Please bring back the progress bars

[winterpromise31]

The new website format is interesting. I like having the line by line audio on the lesson page without having to load the PDF.

But please, please bring back the progress bars! My first thought when loading the new website was, "what happened to my progress bars???" I know the individual seasons have progress bars but the overall ones are gone. I really liked the progress bars on the sidebar that show how you're doing overall. To me it was highly motivating to see that I had completed all of the intro lessons, all of the Absolute Beginner lessons, and am making very good progress toward completing the Beginner Lessons. Now I can't even tell what I've completed unless I load the individual seasons.

I know it's a minor complaint but to me the lesson tracking is now missing a huge motivator.

Thanks for listening.

I really like the new layout: it's much more concise and to the point, and all the various options seem to be easier to find.

I disagree with Cassandra, though ... the one thing I'm really pleased to see the back of is the progress bars for entire levels! There is now so much material on JapanesePod101 that I think most of us do three or four series at any given level and then move up, which, on the old version of the site, meant you were always seeing progress bars telling you you'd only done half of this level and a third of that level.

In my opinion, the new emphasis is the right one: I want to see my progress with the Japanese language, not my progress in podcast listening endurance!
