Uzbek - Adding Missing Sounds

Hi All,

I’m currently studying Uzbek on the following course (as well as working with an in-person tutor using the book that it is based on):

Is there a way to add sound for the benefit of all users? I might be able to work with my tutor to get native speaker recordings, but I don’t know how to edit the course or get in touch with the course creator about this. I’m fairly new to Memrise, any advice about this?

The course creator can add audio.

Thanks John!

In that case how do I get in touch with the course creator? I saw this post explaining how to do so, but the course creator “lilienthal” doesn’t seem to be a forum user. Can I contact Memrise asking them to reach out to her via email perhaps?

Ah, good question: unfortunately, yes, basically only Memrise can contact that user - I’d wish that every course creator would automatically become a forum member the moment they set a course to public, but that is not the case.

@MemriseMatty: could you tell us if this Elementary Uzbek 1 course has any contributors that are active on this forum? Then we could ask them if adding audio is possible. If not, could you mail the course creator and invite him/her to this topic? Thank you!

BTW: it seems that you are not in the list of the people who are studying this course. Aren’t you?

@MemriseMatty I’m seconding this question - I’d be really happy to enhance the course with audio if the creator allows it!

Also John, thanks for clarifying :slight_smile:
I think I am enrolled in the course? I see it on my Dashboard on the main site. Or is there something else I need to do to be on that list?

Yes, you are ‘enrolled’ , which means you are studying it and it should also show up in the app (which doesn’t search among user-created courses, but does allow you to study them once started on the web).

You said: “Or is there something else I need to do to be on that list?” If you mean the contributors list (I can’t think of another list right now), then that is something else entirely. A course creator can allow any user they choose to edit the course (such as adding entries or adding audio). Such user is called a contributor.

A contributor can be set under Edit Course -> Details. You are probably not on the list of this course.

A user can know they are a contributor by opening the course page. If there is an Edit Course button, the user is a contributor.

My question on enrollment/lists was in response to your “BTW: it seems that you are not in the list of the people who are studying this course. Aren’t you?”

I’m still not sure what you meant by that…

Sorry, that sentence was a mistake… I wanted to remove it but apparently I didn’t. Sorry for any confusing.

Hi @MemriseMatty,

Sorry to bring this up again - is there something we can do to contact Lilienthal?
I emailed Memrise support on the main website but got a slightly discouraging answer… still I saw that you had done things like this in the past based on other forum discussions.

Best,
Alon
