( mems. not memes)
Hi Dean, thanks a lot for your feedback on mems!
The grammar notes used in these mems were confusing as many people as they were helping, so we’ve removed them for the moment. We’re looking for a better way to put them back into the course in a more helpful way in the future.
So as you might have noticed, at the moment we are not focusing our courses on mems…
I’m sorry that his answer is probably not very satisfactory for you at the moment!
have a great day!
Mario
Hallo Mario.
Thank you for explaining to me why the mems have been removed. Can I just offer my complete support to the official Memrise mems. I think it is very important that hints are included to help explain grammar changes. For example, why ‘ein’ has now become ‘einen’ or why ‘im’ is used instead of ‘in dem’. I have experience of both the old A1 German course and the new German 1 and 2 courses and I can see the difference in learning by having the grammar notes included.
I really hope a helpful solution can be found soon.
Danke & Alles Gute!
Dean
This website is called MEMrise and yet you’ve removed the mems from the site?? If a mem is confusing to you pick a different mem. It seems like this site has issues and so I’ll just go away and not use it for a while and hope stuff gets fixed. Maybe I’ll come back later (or not).
Thanks for your feedback and concerns! We are still using mems, they are not all fully removed from the website. When you learn new words (on web), you can simply click on “Help me remember this” and you will see all mems that have been created for this word. I am sorry that your experience with the Memrise website has not been the best lately and we are aware that the website has potential issues. We are focusing on the development of our mobile apps, so maybe try one of those and let me know what you think! Best, Mario
Lieber Mario,
ich kapiere nicht ganz…
what are you implying /“we are still unsing mems”)? that mems as well will vanish ?
I don´t think that’s true, is it @mario2189? You are only shown up to a maximum of 7 mems…and they don’t include those that were created for the same word in another course, which often are better.
Thanks very much for replying, I appreciate that. I was under the impression that you took the mems out of the website, the apps: the company - even if temporarily. I was trying to use mems on my iPhone and that is where I ran into trouble - they’re gone. Pretty much. I submitted a bug report and saw on another forum that others are having issues too but maybe not everyone. When a new version of the app comes out on the app store I’ll try again.
Hi, nein das war eher als Antwort auf “…mems were removed” gemeint. Wir haben Mems nicht von der Website gelöscht. Hoffe das macht es klarer! LG, Mario
.puh… vielen Dank, Mario!
aber ich meinte, Mems werden uns als “feature” doch erhalten bleiben, ja?
you should see “a maximum” of 7 mems on Android, 5 on iOS and an unlimited number of mems on web. Let me know if you are having trouble with that! Best, Mario
Thanks for the reply @mario2189 but I use the web site as my regular learning method and I don’t see more than a maximum of 7 mems. It’s been like that for some time now. I have just checked again in several of my courses using ‘learning’ and ‘preview’ modes.
There was some earlier discussion in this other topic: How to show *all* Mems for a given entry?
the same here
Has there been any progress on this? I would really like some grammar support or I’ll need to abandon the official courses as they’re now reaching territory where the grammar is new to me.
I’d also question why you’d think that the mems confused as many people as they helped - just because you get some complaints or questions doesn’t make this even close to being the case. Presumably most people were happily using them without comment.
I might have a look at the older courses if these are more helpful?
and no answer to the issue that web users don’t get to see more than 7 mems either
also @Hydroptere Sorry for the late response. I was wrong earlier when I said it is unlimited. It is indeed a maximum of 7 mems you will see on web, just like on Android. For now, I can only repeat that updating or adding mems is not a priority for us at the moment, as we are trying to figure out a better way to include mems in our courses.
Best, Mario
I do hope that this will include a way to select a mem that was created for a word/phrase when it appeared in a different course, even when that other course has a different database! There are some really good ones out there which currently cannot be selected when learning the new Memrise-created courses.
Dear Memrise team, I do not know whether I have chosen the best thread here, however I want to share with You with my uncomplete user experience regarding MEMS on IPHONE.
I am Pro user. I had used Android app for over a year and 2 months ago i migrated my phone number on iPhone - so did my Memrise.
I am frustrated over limited funkcionality with mems on iPhone.
They do not show much, unless I make a mistake (I do not want to make the mistake in the first place)
And more importantly I can not create one.
I love one very freshly made new Italian course by Robert-Alexander… it is completelly new and still completelly without mems. I have learned almost 600 words in one month there … yet there are some troublemakers “parole” … I wish I could tackle them somehow.
But there is no way.
No mems
No help in fighting them.
By the way I miss the functionality on average … elsewhere in other couses too … it’s just, that here it is screaming the most.
Sincerely yours
PRS
I suppose, I should have written it here:
Thank you for opening this topic Petr. I wanted to complain regarding MEMS in Memrise, which used to have a lot of MEMS of users but now not anymore(((
last updates is bad, when you learn new words not showing MEMS, their should be button “Help me learn word” but their is not. Before used to appear this button with MEMS of users or comments like Mnemonic topic(((( now is not like before which is making me sad((.
I read blog of memrise and that problem “solved” on May, but I think it is still not solved for IOS or maybe also Android.
