I agree with everyone here: The new interface is total crap. To me, it seems as if none of the people in charge actually use this site, as it gets worse and worse. Please, please, please: Go back to normal! Or let us at least have the choice.
Forgool, can I transfer courses as a whole to anki? If yes, how?
no, not at all, my visual memory is not as good as it used to be in childhood. I have a trained memory and know how to learn The advantages of an old-fashioned type of school as a child. I do not always have the necessary time and conditions, taking into account that the functioning of memory changes with the age.
I had a good learning tool with memrise, until some very young and unexperienced devs started to disrupt constantly my learning… I don’t get it how they can claim one can learn Chinese or anthing else by re-ordering jumbled words…
Hi @Dikdik_S,
yes you can transfer courses to anki. I kept my own courses in an excel-based format from the beginning because I always feared something like this could happen. It took me some time to get those courses to work exactly as I wished in anki but now I’m glad I made the effort. You can place more information on the flashcard than in memrise - way more flexible in that respect. Up to now I already dabbled with audio and image-based courses as well (made a birdsong course with pictures here which I now took down because of the recent events). I have no experience with languages outside the latin alphabet though. And anki even provides an add-on that helps import courses from memrise. Not quite easy to use either I guess but should work.
I agree with everyone here. I have been using memrise for over four years now and have loved every bit of it. Now it’s impossible for me to study chinese with this new update. Reorder characters… are you kidding me? And if I input words with ㄅㄆㄇㄈ it automatically determines if the characters are correct before I press enter. This causes the characters to REAPPEAR on the next word so I have to keep deleting every time I get to a new word.
It is awful. Keep the web version how it used to be! It’s not an app!!!
UPDATE 5/25/18
I come back and check on the functionality of memrise with respect to the above every couple of months or so. IT WORKS! Thank you. Thank you. BPMF now does not reappear as stated above. Everything is smooth in terms of typing with zhuyin.
I recommend searching Memrise for a course on Reading Comprehension because no one has been complaining about aesthetic changes. The changes have been to functionality.
Count me in as a person who really dislikes the new update. When I look at my home page, I want to know what I have to review. This way, I have to go into each one in case there is something to review.
This interface is the reason I removed Memrise from my phone.
Please go back to the older way. There are good reasons that the app version is disliked.
