Hi,
I would like to say, that these activities that I have mentioned are not on Duolingo or memrise, but these are the activities that I think would help me in learn the language, I believe that simply studying a set of random words will not do much in learning a language, specially the listening and speaking skills.
But I can tell one thing for sure, Duolingo and memrise is much influential than the current method lingvist is using.
Hi,
I started the German course recently, and I think it's pretty good, but I have a few suggestions that I would like to mention, (It's just what I think! 
Having levels or points would be motivating, like when one has reached a certain amount of words then there is a level. This sort of thing would make me use langvist everyday!
Rather than just learning a list of words, I would enjoy some other activities to be added, so that it makes me want to go on and on, learning the language. for example: like once I reach a certain amount of words then I could start working on comprehensions( both writing and listening), like mcq's!
Competitions would be fun to have! Like competitions on writing on a particular topic, like all members could be grouped and separated according to levels (level of language literacy) and according to the levels, members could choose the appropriate competition!,
and also maybe then higher level members could vote for each submission!
Thanks, btw I do like the statistic where the percentage of words known in any text is mentioned.
