Nor that it’s “ich will” and not “ich wille” with the regular -e ending for “ich” (ich trinke, ich habe, …).
See ? That’s my point, if this were in the Memrise course, I’d have remembered it. But it’s not, so I forgot about it!
Well you remembered the irregular verb form correctly 
The audio for “das Rentier” in level 115 sounds really wrong. Sort of French.
Fixed the audio. Marlene and Hans are not perfect (most of the time Marlene does a bit better job) but I know some tricks in the program that get them much closer to the target on those rare words that every now and then stump them.
It is a bit better but the stress is still wrong.
That is about as good as the computer audio is going to get. If I add two n’s and separate the syllables, I may get closer, but not at my workstation right now…
@BaSsGaz that’s not going to happen in this course because it will multiply the number of verbs by at least 10. A better way to do it is probably to include only the important forms, so for example wollen (http://verbformen.com/conjugation/?i=wollen) should include wollen, will, wollte, hat gewollt. But then again it will still multiple the verbs by 4 and the audio will have to reworked as well. So I doubt that it’s going to happen anytime soon.
@duaal @Geil I think that sounds good enough. Because it’s from French, it requires a French voice to make it sound perfectly French. Besides, it seems some Germans pronounce it like German: https://forvo.com/word/rentier/#de
I think you misunderstood. I meant the audio had a rather French pronunciation instead of German. Rentier does not come from French but from Norse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer#Name_etymology
And I already linked to Forvo.
Hello,
Any chance something can be done either distinguish between “die Rede” and “der Vortrag”? Or if they mean exactly the same thing to make them mutually acceptable? I’d greatly appreciate it.
Deutsch für Euch has a handful of lessons that conjugate irregular verbs, including wollen, sein, müssen, dürfen, siehen, laufen, and nehmen.

There are some plural words missing from the clothing tree, for example plural for ‘das Hemd’, ‘der Mantel’, etc… I’ve been tested about them in Duolingo, but can’t see them in Memrise course
Most plurals are not included in this course although ideally they should. Hopefully when I (or someone else) have a lot of spare time, those words could be added.
I have been using your course in conjunction with Duolingo - learnig the words here first, then working through Duolingo (Dolingo doesn’t do a whole lot to help actually learn the vocabulary - like the repetition and various ways te words are presented here). And, I also appreciate the effort taken to make this course. I have not done all of the previous 89 levels (maybe about half of them) and they have all seemed to be fairly comprehensive in including all the words, but I note that your level 90 only includes 4 words, while the corresponding Duolingo level has at least 35.
Were all of the other words previously presented??
Yes they were.
I’d like to suggest a correction to Level 59, for the word meiste both dict.cc & langenscheidt corrects me when I try to write meiste, “Did you mean meist?” meiste seems to be an adjective suffix -e ending instead of learning the base word meist
Thanks, fixed.
I think one tricky thing with superlative adjectives such as meist- is that they’re rarely if ever seen in their base form, so it’s a bit theoretical.
They can’t be used on their own as predicative adjectives (No *Dieser Baum ist größt or the like), for example.
