Dang, I see what I did- digit versus math
Pretty sure this one isn’t me being dense, (unlike the last one! すみません！)
Japanese 3 (with script), level 15, “Peace Offering”
There seems to be a disparity between the number of words in the lesson, and how Memrise knows the lesson is complete. In the screen shot below, notice that it says 13/15, but there are only 13 entries below (sorry it’s cut off). I haven’t been able to get the level to mark as complete.
Hi @Yashkashyee,
Yes, you are completely right! I cannot agree with you more! The future courses we are working on now will be more coherent in teaching progress. Hopefully we can bring them to you very soon.

Hi @jonbspeck37,
Thanks for reporting this, I think our dev team fixed this recently. Could you try logging out and in again to see the updates? Please do let me know if the problem persists!

Checked for updates, and logged out and back in and still saw level 15 as 13/15.
It’s not preventing me from progressing, but if I use the ‘Learn New Words’ button, I get an 'Error loading lesson popup, and just manually browse to the lesson I’m working on.

I’m wondering this too. The study time in total needed to complete the Memrise courses is 47 hours on average. The official time needed to study for JLPT N5 is 150 hours (from Japan Educational Exchanges and Services, 2007). But I see a lot of people saying that this is also too little time.
I’ve run into 2 previously reported issues:
- Japanese 3 Level 15 Peace Offering shows 13/15 despite having only 13 words. This happens only on the Android app. Web shows correct number.
- Both on web and app, the final word count for Japanese 3 is 634/635, after having finished all levels. This obviously means that Memrise doesn’t mark the course as complete and that’s an issue for me.

Excuse me but has anything new been implemented?
Sadly our current course is not based on a Syllabus for JLPT at the moment. Our future versions are planned to cover Japanese Grammar in a better way, though.

Hi @TheoLerner,
Sadly not yet. There are other modes like Kanji modes we are working on first… sorry for the wait

There is an actual bug with hiragana: ぴ transliterated as BI instead of PI (it seems to me it is sometimes BI and sometimes PI in the audio, but I’m not too sure about that).
Hi, thank you for flagging this. This is now fixed. You can log out and log in again to see the updated version.

Hi @Weeb_Jew90,
I’m sorry for the brutal testing of Kanji in our courses. At the moment we are still in development for a good MODE to teach these script. The app cannot teach the Kanji very well at the moment. The reason why we have written out things in Kanji, despite the painful lack of script mode, is so that you will see Japanese how you will see them in Japan. But we are improving this part and hope to deliver a much better course to you very soon! So watch this space:)
If you are keeping a written record of what you are learning (by the way, so committed!!), I recommend writing down in Furigana but also adding a memo of the Kanji as well. It is useful to be able to recognise words written in Kanji.

Okay thank you so much!
I appreciate the help.
In Japanese 3, section 25 I noticed something that, contextually, seems incorrect. The final thing you learn is “最後” and it is described as “last time.” From what I can tell, it actually just means last (final), and to make it “last (final) time,” while I’m no expert, I’d expect you’d need a 回 in there somewhere. In context of the module as well, the last time we’d be expecting would be last (previous) time, not last (final) time, given that the previous entry was next time, and unless I’m mistaken that would be 前回 (ぜんかい).
Also in Japanese 3, Section 19, 教えます has no audio associated with it.
Hi there,
Found a bug in Japanese 2 (English) where there’s no “learn with locals” videos yet.
When the app switches to “Next: learn with locals” it starts an endless loop. To exit the loop you need to choose manually another review method.
Cheers
Question from @SgtOddball:
Problems with the Japanese Memrise Course Chatbot and Grammarbot.
regarding Chatbot and Grammarbot which are trying to teach things that nowhere near in the main course yet and an option “Resume Chat” which isn’t in English.
