Nice Monday everyone!
Please, I need help with the following:
I finished all available levels of French but I would like to do all over again but I don’t know if that would be possible without loosing what I accomplished; I don’t mind though.
I will appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you all.
Hi and welcome to the forum!
The “Restart” feature is explained in the FAQ area but care is needed before deciding to use it
If you click on “Restart” (either on the course homepage or on a ‘level’ page within a course) it will wipe your learning to date for either the whole course or the whole level, and you will then be able to go through the planting and reviewing cycle from scratch. Your “Words learned” total will be reduced but you will not lose your points earned to date. So, if you decide to go down this road, it might be best to try it first with a single level of a course.
An alternative that you could consider would be to take some of the ‘user-created’ courses (the quality of these varies but there are some very good ones). You can find these in the course library in the web version of Memrise and, once you have started a course on the web, it will sync to any versions of the Memrise app that you have so that you can continue learning them there. Sorry if you already know all this!
Hope it helps.
Thank you very much for your answer. I will try the last option. Merci!
Hi @MisStiletto, I was going to suggest the same thing.
An alternative that you could consider would be to take some of the ‘user-created’ courses …
I would add
1). Some courses have audio, some are more about spelling and others are more about learning to recognise words and phrases.
2). You can study on the web page or if you want to use the App, you may need to log out of the App and back in again for the App to Sync.
Knowing this is a somewhat older thread, it might still be useful to others: I’m well over 80% through this course here (took me over 2y to this point!) and I can very much recommend it.
There’s audio for all words, very good quality (next to no errors at all) and the title says it all:
Have you seen a huge result after finished all available levels of French? This program is effective?
I love that course but just learning 5000 words isn’t going to be enough. You need to read things in French and listen to French to really advance and learn. This is true for any language you wish to learn.

How many languages do you know? 
My native language is Serbian which means I also know Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin as they’re mutually intelligible. I am fluent in only two foreign languages - English and Spanish. My German, Dutch and French are at B1.
The rest I have on my course list are languages I wish to learn more in the future and eventually become fluent. For now I am only learning a few words every week, taking it slow.
Wow, that’s quite impressive. I also intend to learn French and Spanish in the future. It’s always a good idea to take it slow. In what ways do you find are easier to learn a new language?
I make it interesting for myself. I am quite restless by nature so I avoid spending hours going over textbooks, workbooks and grammar books. They kill any desire in me to learn anything. I owe my knowledge of English to 80’s Hollywood, British sitcoms, Britney Spears and boy bands. I started learning English in school in 5th grade and it came down to just me seeing for the first time all these words I already knew.
I start with a Memrise course like “Top 1000/2000/5000 words in [language]” and I find native Youtubers who post in that language. At first it is a mess obviously, I barely understand anything and well done subtitles are rare. I also read books (and try to find the audio so I can read and listen at the same time) and blogs about things I am interested in. And music of course, when you like a song you’ll be more into singing it and translating the lyrics. I usually go with lyric videos on Youtube like this:
The point is not to give up and not be weighed down by the current lack of knowledge. Sing your heart out, butcher all the lyrics. It’ll get better.
