This tool is the worst. :( As an advanced Japanese learner, I had hoped I could use this to quickly import difficult articles - e.g., Wikipedia entries - for intensive study and vocab learning. I used the extension on the page for Botamochi (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%BC%E3%81%9F%E3%82%82%E3%81%A1) and imported it. The importer brought in only one section of the Wikipedia article, and truncated it at an arbitrary point. When I then tried to edit this import and manually copy the rest of the article over, it ended up LingQ-ing entire phrases instead of words. E.g., the phrase もち米とうるち米を混ぜたものを was highlighted as an entire "word" in LingQ. I gave up on the extension completely and went back to manually importing articles. This should really be yanked until they can get it right. |

This is such a great tool to have for picking apart phrases and words from Netflix shows. In general this tool works well, occasionally it doesn't recognize the subtitles when they're there, but if you refresh the page it starts working. Very pleased |

kind of frustrating. as with lingq in general there's a lot of issues with data/sync'ing and organising my data. so with the lingq importer, i generally want to import blog posts, news articles and general short reading material from the internet for learning spanish. but lingq importer doesn't seem to respect/understand that i have multiple 'courses'. 'courses' i guess are synonymous with folders. so i try to organise/categorise my reading this way... e.g. 'music', 'cooking', 'football' etc... the problem is when i create a new folder (course) using the lingq importer it doesn't show up subsequently. a lot of their functionality i've kind of just given up on and i simply use it as a quick reader + translator. i'm not sure it's worth the subscription honestly. |

LingQ should take inspiration from other services like vocabtracker and integrate the lingq vocab system into the page where the text is hosted instead of importing, so that formatting and images etc can be preserved. for now this is not very usable. |

I'm logged into Hulu, but when I try to import all I get in the lesson is the title "Select Your Plan" and the content "You may also like no hidden fees..." and so on. I get sales copy instead of actual show content. I also tried the firefox extension and got the same result. This doesn't work at all. |

It often takes about a minute to import a single page, and the process is aborted if I click to another window to do something else. |

Easy to use, very helpful to review and study subtitles in foreign languages. |
