Hi Josh, I just used the listen function for the first time. It was with my girlfriend to learn some basic sentences in French before we go there on our honeymoon. I wanted to thank you for this feature and tell you that we truly found it useful. We now know how to ask for directions or explain what we want to eat for breakfast. I know your probably very busy, but you should know there is a real need to run the listen query many times until you figure out how to pronounce the phrases.
I'm sure your working on some caching solution or file download option and just wanted to tell you it will make the tool much more useful.
