[Dolmen 2.0]

Dammit i have been lapsing.

Had a few papers to write for application and just shirked my language training. Right I'm gonna dive right back into it! Just wait and see monsieur Macros!

[Macros]

Scraped into the weekly top 10 on my german course this week, highest ever position of 9th (i expect this to be lost by morning alas)

But I encourage everyone to use memrise so I can feel good about beating all your daily scores

ETA

Memrise.com

Is this a free thing? I checked out the website on my phone and it said to try the app but some of the comments said you need to pay for it to use it properly.
I'd like to learn another language at some point, I took french until grade 10 but all that knowledge is totally gone now.

[Macros]

Nah it's free.
The paid subscription gives you more services like keeping track of words you have struggled with and recapping them more often and a few other things, but I used the free version for a long time.

[Macros]

Still hding on to 8th spot and I have another tea break to go. Alas with this being the champions league final weekend I can't see me sticking in top 10 until Sunday night

Cool thanks, maybe I'll try it out.

[Macros]

Post your username too so I can add you, to have someone other than dolmen to beat every day

[Gintokian]

Ok I registered, my username is Gintokian. I signed up for the Japanese course, although I have no idea if I'll follow through but I'd like to try.
How do you see the leaderboards? When I click on it it just shows me.

[Gintokian]

Wait nevermind I found it.

[Macros]

I added you. It's easier to add people via the app I think.
Dolmens username is Dolmen2.0
Mine is matt_robinson1028

Ok cool I added you guys too. Damn man you have 2.4M points?? I don't know what points mean yet but that seems like a lot.

[Macros]

Ive been memrising for a while, I'm on German 5, and have done a bit of Swedish and French too.

I gauge it more by the weekly scores

[Gintokian]

Oh nice, Ok i'll have to try it out when I have free time... which may be often seeing as I'm on here a lot at work so maybe I should do something constructive.

[Macros]

the app is hella handy on your phone. and you can download an entire course to your phone (over wifi, they are large files) and then can work away even when you have no signal/ data

[Macros]

up to 4th on German 5. still 40k off 1st, don't think I'll be catching that, but if I can hold top 10 for the week I'll be happy. then set a target of breaking top 10 every week.

When I clicked on the download button it said you needed to pay to have the "Pro" subscription to download anything. Unless it uses a ton of data I should be fine though.

[Tiste Simeon]

Yeah just signed up for Memrise, I'm learning me some Icelandic! Name is TisteSimeon if you want to add me (though I think I have added Gintokian/Macros/Dolmen already). It's hard but fun!

[Macros]

It's not sore in data anyway, it's more for me, I seem to end up staying in places with terrible signal and crap WiFi for work.

[Macros]

I'm sitting 4th (for the week on my course, German 5) heading into the weekend, I'm cautiously optimistic of staying in the top 10.
it doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things, but for me it's a much better target than the daily goals. 1st place is not 70k ahead of me so I aint catching him. at this rate though top 10 for the month is actually quite achievable (not this month mind)

[Gintokian]

Damn I totally forgot about this. OK this week I am for sure going to do it a lot... or a few times... definitely at least once.
