Memrise: Speak a new language

This app offer native beautiful Japanese people writing every symbol and pronouncing it, this is cool

Le contenu gratuit est extrêmement limité pour permettre de se rendre compte de la qualité de l’applli Comme si on te demandait d’acheter une voiture en te laissant la conduire seleument sur 2 mètres 😠

Une application très facile a utilisé et très vivante dans son interactivité

very good

I love this app, but since the latest update, the app is showing me the romanization of the language (Greek), which I do not want to see. It’s not giving an option to change this, and it’s showing this distracting line instead of showing me the Greek characters or the translation. It’s also saying I’ve added zero words to my total learned and started learning at the end of each lesson even though the numbers are going up, which is a little disheartening. I hope it gets fixed in a subsequent update.

This app is really good I enjoy it a lot however in the Korean version it’s telling me I’m getting an answer wrong even tho my answer and the “right answer looks identical, it’s really frustrating. Please fix this.

I really loved Memrise, best language app I’ve used, and I’ve been using it for two years. I’d been away for a couple months (life), then it was time to renew. I noticed a special deal so I bought the lifetime membership. Opened the app, and everything has changed, as others have talked about. And I can’t watch any videos. If I click on the Videos menu, the app crashes. Uninstalled, rebooted my phone, reinstalled, same problem. I contacted Support with details, and they wrote back asking for the same details I provided them. I replied. They wrote back asking if there was anything else they could do for me? (Huh?) I replied with the same information about the same problem. Since then it’s been crickets, even though I wrote them AGAIN, asking if they were going to help me. I guess not. I’ve now requested a refund, I hope I get it.

I think many people have chosen memrise because of community lessons and new versions don’t support that!

Compare this current app with the discontinued version that once merited my five stars. The app was defined by the community courses. The developers had done nothing to create them: it was the collective creative effort of a community of enthusiastic language learners. But thedevelopers took it upon themselves to remove those courses from the app. They keep answering that the community courses can still be accessed via web browsers. That is an illogical argument. For how is browser access going to make an iphone APP any better? This is a forum about apps, not websites. What kind of developer would advertise an app and expect it to be highly rated when its most important part is housed on a website? Answer: one who cannot withstand competition from the very community that made the app what it is, and chose to betray that community in pursuit of greater profit.

It’s alright to start a language out. I am trying to learn Netherlands/Belgium Dutch. After reviewing what I’ve learned and used the conversations part to use what I had learned, I showed it to two people I know from Netherlands and Belgium. My fiancé being from Belgium and our friend born and raised in the Netherlands. And they said the conversations part was teaching me wrong. When I asked in the conversation practice if blankets are on sale, instead of it saying, “ hebben jullie een dekbed te koop” it said this instead, “ hebben jullie een dekbed gekocht”. And both of them corrected what it was suppose to say. Another example on this practice conversation section: when it asked me how I will be paying I said in euro, because the app never taught me the word for cash. It then told me they don’t accept euros. Which is odd because this is suppose to be Dutch which is in Europe which would be euro for currency. It wanted me to say cash or debit card. But it never taught me the word for cash so my people over there had taught me how to say I want to pay in cash which is, “ik zou graag contant betalen” and I don’t recall it teaching me debit card because they don’t call it debit over there, they call it bankkaarten and another word. So this app needs some work on it still.
