I started Spanish, French and Italian -> though to make it most fun, all in English so I can train four languages (granted, I had Spanish in school as well)
Does anyone know if my scores are added up for the board or just my best one ?

Edit : I wanted to start 2 1/2 new languages in my second language to see if my head explodes.
Two completely new languages and a mediocre good one all not in your native tongue, lol I can only recommend it. Total mindfuck, but it is a ton of fun !

I have 11.000 points and still need to double that to make it into top 100 Oo wtf.
TL-tufas

Edit2 : Oh you get way more points for harvesting your plants. Now I get it how someone can have that many points !
Edit3: Oh god what has that site done to me, now I also started Hebrew (always wanted to know that language) .... please help me, I am trapped in languages :/

Oh god not the sea of books.
After I woke up I decided to try and get my Spanish as good as my English (I already know the grammar, I just need to re-learn all the conjugations) -> thus I mostly need vocabulary.

After I did that (including watching Spanish movies and reading some books) I will let a random generator decide the next language. And so forth. I mean why not ? I already know 2 1/2 languages, might as well make it 3 1/2.

I've been using this daily, I forgot what a pleasure it was to use this. I feel like it needs a bump so other TL users can get back in on the action if they forgot about it and others who missed out on it can see the awesomeness that it is.

I'm attempting German and Russian at the moment and enjoying both quite thoroughly. Any native speakers willing to let me send terribly / poorly written messages to them to try and have conversation?

With my semester break coming up I should really try to revive my czech skills. Does anybody know if Memrise acknowledges missing accents as mistakes? That wasn't the case when I last tried it and for me it was really bad as the pronunciation changes drastically.



Native German here. Feel free to write whenever you like.

I'm learning German and it doesn't count a missed umlaut as incorrect so my guess is no for czech as well. Just have to try and police yourself carefully I guess. I... might send you incoherent German messages . Am currently living here in Germany for a few months, but have never taken an actual course in German so it's just been internet self-teaching/submersion learning.

The only work-around I have for umlauts and accents is to include them if you aren't 100% so you force incorrects.

That does not work as far as I know. A few month ago the correct version with accents was accepted as well as the incorrect version.

yo this game ownz, i think the interface got updated today too (either that or it looks different on IE lol)

one thing that would be kinda nice tho is if each set started paused. i always miss the first word because it takes me forever to load a set, so i'm usually tabbed out and then i tab back in and i lost one
not a big deal but mildly annoying
