I don't love Anki either, but I feel neutral using Anki, and angry using Memrise.

Sounds like we use Memrise differently. I get bugs like you click the correct option in a multiple choice test and yet it says you are wrong :shock: Or words I learned months ago and have been reviewing for months, showing as new or half-planted :? It's not even for me to just try and put up with Memrise; I simply can't continue studying with it. Or I get on the train, take out my phone intending to do a few reps, and PUFF! the page is blank.

We're half way there! How is everyone doing? Don't forget to take advantage of the pretty charts to analyse your study habits, to compare actual hours with planned hours, and maybe to get some inspriation from other users as well.

Happy studying!

I was way behind due to the Gathering, but I'm slowly climbing up the ranks now even though I haven't been studying as much as usual due to a cold.

I love the tracking and the graphs.

The 6 Week Challenge Bot seems to be broken.

It hasn't updated anyone for some time and if you click on the bot address (where you normally get the list of everyone to see all their hours) you get a big error screen instead.

Who knows how to fix it?

Now the list has come back--and it says that no one is participating, but you can look at the list for 2011. :(

Seems like Sprachprofi's been tweaking something. It already broke a few days ago...
She can be contacted on twitter as @Junesun.
BTW it's allowed to post tweets when the challenge is over in your timezone, as long as you don't credit anything you did after the challenge ended. The last day of this challenge is Saturday June 11, and you can use http://www.tweetsqueue.com to post scheduled tweets (for example if you won't be around to try again).

LyricsTraining now has Finnish and Polish :)

It's back now, but it doesn't seem to have replied to yesterday's tweets. However, I've seen it take hours to reply before, so we should probably wait before retweeting in case it does count them later.

For me, the page is there, but it doesn't seem to be updating. It's got everything up to Sunday, but it hasn't responded to any of my tweets from yesterday or today.

I'm not familiar with Twitter. Do you mean @Junesun is Sprachprofi? But @Junesun looks more like an Asian teenager.

And how do you contact @Junesun with "@Junesun"? :oops: Do you tweet "@Junesun Hi please help blah blah blah" where you normally tweet 6WC minutes?

I think she's using @GermanPolyglot now, but it still says @Junesun on the webpage, so I'm not sure.
