Does anyone else find it interesting when you are given a SINGLE word and you need to click three choices for the interpretation and two choices are long phrases? Too obvious. Make them all words. Or if it is a phrase, make ALL the choices phrases.
Also…when you include punctuation, it’s too easy to pick out the right words. Make the punctuation a SEPARATE icon to click.
depends very much on the numbers of items learned - if the course is long enough, in time you’ll face more “difficult” altenatives…
Thanks. I’ve learned MANY words which is why I am surprised at this.
well, sorry to hear that… i take some no- typing courses with more or less confusing choices. I am not using the tapping option, therefore, if you speak about that I am afraid i cannot help there
I agree about the problem, but I mostly encounter it the other way around:
The question is a full sentence, and six or seven of the eight options are single short words (I’m doing Greenlandic, which is extremely heavy on suffixes, so one sentence = perhaps two 12-letter words, and the short (stem) words that are given as alternatives are perhaps 5-8 letters).
There are plenty of sentences available in the course, it’s just that Memrise seems to strongly favour alternatives that start with the right letter, and completely ignore length. So having a course that mixes single words and full sentences seems likely to fail this way.
PS. @markstruczewski, please pay more attention to your thread titles :). Remember that it should describe the problem, not just express frustration ;).

It is also helpful if we are given a link to the course, so we can investigate.
Thanks
My sincerely apologizes. It was my first post. Please forgive me. Thanks!
