Suddenly tapping tests have no more diacritical marks.
For example if tested on the water is cold. L’eau est froide.
Before one would see --l’eau-- --froide-- --est— etc.
Now one sees --leau-- --froide-- --est–.
leau is not l’eau !!!
I hope this is some sort of bug that can be resolved because no beginning or intermediate learner can hope to understand the difference without wracking their brains between leau and l’eau. :(’
I cannot imagine that this doesn’t cause problems for other languages as well.
I’ve come across this while learning new words in level 54 of A1 French tonight. I can’t remember if it also cropped up in the general review too. “est-ce” used to be presented in tapping test as the single word “est-ce” but now it is split into the two words “est” and “ce” which when used together, give the wrong answer as there’s no possibility of adding a hyphen. “grand-mère” is also now split into “grand” and “mère” which again are marked wrong when put together.
For apostrophes, iirc “aujourd’hui” has survived unscathed but “c’est” has become “cest”.
There were definitely no problems with this 24 hours ago when using memrise in a web browser (Firefox 49).
For the time being, you can go into your learning preferences and disable tapping tests.
I disabled tapping tests for good a long time ago, because when they got introduced they were enabled to all courses and it turns out some courses designed before tapping tests work really poorly with them! But my please to memrise to let tapping tests be opt-in per course by the course creator fell on deaf ears
Anyway, it turns out that using memrise without tapping tests doesn’t detract much from it. So feel free to try that for a while.
Hi everyone. I have just started using the Memrise French course, and my seven year old son is also using it and getting on really well. But now I have a technical problem - in ‘click and drop’ activities (I don’t know what the technical word is for these but they are the ones where you have to choose a word and click on it to make the sentence in the correct order) containing hyphenated words, there are no hyphens, and therefore I keep being told I’m getting the answer wrong. The main problem is with ‘est-ce que’. The activities want the hyphen, but there is no hyphen in the available answers list, so I keep getting marked wrong. This is incredibly frustrating - and will be even more so for my seven year old, who is likely to be put off learning French for life if he keeps being told he’s getting it wrong, but is not offered a way of getting it right! Anyone got any ideas why this is happening? Is it a browser related issue? Thanks in advance for any advice!
Whenever there is “est-ce” in a sentence, it is impossible to select the correct words, as there is no “-” in the choices. I have included a screenshot to show what I mean. There must be a solution other than to ignore all words with “est-ce”, as “est-ce” is very common. Can someone please help me with this?
I’m learning Hiligaynon, and there’s this phrase “tag-pesetas ang isa” and the my answers for fill in the blanks have always been wrong–just because a hyphen is missing? And it’s impossible to put a hyphen in this situation.
I’ve found another bug. “Il pense” is pronounced the same as “Ils pensent”. Surely, both should be accepted as correct answers for the listening, or the “nt” should be incorrectly pronounced to allow listeners to differentiate between the two.
@DanBray94 Pronunciation is a CONTENT issue more than a CODING one.
The programmers needed to know about this to fix the filter in the code that wasn’t working.
You should please contact the course owner to fix the pronunication or acceptance of both singular and plural, without context there is no way to tell the difference between the two !
