As the title says; how do I change the course language to my preferred language if i have already started my course?
Example: I started the German language course in dutch. However, I want to change dutch into English so I can learn the German language through English translation, answers and vocabulary.
Hi @shazadakhtar2,
I donât think there is a way of doing that within the course (mid-stream).
I think you will need to re-start the course after first changing your âI speakâ setting in the course selection page:
Thank you for letting me know that i can change âi speakâ settings. i didnt know there was such.
However, i stil am searching for a method to NOT have to restart the course and lose everything.
Just to clarify, @shazadakhtar2, you would only lose things if you âre-startâ in the same language setting. If you just âquitâ the current course (in Dutch/German), your learning will be saved, although that course will be dropped from your dashboard. If you then start the same course (but in English/German), you will have to re-learn the words/phrases you already learned in the other course - unless you âignoreâ those items.

@alanh
Thank you for the clarification.
I do not want to redo the words i already have done.
I hoped there might be a way to keep the course progress and change the language.
This might be a handy feature for the future.
If you know a memrise team member that might find this helpful could you tag him/her?
Thank you for your help
Youâll find a list of the Forum team members under âAboutâ, behind the 
Good luck! 
Is there a way to change the language on my mobile (Android)? I canât find the âI speakâ box. I donât mind if I have to restart the course, there are just too many errors in my Italian version. 
If you go to the course selection list and click on the language you want to learn, you should then see an âor browse more coursesâ option. If you click on that, the next page will have âcourses for xxxxxxxx speakersâ where you can change the âxxxxxxxxâ to the language you want.
Itâs explained here: https://memrise.helpshift.com/a/memrise-learn-a-new-language/?p=android&s=getting-started&f=how-do-i-search-for-a-specific-course&l=en
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Thanks, Iâll try that!
I managed to select a different language, but for some reasons itâs not working. I get a message saying something like âYou canât see what you are looking for but the time will come, young apprentice etc. etc.â, which is wierd, because I am sure there are Japanese courses for English speakers.
Ooops, itâs working now! 
Sorry, I donât know what would have triggered that message. I donât use the app version very often (I prefer the web version) but Iâve heard of other people who have had similar messages to the one you got. Looking at my iOS app version, I can see Japanese 1, 2 and 3 for English speakers.
Anyway, it sounds like you have now got a Japanese/English course working now.
Good luck with it! 
Thanks, youâve been of great help!
No there isnât.
It keeps your old progress, even if you remove the course from the dashboard, but your progress canât be transferred to the new course.
You have to re-start from scratch.
Memrise works like DuoLingo:
Every L1-L2 course is itâs own unique course with itâs own source and target translations (if you want to call it: 3rd (auto) screen language).
The course authors have NOT added multiple source L1 columns for each possible language.
You can check the âLearn for ⌠Polyglotâ series from EasyAcademy which contains multiple L1 source translations for more than one language.
If you do not want to go through the 6 steps of planting, you can use Cooljingleâs user script âAuto-learnâ for those single words, which you do not want to completely ignore.
However, the script does not support that level-/course wise.
The Memrise web portal auto_grow / auto_learn old (own) features are long gone for normal course users / learners.
To use Memriseâs own auto_learn (for levels / full course) you need to be your own course creatorâŚor course contributor.
You could probably save your progress by using the the Memrise2Anki importer addon.
But you will be missing the new L1 English source language as note.
How many words have you learned? 2000? 5000?
I do not expect that there in an option in Anki to find L2 targets and merge two courses (decks) and multiple L1 source notes automatically for Dutch-German and English-German.
Anki is complex, can do fancy stuff, but I just stepped into reading the manual and forums the last 2-3 days.
You can try it out how L1-L2 notes to card mapping works in Anki for yourself and ask about the merging idea on the forum: http://anki.tenderapp.com/
Because of a SSL certificate verify error I was not successfully able to start the Memrise2Anki import for myself on my system.
Again: if you have not already finished learning
~3000-5000 words, all the investiment is not IMHO worth it.
I would NOT do it for the smaller offical Memrise 1-7 courses!
