I’d like to post about a problem I’ve encountered; I don’t know if it’s on my end or the web/applications… Basically (for now I’ve only seen it on the website ver.) when the test “Am Wrong” comes up (Correct answer is Ma,Chi,Ga,Tsu(Tu?),Te,i,Ma,Su) comes up, I always get the “wrong” answer even though it looks like I was correct (まちがつています ー I’m sorry but it’s just so satisfying typing in Japanese, I’ll stop now)
Other than that though, it’s been a great learning experience, using Memrise! I even bought the pro solely to respect and support the creators; the extra features are great as well.
The つ in that word is actually a little っ, which serves the different purpose of doubling the next consonant. Try typing “ma chi ga tte i ma su”, and it should give you the little っ.
Good luck with your studies, and feel free to ask if you have any other questions!
Oh my, you’re totally right! I thought it was a problem with the website because when I type it in english (ma,chi,ga,tsu,te,i,ma,su) it considers it correct!
Yeah, it’s a bit of a quirk on Memrise’s end that it accepts “tsu” (and even requires it in some cases) for the little っ when typing in romaji. That’s one of the reasons why I’d recommend sticking to typing in Japanese as much as you can.
