I am not sure if this intentional or not, but I found a cool feature of play it.
After doing a play it, the view goes back to the conversation transcript. If you fiddle with the playit check boxes, you can get the conversation transcript to display as it would in play it.
This means you can practice a problem phrase with either alternate words or all words omitted. I found this useful for repeatedly practising a phrase I have trouble remembering - particularly good for some of the long sentences that start to appear in levels 2 and 3 (in German at least).
