[Course Forum] Russian 1 - 7 by Memrise

Wrong audio in Russian 1, Food. Egg яйцо. Male voice is ok.

Something like this from Russian 7 is also really annoying. At least there’s a slight difference, so I know that the Russian 7 ни ни goes with the comma-less English version (in spite of the comma in the Russian version). I don’t remember what level the other ни ни is from, but I certainly hope I won’t have to review it anytime soon.

The advanced nature of the grammar was really only my secondary concern. The primary issue is that the English translations do not match the Russian and that you are translating multiple Russian phrases with a single English phrase. This is confusing for the user, who simply has to guess which one you want (and to translate incorrectly in many cases). This is an issue throughout the courses, as you can see in the comments from other people.

Are you happy? Lvl 1. Ты счастлива? should be correct as well. Please add an alternative answer or extra information Are you happy? (male).

@MashaSh is on annual leave and will be back next week. Thanks for your patience.

Skinger, many thanks for your comment. There is only one ‘место преступления’ in the course, so it shouldn’t be presented twice in multiple choice. There might be a technical problem that needs to be addressed - our tech team will look into it. Thanks for pointing out the issue with ‘секрет’ and ‘тайный’ - it was fixed. Regarding the verbal aspects and short/long adjectives - we’ll make sure alternative answers are accepted for all of them.

Atikker, I’ve just checked the audio - everything seems to be fine. Can you please check it again and let me know if the problem persists.

Skinger, many thanks. We are looking into it.

Lasquires6d, thanks for clarifying. We are trying to fix it.

Atikker, thank you. Extra information is added.

Hi ElHeim, many thanks for your comment. We are looking into it.

Skinger, the ‘crime scene’ problem is fixed. Thanks for letting us know.

I installed the official Russian 3 course for French speakers on iOS 10 and I noticed all the translations and unit titles are given in English.

I don’t know whether this problem only affects Russian 1 - 7 or if it’s cropping up all across Memrise, but I’ve just started doing Russian 3 and I keep finding that when the answer is a phrase consisting of several words, and I’m being asked to recall the phrase one word at a time by clicking on the words that appear in it (I think this is referred to as a “Tapping test”) then it’s impossible to enter the correct answer.

What happens is that:

  • One of the buttons I have to click on contains more than one of the words.

  • In theory that shouldn’t matter and I should just be able to complete the phrase regardless, but when I have completed it then invariably the answer is marked wrong, even if the phrase is correct.

Note that this only happens when one of the buttons has more than one word (but in that case it always happens.)

You need to do something to fix this, or ask whoever can fix it to fix it, because it’s ruining the course.

Sofrankly, thank you for your comment. At the moment we don’t have an official Russian course for French speakers. But it will be uploaded very soon!

Hello, in Level 9 of Russian 1 for Spanish speakers, there is a mistake in the translation of the sentence “мне не нравятся яблоки”. The correct translation of that sentence is “no me gustan las manzanas

Hola, @Claudio_es:

Gracias por tu comentario. Tienes razón, hay un error en esa frase y ya lo he corregido. Muchas gracias por avisarnos del error. :slight_smile:

Saludos,

Hello,
There appears to be a level missing from Russian 1. It skips from level 7 (Being Human) to level 9 (Fuel your vocab: food). Are the levels simply mis-numbered, or is there a level 8 that has somehow been dropped?
I’m enjoying the course very much by the way - and I love the addition of videos!
Regards,
Phillip
