Hi… Redesign is awful and bad for the eyes… Does anyone know some good websites similar to memrise but which you will be able to use without difficulties and eye pain? Ankii isn’t half as useful as memrise, so now I can’t see anything good for learning words since it’s too hard to use Memrise D:

Most of the other threads don’t go very much into viable alternatives, so it seems like a valid reason for a new thread.
I’d be interested to hear ideas as Duolingo, which I used before Memrise, doesn’t have Arabic and neither do some of the other apps I’ve looked at so far. I’d love to get some recommendations of good alternatives that include Arabic and aren’t off-the-wall expensive.
Have you tried decks.memrise.com? If you’re doing an official course, you can bookmark the course learning link from the main page then change “www” to “decks” in the address.

thanks! Gotta try it.
Duolingo isn’t for learning words and pretty dead, unfortunately.
it’s less eye-pain but still a lot of it

memoration is only an APP D:
Dead how? I still find it a very useful companion to Memrise, but you’re right, on its own you can’t pick up enough vocab.

In many courses moderators do nothing. They don’t correct mistakes in the sentences, many courses are marked as done and complete, but they don’t have enough content. Like Japanese, when you can the whole lesson learn just two sentences. Again and again and again and… And moderators more likely don’t even read bug reports and forum topics. And the situation is similar to Memrise in some way: they care from time to time about the iOS/Android app, but they never care about the website.
Also, useful features like pronunciation tasks and translate-the-text-with-community thing are gone for good.
In many courses, they have terrible audio. Like in French, when the male voice says /ynə/ instead of /yn/, /ui/ instead of /wi/, /tiː/ instead of /te/ etc. There are discussions about it, lots of bug reports send, but Duolingo just doesn’t care. Many of finished courses have only a very few grammatical commentaries.
I do love Duolingo, it’s still a decent way to learn basics. But only with other websites like forvo.
I’ve lodged many many reports about issues with the Duolingo Japanese course. But I do actually regularly get emails saying my suggestions have been accepted as valid answers. There are some strange lessons that seem to be a bit pointless, but it’s a small price to pay for what’s a pretty great app/service for something you get for free.
BTW the ability to suggest alternative answers (I just suggested “夏には服を脱ぎます” for “I take off my clothes in the summer”, when it was rejected) would be an awesome feature to have in Memrise.
Well, I got lots of my crowns on Japanese course learning one sentence over and over. It supposed to be “harder” but…

Yeah, that’ll be really helpful.
