Description

Join over 50 million people already using Memrise to learn as fast as humanly possible. Learn to speak a new language while having fun. Let real native speakers teach you their language from the streets of their home town through our Learn with Locals video clips. Sound just like one of them and impress the hell out of yourself and your friends.
Give us a try – your first lesson's on the house.
Choose your language:
French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, Turkish, Danish, Icelandic, Mongolian or Slovenian.
Why learn a new language with Memrise?
We've got killer learning science behind the scenes. It speeds up your learning and helps you remember your new words, as if your mind keeps hitting the save button. Not that you'd notice. You're too busy watching fun video clips, seeing real locals in bucket-list destinations and playing little quiz-type games. The opposite of textbook learning.
Wherever you Memrise, you're a million miles from the classroom.
The app get you speaking like a local. Then the good bit happens. You're in the moment, a local wants to talk. Do you freeze up? No. Not on our watch. You recall the key phrases you learned. You speak naturally. Not perfect but it's still good banter. You aren't worried. You're just going for it. You're off-the-charts confident.
Mic drop.
Download the Memrise app to:
- Learn with locals: we took real native speakers and shrunk them into the app. Your miniature friends help you learn fun, conversational phrases. A few swear words too.
- Practice games: our science does one-to-one coaching with your mind, while you have fun with Speed Review, Listening Skills, Difficult Words and Classic Review.
- Improve your pronunciation: so when you say 'beaucoup' (a lot) you never accidentally say it 'beau cul' (nice ass). Record yourself and our smart tech will tell you if you got it right or need to try again.
- Learn anywhere: download your course to learn in places that don't have signal and seem to be stuck in the 80s.
- Build an entertaining habit: learn as much or as little as you want. You only need 5 minutes a day to improve. Perfect for making your loo break a lot more fun.

love but also hate

Okay , when I first got this app I was in shock how good it was ! I could practice my korean speaking , grammar and everything needed to learn a language . But after a couple of days of having the app , I was told I had to pay to learn new words . This was disappointing, as I really want to learn korean !! But I can't now because I have to pay for it . So I guess it's great if your willing to pay otherwise it's a waste of time

Great app ! One or two bugs though !

A very good app ! Very easy to use and I love the layout. Only reason this is not 5 stars is on some of the grammar, it doesn’t matter what letter you pick, all of them are wrong ! Very frustrating and therefore left incomplete.

Good app but lost interest - need an autoreview /learn function

Good app which I used consistently for a long period of time.
However desperately needs an auto-learn or test placement feature for those individuals who are returning to a language. Very boring / frustrating to practice a level where you ate very confident in half the words and require some refresh for others.

Amazing app

So I don’t usually write reviews but this app is amazing. It’s really engaging and I’m a uni student so I’ve recommended this app to a few friends. I’ve learnt french since I was around 10 and had the basics, this app has really expanded my knowledge and taught me many things :).

Good app but...

Good app but lately when I get something wrong and press the ‘help me learn this’ button it’s started coming up with weird things, here are some actual ones, ‘’£2.50 curries’ and ‘bruh U DUMB’ I don’t why but I can’t learn the new words now so please fix this. ~Thanks.

One of the best! ...however, lacks syllable stress indication

I have tried many language learning apps over the past couple of years and this has got to be one of the best and my favourite. I love the fact you learn with locals, I find that really effective and stimulating. I also love the fact you learn useful everyday words and phrases from the outset. However, it would be really helpful if the stressed syllables were indicated/highlighted, for ease; especially if you are still training or find it difficult to tune your ears to the language’s nuances.

Good but room for improvement

Great things:
Having a GIF of a real french person say a word or phrase brings the language to life and adds to the experience immeasurably
Having regularly posted short, upbeat and whimsical videos where the hosts discuss a topic add a touch of immersion and provides a method by which I can test my knowledge by seeing how much I understand.
The review function is brilliant, takes the work out of manually going back to review past material and it creates a mixed material deck using the science of spaced repetition which is even better.
Improvements:
The point scoring is borderline pointless, would be much better if there was achievements/badges to collect instead (streak of 30 days, learnt 20 words in a day, etc...)
Personally would love to have a option where I can choose which types of learning methods are used. For instance I prefer to use flash cards, it says a word in English or french, I tap to reveal the answer and swipe left or right if I got it right. Personally find multiple choice too easy and gives a false sense of understanding and success.
Would like to see more of the GIF’s after the initial introduction of a word/phrase.
For the ‘immerse’ videos, would like to turn off the subtitles all together not just switch between English and french.

Love it but would like more work related content

I’m learning German for a new job. Trying to reach a level where I can understand easy conversations within 5 months. Memrise is good app to learn German as it combines vocabulary and sentences at the same time. However, the content are very directed to travellers. I would imagine for any travellers to Germany, they wouldn’t have to learn German intensely as most younger Germans can speak English.
It would be great for memrise to create content target for people who are more invested in learning German for professional or other long term reasons. :)
Overall, I love the app. And highly recommend.

