What other learners say

★★★★★ "I've been using Memrise for about two years, studying European Portuguese. I have the paid version - it's a solid learning tool, and it has been my primary resource ever since I got it. I find the Learn with Locals feature to be especially useful, more so as my Portuguese improves. My wife and I spent a couple of weeks in Portugal a few months ago, and we were able to handle all of our transactions - stores, restaurants, markets, car rental, etc!" — Voloúre

Memrise is a great language learning app when it comes to increasing your vocab of the target language you're learning. However, using only one language learning app or software is not enough when you want to achieve a high level of proficiency in the target language. Nonetheless, I've been using Memrise Pro for almost 2 years now, to increase my vocab in German and it has been very helpful. Therefore, I highly recommend it to all language learners.

Used a few hours and am impressed compared to similar aps. I didn't know I could select more than 1 word list, so I wound up doing semi-advanced conversations for moving abroad, which is a bit too difficult currently (yet still had fun). I tried going backward in lessons but couldn't, so I deleted all progress and am starting anew. Lessons have no tags/labels, so navigation is a bit convoluted. Will have to see what else is on here and re-review.

This is a good flashcard app. But, it seems to me that it's a poor language learning app: - it teaches phrases, and constantly asks you to translate phrases as a whole without focus on the words or context - it doesn't appear to teach verb conjugations, other than one word at a time - it has no placement test to get started at the right level - the flashcard learning system is overly repetitive of some words, in cases teaching an individual word along with multiple phrases using it
