Hello,
I just want to learn whether it is possible to get words from one language or not.
For example I am learning German, so when I study my course, sometimes I want to get only German words. So only the German words will be asked to me and I will answer them in English. I could not find a way of doing this. Maybe I am missing something.
Thanks for help,
For courses that are set up to teach you German from English, here’s how it works. When you are learning new items (planting), Memrise will ask you multiple choice questions in both directions. In a typing course, it’ll go like this:
1 - multiple choice: English prompt, German answer
2 - multiple choice: German prompt, English answer
3 - typed: English prompt, German answer
4 - multiple choice: English prompt, German answer
5 - multiple choice: German prompt, English answer
6 - typed: English prompt, German answer
Later, when you review, Memrise will prompt you in English, and you will type in German.
Courses can be set up in other ways. For example, Deutsch Interaktiv A1 has pairs of lessons. The first of each pair is multiple choice, it prompts you in German, and you select the English answer. The second lesson of each pair requires *strict typing, prompts you in English, and you type out the answer (usually a sentence) in German.
*Strict typing means that you must match the answer in the database exactly, including punctuation, capital letters, and umlauts.
If you are the course creator, you can set it up to test in either direction. You can also duplicate lessons and set them up so that lesson 1 prompts in English, and lesson 2 prompts in German, and lesson 3 prompts in English and you select the corresponding audio in German from a multiple choice list.
For the lesson you want to edit, click the little paperclip just under the lesson name, and then make your selections in the pop-up box.
You can try using user created scripts, which allow you to manipulate the testing method/order of courses that are already set up.
