I’ve noticed two issues that have been bugging me for a while.
Spanish 5, level 25: “or else …” translates to “… o te vas a enterer”. Can the ‘…’ be changed to either be consistently in the front or the back of the phrase. Or is it trying to imply something about the position in a sentence?
Second I don’t what the difference is between (maybe one is uk english and the other is american?):
and
but in the first link “el real” translates to “the”. I’m assuming it’s supposed to be “the {something}”?
Hi - I am in Spanish(Spain)3 and have reached some Grammar Bot steps. I have now done 3 of them and they keep repeating even though I have completed them OK. They also seem to come up the same on my Spanish 2 line. How do I get rid of the completed ones to move on?
Thanks for your feedback @VT22, I have changed the English definition of the item doler to “to hurt; to ache”. I hope this makes it clearer. Thanks again and happy learning!
Thanks for your suggestion but I believe it’s necessary to keep “to hurt” as a translation of doler , as it’s an intransitive verb, and you would say “duele” for “it hurts”. “To feel pain” would not work in this case. I agree with your translation of herir nonetheless.
You´re right about the “duele” = “it hurts” thing in most cases!
I was trying to specify the difference between the two words but now I see that when I wrote “In fact I would translate this like…” I led to confussion. I wasn´t trying to state the best translation for each word, but trying to translate the meaning, the nuances, so VT22 could understand them better. When I wrote that I meant something like “In fact I would say that this word has these particularities and that one has those ones”. Not the best way of expressing it though!
I´m sorry about that, english is not my mother language!
I have the same problem as mentioned by @OguzIncedalipb2 and @alanh but in the Spanish course for French learners (Espagnol 3, niveau 32). Shouldn’t “Tenéis plan para màs tarde?” being translated into “Est-ce que vous avez des plans pour plus tard?” instead of “Est-ce que tu as des plans pour plus tard?”
Glad someone else is confused by sabia/obvia.
What I found on the web is what you note… that (apart from some special cases - buen(a), numbers…) an adjective after the noun is selecting, one before it is a natural part of the noun being emphasised.
I am beginning to think that the use of ‘la’ is the important part - one is selecting the one choice that is obvious.
I’m in Spanish 3 for French learners (Espagnol 3, niveau 37 “L’été prochain sur terre”) and I’m confused about two sentences.
?con quién vais a ir? (sorry for the first question mark, I can’t find the correct one on my keyboard) is translated into “avec qui est-ce que tu vas y aller?”. Shouldn’t it be “avec qui est-ce que vous allez y aller?”.
“irà a Francia el proximo invierno” translates into “j’irai en France l’hiver prochain”. Shouldn’t it be “elle/il ira en France l’hiver prochain”?
Thanks for your post and for reporting these issues, I have informed the French specialist, who will correct the mistakes ASAP. For future reference, there’s a forum thread for reporting issues in the Spanish for French learners courses: [Course Forum] Espagnol 1-7 by Memrise (Spanish for French speakers)
Thanks for helping us improve our courses and happy learning!
I have exactly the same problem (three months after grimshaw1’s post). Lessons repeat and are the same across all 7 levels. One clue may be that, upon completion of a grammar lesson, I get booted back to the Spanish courses homepage instead of continuing on to the next recommended lesson for the course. It’s as if there’s some piece of code at the end of the grammar lesson that should record the completion and them move on, but it fails. I’ve tried both Chrome and Explorer with same issue, so I don’t think it’s a user / browser error. Thanks!
hi,
are there really only 4 topics for grammar bots and only 3 chat robots? i’m almost done with the 3rd course, but nothing new came since the 1st course…
I have only today noticed, by chance, that the content of the Spanish(Spain)1 and Spanish(Spain)2 courses that I completed mostly on the web version a long time ago (and have been reviewing daily since) is quite different from the versions which currently display if I select them from the course list.
Some of the entries are presented differently and both courses have additional content. The version of Spanish(Spain)1 in the course list has 437 words compared to the 224 in the version that I completed some time ago (I didn’t ‘ignore’ any) and, for Spanish(Spain)2 it’s 369 words compared to 347.
No changes appear to have been made to Spanish(Spain)3-7. If I click on those in the course list (instead of my dashboard), it accurately displays my learning progress for the relevant course but if I click on Spanish(Spain)1 or 2 in the course list, it invites me to “start learning” them from the beginning.
Does anyone know if my learning history for courses 1 and 2 will get ‘wiped’ if I start learning the newer versions in order to access the additional content or will both versions appear on my dashboard and I’ll then have to ignore the duplicate words?
Hi @angileptol, did I miss an announcement about the revised content of Spanish(Spain)1 and 2, and can you advise me of the best way to access the additional content without losing my learning history? Are there any plans to revise the content of Spanish(Spain)3-7 anytime soon? If so, can the change be announced, please?
