Frustrating interface, great idea – Imparare inglese (Italiano) Review

The depth and robust vocabulary is great, but the drag-the-blocks interface to spell the words is frustrating. This is a variation of the standard flash card spell-the-word correctly in the other language, which I applaud for inventiveness. But it doesn't really work. You can't just drag the blocks easily in to place. They spin and roll and bounce, so you spend time trying to get the interaction to work, like a game, rather than concentrating on the word. You get points for how quick you solve the flash card game, so for longer words it takes more time to arrange the blocks to spell the word. Not fair. Not sure what they are trying to teach -- dragging the blocks or the meaning of the words.
