Memrise: Another flashcard site for vocabulary learning

  1. Yet another attempt to tackle foreign language vocabulary learning with a crowd-sourced flashcard site: What is different this time, other than the layout?
  2. The site works with a seed/greenhouse/garden metaphor for spaced repetition (how intelligent is the underlying algorithm for that?) and processing/short/long term memorymemrise-seed
  3. You can have the word pronounced (is this Text-to-speech? does not sound like it. So will it scale?) The focus on non-target language “ponies” seems not fruitful. Actual target language context should be under “Samples”, but seems widely missing. Communicative motivation also. Multiple meanings and grammatical information seem to be missing from the lemmata. .single-word
  4.  memrise-emmnotic
  5. Looks like a long list of flashcard lists, but note that the number of included words is descending quickly, hardly one of the many textbooks
  6. German flashcards list - Memrise
  7. The site allows you to download the word lists as Excel files: download-wordlist-xls
