I posted a topic a few weeks ago about the Japanese 1 chatbot and grammarbot attempting to teach me things that I’m nowhere near in the main course yet. I’m making a post in the course forum as this issue still hasn’t been fixed (see picture for an example).
I haven’t learnt the kanji used by the grammarbot and chatbot in the main course yet.
EDIT: Another example I just took a screenshot of:
In Japanese 3, level 38, when you hear the natives and course narrators say “私は洗濯するのが嫌いです” they say “洗濯をする” but that をis absent from what the user is asked to input. Something similar happens with 掃除します, in that the female narrator says “掃除をします” but the male narrator omits the を.
Another little thing, in Japanese 4, level 4, “遅くまで寝ます” is translated as “to have a lie in.” This is a very British phrase that doesn’t exist in Canada or the US, I actually had to look up its meaning. It’s just a style thing, but I think “to sleep in” would probably be more universally understood.
In Japanese 2, level 17 there were quite a few British-isms with the naming of the clothing as well. “Trousers” instead of “pants” (though I know “pants” in England means underwear), “jumper” instead of “sweater,” and “trainers” instead of “sneakers.”
I think having the American phrase maybe not replace, but be shown with the British one would help learners in Canada/America who aren’t familiar with British terms/slang.
It looks like you’re doing the courses for British English speakers. You probably should be doing the courses for US English speakers.
I had no idea there were different courses for the different dialects of English. Thanks. I feel a bit embarrassed now.
Only problem is I’ve made all my progress on the British English one. I’ll probably enroll in 5+ in US, but I’m not going to re-do 1-4 in US after having done them in British.
Yesterday, I found the new official course “Japanese 0”. I think he has a maximum of 2 weeks.
I decided to try, but I found a bug. Officially, the course has 207 words, but after finishing the course, it reports only 205 words. And because of this, the course appears incomplete. If you try to click the “learn” button, it says: “Whoops. Could not load the session. Sorry.”
I did some testing and I think I figured out the problem.
The lvl 1 has 13 words, lvl 2 = 52, lvl 3 = 69, lvl 4 = 60, lvl 5 = 13. Sum = 207.
In lvl 3, you learn the katakana’s “ra” and “ko”. But in lvl 4, those words appear again. So the system does not add these 2 words to the total because they have already been added. So we have: 13 + 52 + 69 + 58 + 13 = 205.
Hello @KanaTsumoto 
, I’m not sure if the post gets better here with you, or if I should have created a “web bugs” topic.
Hi @Milamy,
We’ll look into this asap. Thank you for reporting!
[Edit] Please log out and log in again to see if it works now.
Hi @kristoferjanke,
Thank you for reporting this! Please log out and log in again to see the corrected course.
Thanks!
Hi @SgtOddball,
Thank you for flagging this. This is actually a legacy content from our old course, we will either revise or remove this chat to fit the course content better. Thank you!
Hi, @KanaTsumoto. The “Japanese 0” course is working correctly. Thanks
There are now two “Japanese 1” courses for British English (I’m not confusing with the American version). And the picture is the same. Will the old one be disabled over time? Or will you keep both?
Old:
New:
Hi, the old one won’t be removed but the new users will be sent to the new one. The new course is completely different from the old one.
Thanks for the answer. I’ll try the new course 
Hi. In the new course of “Japanese 1”, level 3, there is an audio problem when learning the phrase: 人前で
In some cases, it uses the complete sentence:
人前ではだかになるのは、あんまり好きじゃないです
which is learned later.
For example:
during learning: incorrect audio
during learning (tests): sometimes correct others incorrect
during preview: correct audio
during review: incorrect audio (I did 2 tests)
Hi @Milamy
Thank you so much for reporting this! I have fixed the audio, it should be correct now.
Thank you!
Hello @KanaTsumoto. I’d like to ask you a question. The search page for Japanese courses for British English speakers (web version) has changed since the introduction of the “Japanese 0” course. Now it only shows 15 courses.
https://www.memrise.com/courses/english/japanese-4/
Previously, the page showed several courses (probably more than 100): 7 official courses (Japanese 1-7) and several created by users.
A week ago, it changed to 15: Japanese 0, Japanese 1 (new + old), Japanese 2-7, and 6 user-created courses (probably the most popular ones).
And a few days ago, also 15, but with: Japanese 0, Japanese 1 (only new), Japanese 3-7, and 8 user-created courses. Japanese 2 disappeared from the screen.
Is this a bug or a rearrangement that will be fixed after including the new Japanese courses?
In the Japanese language search page for American English speakers, all Japanese courses appear (of course, official Japanese courses are for American English speakers, but user-created courses are all there).

@Voylinslife also commented the same question in the topic:
Hi @Milamy,
Thank you for flagging this! It is now fixed and you should be able to see all the courses you’re supposed to see now!
Hello @KanaTsumoto. Thank you for your hard work
I finished the new Japanese 1 course and found some problems. In this course also, after finishing it, it shows that 391 words have been learned, but officially the course has 393. And so, the course appears incomplete.
The problem must be different from the previous course, because within each level, it shows the number of words of the level, and the sum is 391, which is the number of words learned. In the previous problem (from Japanese 0), the sum showed the official number of words. I also have not noticed repeated words (of course, as there are many words, I may be wrong).
Another problem is that the course shows that there are 11 levels, but in reality they are 10. This is shown both on the course page and at level 10.
Obviusly, you can not learn a lenguaje just in memrise. But the key is listen podcasts and watch videos.
“There is a bug in Japanese 1 lesson. It shows the hiragana for “ha” and the sound is “wa”. I also filed a bug report to memrise.”
Sorry to say that this is not a bug. The hiragana ‘ha’ is mostly pronounced ‘wa’.
Hi @Milamy,
Thank you for flagging this, and I’m sorry it took a while to respond, we had to dive deep for this one.
We are starting to see a solution for this, which hopefully will be delivered to your end very soon also.
Thank you for your patience!
