Hey guys, hope this is a good place to post a simple but powerful feature request.
I’ve been loving memrise for the last two months. The repetition and reviewing works so well to commit new knowledge to memory, but I get so frustrated when there’s an item on a course which I already know well, I still have to go through all the repetition and reviewing. It wastes so much time which could be spent on new learning.
For example, I want to be able to identify all the flags of the world. Great, there’s a memrise course for that. It would work well for someone who knows no flags at all. But obviously I know quite a few already and I really want to learn the ones I don’t know. I gave up in the course when I was continually asked to repeat flags I least know - like the one for my own country.
All you need to do, is the first time a new item is introduced give the option to skip learning it. Perhaps it could just test you on it once to make sure it wasn’t a mistake, but after that it never gets repeated or reviewed.
I think this would speed up users who already know a little bit of a subject massively.
I’ve just finished the German 3 course and was considering taking the ‘5000 most common German words’ course but I’m sure I already know hundreds of them and can’t face the repetition.
I’m sure this would be a simple feature to implement and as a paying subscriber I wouldn’t mind if you made it a pro feature.
Thanks for reading and thanks for the app 
Tom
