Hello,
many of the words in this course have audio and I wondered why I can’t practice the Listening skills. I thought that to automatically “unlock” the option, all words must have the audio, but recently I found out that it’s a feature that has to be enabled by the creator (or anyone with the acess to editing the course). It’s in the Edit course -> Details -> Audio mode enabled. This course is great and I (and probably many others) would appreciate the possibility to practise the listening skills! 
What do you think of it?

I tried your suggestion “It’s in the Edit course -> Details -> Audio mode enabled.” but could not find a button or switch for “Audio mode”.
Sorry

That’s strange… It should be a little checkbox right above the Save button. Here’s how it looks in one of my courses:
I could be wrong, but I think only the course creator can see (and check) the checkbox you circled.
And it’s not visible to course contributors - so they won’t be able to check the box.
Oh, that’s it, probably. I’m not sure how to contact the creator directly… So hopefully he’ll read this someday 
Hi, it looks like the course’s creator, @ponchoosh, is not subscribed to this forum site (the name would ‘light up’ in grey if he were). And probably the only way forward would be to contact him through the Memrise staff, or to request that Memrise staff switch on Audio mode. So, let’s give this a try…
Hi @memrisesupport, please could you consider switching on ‘Audio Mode Enabled’ for this Memrise community course?
*https://www.memrise.com/course/47049/5000-words-top-87-sorted-by-frequency/
Doing this will likely increase Memrise revenues, as Audio mode is only available to learners who have a paid Memrise subscription. (Note: this course has 23,223 existing subscribers.)
Thank you for considering this.
Sorry but I do not seem to have such a button and I do have the “Keys” for “5000 German Words”.
I do not seem to have such a button and I do have the “Keys” for “5000 German Words”. I would like to have such an option on “All German Words (with Audio)”. If anybody her is in contact with Key-holder for that program, please ask him to Enable the Audio Mode.
Thanks Ian! I’m not sure if the Memrise staff is allowed to interfere with community-created courses in this way but at least they could contact him via email.
In level 12, the Haus entry should be: der Haus; -"er
to indicate that there is an umlaut in the plural. Thanks!
“oben” is repeated in level 18 and level 146
This should really be “das Haus, die Häuser”!
When trying to learn new words, the course doesnt remember that i already learned the words. When i click on ‘learn new words’ i have to repeat the same words over and over again. Already learned the same 5 words 20 times and nothing changes.
I’ve added the quotation mark to the plural form of das Haus, -"er, to denote that the plural form is umlauted.
Does anybody know of a Kindle German dictionary based on definitions from dict.cc ?
I don’t, and I don’t know whether or not you can install Android apps on all Kindles (I have a Fire tablet). But in case that’s possible:
I would highly recommend https://dict.leo.org/. It’s free and includes not only dictionaries for various languages (all German <-> [whatever]), but it also includes countless discussions that have proven to be very valuable to me. I’ve been using it more or less daily for at least 15 years …
There’s an Android app (not sure about iOS) and if you create an account, you get a history which (I think!) syncs across devices.
If you can’t install it on your Kindle: there is also a mobile version of the website, in case you have access to a browser.
Hi Olaf
I do use dict.cc on the web several times a day, and love it. I also have their Android app on my Android phone and use it to save those definitions I want practice on. What I would really like now is the ability to use my German dictionaries, along with a dict.cc based dictionary, on my “colored” Kindles. I enjoy reading on my old black and white Kindle, and then being able to see the translation by just tapping the German word that I do not know. I’ve read that it is possible to construct a German dictionary based on dict.cc, that is Kindle readable, but the task is too challenging for me.
Thank you for responding
Leland
Oh, I was a bit slow on this one. Of course you’d like to integrate a dictionary in a way that you can just tap a word to get its translation. Sorry if I had been misleading! Just for your info: there’s dict.cc and there’s Leo, they’re not the same thing, albeit the URLs are kind of similar!
I found one mistake, in the card for das Wort, the plural is written as -er, it lacks the umlaut.
I added the umlaut symbol for the pluralization to “das Wort”.
