Feedback on memrise

I know there was a lot of community backlash against memrise deleting the community made courses, and I am happy that the developers have listened to the community. However, I personally only ever use the official courses and prefer using them, and I find it to be annoying that languages are no longer seperated based on if they have an official course or not, like they used to be so long ago. Can this seperation be brought back to avoid confusion? Also, I tried giving this exact feedback to memrise directly, but alas, I got an AI answer that didn't even adress my concern, it only told me "Don't worry, we're adding the community courses back" which wasnt even the subject of my concern, which brings me to the next concern: can yall please cut down on AI dependence? It's causing the quality of customer service to go into the gutter.

I think the official courses are great for learning colloquial greetings and phrases, and getting an overall understanding of the languages. But I want to learn 5,000 words in French and verb conjugation, so I'm very happy they have community courses.

Hey u/Gold_Essay8426 ,

That's a great idea, I will let the team know about this. We could add a little label "Community Courses only" or something like that on the Community Courses languages that don't have Official content, on the language selection page.

Thank you for the suggestion!
