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
Hello Philip, thank you for your comment. At the moment we are working on a new exciting feature that will appear between those levels and be available on mobile. The level numbering will be resolved very soon.
Спасибо!

Ah, OK thanks for replying - I will look forward to seeing the new feature.

Alternative answers in level 1 should be accepted. Where, for example, answers to “yes” and “no” are required to be given with Latin letters even though the browser shows the Cyrillic keyboard. Accept both answers!
[Edit] Oh great there are two different courses by Memrise with the same name and description… wonderful:

So, now I know the British call sneakers “Trainers”. Interesting, but it might be a good idea to include “sneakers” in the definition for кроссовки, since “trainers” is commonly used with a completely different meaning. This is in Russian 2. Peace!
Hallo Masha,
In Russian 2 Level 1 (for german speakers) does “на здоровье” really means “gern geschehen” (you´re welcome)? Is this the correct translation?

yes, “на здоровье” is a correct translation for “you are welcome”. Maybe it is slightly less common these days than “пожалуйста” or “не за что” (“nichts zu danken”), but you still can use it as a polite reply to “спасибо”.

Thank you very much for your fast reply and the explanation! I just knew “пожалуйста” and “не за что” as a polite reply to “спасибо”. I guess your right it is less common these days.

There seems to be a problem with russian level 1. When I click continue learning it takes me back to the first lesson which i have done multiple times. It also doesnt seem to be saving any of my progress. Thanks

Hi!
In the course Russian 1, level 11 there is a sentence: какой у тебя номер телефона? It sounds so strange to me, cannot this be accepted: какой твой номер телефона?

“Какой у тебя номер телефона” is a correct phrase, it is used a lot at least where I live. (“Какой твой номер телефона” is OK too).

Anyone? It’s much easier when you have the mems
There is a mistake in Russian 6 in the second level “phrases”. When the screen says сложный people (or at least the kind of hipsterish guy with glasses and the girl with ash blonde hair) say тяжелый. This is in the phrase that says сейчас сложные времена.

Hi, in Russian 4 is the verb ‘смущать’ conjugated correctly in this construction, ‘разговоры об отношениях смущают его’? Shouldn’t it be ‘смущает’?
1 Like
“смущают” is the present 3rd person plural of the verb “смущать” and it is used correctly in this phrase because the noun “разговоры” is in plural too. “Смущает” is the singular form so it would be used with the singular form of the noun, e.g. “Этот разговор смущает его”.

Hi Pendrokar, thanks for your comment and sorry for my late reply.
We changed the way we introduce the alphabet. There is no more romanisation in level 1. Please check the new alphabet levels out and let us know your opinion about them.
Regarding the two Russian courses - they are not exactly identical: one of them is designed for British English and the other is in American English. Hope that helps! Best regards, Masha
Hi RobertKnight8a, thanks for your comment!
We have an official Russian for American English course: http://www.memrise.com/course/1180537/russian-1/.
Check it out!
Best, Masha
Hi Musja15, thank you for your question and sorry for my late reply. @lenagardariki, thank you for your perfect answer, I don’t have anything to add 
@Musja15, I hope you are enjoying the course! С Новым годом! Маша
Thanks for the info, but I don’t want to start all over. Maybe I’ll switch when I get to Russian III.