Completely changed

When I first used Memrise about 5ish years ago it was COMPLETELY free. 100s of courses all free. I haven’t used Memrise for a while but thought i would to touch up my German and I am completely devestated that you now have to pay!! This app used to be popular due to the great way of learning and that it was free. And I can see from other reviews now that it’s riddled with bugs! Seems like Memrise has gone from actually caring about people learning to just trying to make money!!

Useful, but biased

I’m finding the app a very good way to learn a new language. However, we are only learning how to pronounce/recognise words in the masculine form. This is biased and unhelpful. Has anyone recognised this from the memrise team? More balance is necessary. As a female, I answered a question in the feminine, nao obrigada. It was marked wrong!

This is definitely the app for me! Thanks guys and stay safe out there x

Don’t use for Japanese

Try typing a correct answer in Kanji and it’ll mark you incorrect if it has the answer in Hiragana. Useless app with no way to make suggestions. Avoid and just use Wanikani, Bunpro and Anki

The best app for vocab learning?

I have used Memrise for a while, and it’s only getting better and better.
I tried to use Duolingo once to learn Korean, but gave up after 30 minutes and went back to Memrise. You guys do such a great job in actually explaining the structure of the letters, the syllables and sometimes grammar. And your voiceovers are amazing!
And i love how you keep creating more and more content over the years, loving the French daily videos.
Please keep it up! I really adore your app.

Fix this please

Hi I have been using Memrise for a number of years now to learn languages I do not speak as much as I used to but this is now a issue as your courses such as the Portuguese course for European portuguese is locked and you must pay to continue I don’t have money to do so and it originally was free for the full course so please please fix this and make it free or I will use another app

Pretty good

I’m using it to learn Japanese and revise French (by my teachers recommendation) and I think so far it has been great! It really helps you remember things.
Only thing is I get up in the morning and I have more than 40 notifications from this app. If I turn them off I forget to practice, but they don’t go away even if I do my lesson.
Besides that, it’s very useful!

Bait and switch billing tactic

Today I downloaded the App and on the first page it opened to there was an offer for a 7 day free trial after which there was an offer for £29.99 per year subscription, so I clicked through for the free trial and I authorised the purchase as you would do to any app, even if it’s free, to find I had been charged £59.99! Even if this app was incredible, I would never use because of your bait and switch billing tactic, which is essentially theft, taking an amount that is never agreed upon. Not ethical and not good business practise.

Learning with Native Speakers.

I have recently moved to France and I find this app extremely useful as you get to hear native speakers using the language, not the normal received pronunciation you sometimes get in learning systems. I have used a number of different ways of learning foreign languages and whilst immersion in the actual country is the best way of learning this app comes a good second.

It’s good!!! Until...

I absolutely love this app! I’ve been learning Spanish and it’s so helpful!! But however I went to go onto Th e second part of the course and I can’t!! Guess what!!! I have to pay to go into the second part and there are 17 parts in course one!! This really isn’t helpful I would really appreciate it if u could open up more sections if the course as this could put people off the app. Plz plz plzzzzzzz fix this as I wanted to use Memrise for my Spanish home schooled lessons but I can’t now. 🥺🥺😭😭🤞Or else Great app

Overall, good app for learning languages.

Very good app. If I had to be really picky then I would complain about the lack of instructions. You do not get told at the start “Press this button to do this” or even “There are lots of different levels to complete. Each time you memorise a word completely you get closer to the next level” It’s just a pain having to work everything out when you haven’t used it before. Overall, I would recommend this to people trying to learn languages, but make sure you know how to use it befo

Alright but it used to be better

I used to love doing the “Speed reviews” and listen to the voice say the word.
This way I remember the word plus the pronunciation. Why is this not working anymore?... I hate to have something taken away. On desktop that feature still works but not my IPhone:(

For the Italian course in the seasonal sections there is a mistake. On the app it says that primavera is winter when it is in fact spring and it also says that inverno is spring when it is winter. Please fix this issue as soon as possible. Thank you

How can the tenth word you learn in German be sh1t?

Was trying out the app with my daughter and found that the tenth word you learn is sh1t in German. Is there no way to not include swear words in the learning process?
This was resolved and we are really enjoying the app.

Ignoring Customers

Wow, every time I update the app it gets worse. It looks more and more empty and unfinished. Seriously, your company needs to LISTEN to your customers and stop making fake youtube videos your No.1 priority. What a cheek to ask for £60 a year from your customers when you don’t even listen to feedback. As a paying customer I’m very disappointed and will be cancelling my subscription. So disappointed.

Great app but 1 major problem

I absolutely love this app in general, I’m learning European Portuguese and have learned so quickly. However, I really wish the pronunciation part of the app could be improved. It always says I’m pronouncing the words wrong (even when I try multiple times) and my Portuguese friend cannot understand it either as he says that my pronunciation is perfect - the app even said that his pronunciation was wrong when he tried the feature, even though he’s a native Portuguese speaker! Other than that it’s by far the best app I’ve used for learning languages, but it would be really fantastic if you were able to make the pronunciation feature more accurate!

I achieved my GCSE level B in French about 16 years ago... this is the best app I have come across to help refresh my memory and to teach me new words.
I like how you can hear and visually see the people speaking the language too, it really helps as I am a visual learner.
Thank you Emily for suggesting this brilliant app to me!
