Suggestions for DLI MSA course

I have the fix! It is a little complicated, but it’s worth it to never have to type again. This works only on desktop and only with Chrome.

Instructions to turn off typing-tests:

  1. Install “Tampermonkey” chrome extension
  2. Access Tampermonkey dashboard by clinking Tampermonkey icon in upper right of Chrome window (looks like a cassette tape), and select “Dashboard”
  3. Select the add icon (plus sign in a box) to the left of “Installed userscript” tab
  4. Paste this script into the window:

// ==UserScript==
// @name Memrise All Multiple Choice
// @namespace https://github.com/cooljingle
// @description All multiple choice when doing Memrise typing courses
// @match https://app.memrise.com/course//garden/
// @match https://app.memrise.com/garden/review/*
// @version 0.0.7
// @updateURL https://github.com/cooljingle/memrise-all-multiple-choice/raw/master/Memrise_All_Multiple_Choice.user.js
// @downloadURL https://github.com/cooljingle/memrise-all-multiple-choice/raw/master/Memrise_All_Multiple_Choice.user.js
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

$(document).ready(function() {
MEMRISE.garden._events.start.push(() => {
enableAllMultipleChoice();
});

function enableAllMultipleChoice() {
    MEMRISE.garden.session.box_factory.make = (function() {
        var cached_function = MEMRISE.garden.session.box_factory.make;
        return function() {
            var result = cached_function.apply(this, arguments);
            var shouldSetMultipleChoice = ["presentation", "copytyping", "multiple_choice", "reversed_multiple_choice"].indexOf(result.template) < 0 &&
                MEMRISE.garden.session.box_factory.isTestPossible(result, "multiple_choice");
            if(shouldSetMultipleChoice)
                result.template = "multiple_choice";
            return result;
        };
    }());
}

});

  1. Hit “File”, “Save” in upper left corner.
  2. Refresh Memrise, and enjoy!

I wasted untold hours fighting the typing tests, and then decided to spend those hours figuring out how to write a script to turn them off. I hope this can help others. Please comment if you have any problems!

I haven’t been able to get this script to work. Did a recent update break it?

Hello! I’m a semester 2 student and this course has been really helpful with reenforcing the vocabulary. Occasionally, I come across words where the English description/definition is a little misleading (incorrect measure numbers, asking for verb and the answer is a noun instead) or missing/mistakes in the audio, as well as the lists being incomplete (not your fault, as the vocab list at the end of chapters does not list every word underlined in the chapter). Could I get contributor rights? I’d love to go through the chapters as I continue through the course and contribute to the Memrise course
@user16

Good idea.
I saw you message and I thought I had contributor rights on this course, to add you in the contributors. But I don’t.
Hopefully one of the actual contributors or the creator will see your request. Good luck!

Welp, I guess it’s just you and I that are active. Bumping in another attempt to get the attention of one of the contributors, would be unfortunate if none of them kept up with this anymore :slightly_frowning_face:

@user16 I don’t know if you are still around, but I made a thread to get in touch with @MemriseSupport just in case you aren’t, just making you aware and putting it out there if anyone else wants to request to contribute to this course
P.S. Sorry for the double post lol

Hi is it possible to become a contributor for this course? I want to be able to have the “Learned all” option so I can just use this course as a review instead of having to learn the words one by one. Unfortunately its impossible unless you become a contributor.

@msouthard900192 I don’t know if you’re still active, but judging by the thread it seems you were made a contributor to this course. Is there a chance you could make me a contributor? I’d like to be able to mark certain chapters as known, alongside improving on the course by adding diacritics to some of these words.

Hello. Would it be possible for me to become a contributor in this course? I’m currently going through the course and have noticed their’s some good modifications that can be done

Hello. I am currently going through this course and would like to become a contributor so that I can make edits as need and to be able to mark lessons as learned. Thank you!

How did you create the DLI MSA course? I was thinking about creating the same kind of course for other DLI languages like Turkish and Farsi. Is there an easy way to do this?

The MSA course has a list of vocabulary terms at the end of every section/chapter. One of the other contributors added the audios to the course. I think those may have been from the basic course audio files. There used to be this website MIT NetProf that had the entire DLI MSA course pronunciations, too.

Copying and pasting word lists from a PDF into Edit Course > Advanced > Bulk Add words would be a quick way of entering.
