selection therefore cannot drift apart — what stands at the top really is what comes next. Old accounts without a tense no longer count towards the balance, but they have not vanished either: they sit folded away underneath.

Scientifically: knowing what you can and cannot do is itself a skill — and one learners regularly get wrong: what read fluently is mistaken for what has been mastered (Koriat & Bjork, 2005). Feedback that points at the actual mistakes rather than at a feeling corrects precisely that misjudgement. That is why this page names mix-ups instead of handing out an overall grade — and why there are two points rather than twenty.

Common questions

Why doesn’t “Practise” start straight away?

Because you may want to set something first — the tense, the area, the guided mode. The handle makes the choice for you and takes you there; setting off is yours to do.

Why are there only two points at the top?

Because a list of ten building sites gets nobody practising. Two are a suggestion you can accept. Open a section below and another point moves up into its place — the box stays filled.

Does Unda count here?

Yes. What you practise in Unda moves your vocabulary boxes, your forms progress and the grammar figures. Only your reading progress stays with the reading library — Unda writes into everything that says something about a single form, and into nothing that says something about the text as a whole.

What does “· L15” after a form mean?

It is the highest sentence level at which you have identified this form correctly most of the time — at least three attempts, at least 70 % right. It says something about the difficulty of the sentences, not about how secure your box is; that is why only the number stands there and not the word “secure”.

Can my teacher see this page?

“My Area” is your own view of your own progress. What is passed on to the Officina dashboard under a school or teacher licence, and what stays purely on your device, is set out under Cloud & telemetry.
