    Unfortunately as of 2024 Memrise has retired this course, stating that Kouri-Vini “isn’t a language & therefore is not eligible for application access.” When you search for it or visit any direct links, it takes you to a landing page reading: “The page you’re looking for has WITHERED away.” They pose this deeply unsettling message alongside an image of a dying flower. This comes as a disappointment for many users— nearly SEVEN THOUSAND learners to be specific— as this was one of the very few centralized resources for learning Kouri-Vini. As of right now, the course has migrated to Memrise’s branch-off website for Community Courses, & is only accessible via desktop.
