It seems you are using the what’s-it-called new product / beta which might the reason that the button is available on your end but not here - I’m using the “classic” Memrise and can’t switch between the old and new system.
I’ve also performed a “hard reload” in my browser, i. e. without any cache (this has been a problem for a couple of times in the past), but everything stays the same.
But that pretty much explains it - the integration has only been carried out for the “new Memrise”, not for the old one. I must say that, once again, this is quite funny as the “massive announcement” doesn’t contain any info about that, and I bet that the by far larger count of users still has no access to the “beta” which seems to only be available to new users (automatically) or to hand-picked users.
@Olaf.Rabbachin : Yes. The “announcement” doesn’t make the distinction. It’s never been one of Memrise’s strong points! I’ve just had a look back at the FAQs section to see if that makes things any clearer. It doesn’t. Theres’s a 4 month old reference to Membot there but it also fails to make clear who has/will have access.
This may be the answer to @duaal 's question, too.
Same here. I just checked it out once again, just to find this article that explains that there is no way of switching between “new” and “classic” Memrise. What a shame.
Thank you for your comments
At this time MemBot is only available on the Early Access version of Memrise.
We are still working on enabling Early Access for all of our existing users, if you’d like to sample it, you can go to this link and click start free language lesson, this will bring you to the new Memrise (early access). There you’ll see our new Immerse and Communicate tabs.
Know that if you learn on this early access version, it won’t count towards your streaks on the old courses. And currently on Early Access, while we sync individual word progress, we haven’t yet calculated progress on each scenario, so it’s likely that if you click on a scenario of a course you’ve done on classic it will say you’ve already done it and move it to the practice tab.
To go back to the classic version, click on your profile in the top right and toggle “Leave early access”. You may also have the ‘Community courses’ button in the bottom left of your dashboard
I started using it and I like it. Here are the things I like and dislike.
I like how it can correct my grammar.
I like how I can just type English word if I don’t know the word in the target language.
What I don’t like is that it is very short. I would like to be able to practice for at least 10-15 minutes before it resets. It starts and ends quickly. Another good thing would be to open a practice pod where we can chat and practice any topic without being limited to set topics. Thank you Memrise.
Everything will work, but as I said, work on Early Access does not contribute to streaks on classic, so if you care about streaks do all learning on classic.
That link will enroll you to french for english, but once you’re in Early Access use the language dropdown to add langi=uage and you can quit the course and add others as you like
Will the Classic Review and Speed Review still be available on the new format. I like these reviews and will be very disappointed if they are no longer available. If they aren’t available, what will take their place to help in the vocabulary learning phase?
