Memrise is an applications where you can learn German, Japanese, French, and more by using well-designed games and activities. This app stands out because of its stellar interface and an intuitive teaching style.

Study with ease

Memrise is a handy program for anyone looking to learn a new language by way of fun games and challenges.

Learning to speak a new tongue can be frustrating and is often confusing even before the first lesson is over. That’s why Memrise is a vital tool for anyone picking up a foreign tongue.

This app presents learners with a selection of over twenty languages. This is great if you’re planning to travel to another country for a few months. Memrise goes above and beyond with a wide selection of languages including Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Dutch.

The app uses the knowledge of native speakers to ensure you’re learning the proper pronunciation. Other applications mess this up, as non-native speakers are less accurate when pronouncing a new word. You don’t want an inaccurate lesson from an app that claims to be right.

Unlike other learning resources, Memrise is available exclusively through a monthly subscription. While this is a setback for some, it does enable the app to constantly stay up to date and improve your overall experience where free alternatives would fall behind.

With the monthly subscription fee, you have access to all the courses and languages that your device supports. You can play games designed to aid the process of memorization, so it’s worth the money.

You’ll find different game types once you download each course, so you have the freedom to study your chosen language anywhere you prefer, from quiet libraries to open fields.

Where can you run this program?

Memrise is available for mobile devices running Android 5.0 and up as well as iOS 11.0 or later.

Is there a better alternative?

Yes. While Memrise is an awesome program, it does have drawbacks. Rosetta Stone is a much more robust. Duolingo is also a fantastic alternative, and it’s free. Anki is another tool for studying and can help you drill in words with its flashcards feature.

Our take

Memrise is a great app for learning a new language, improving your vocabulary, and working on other areas of study in a foreign tongue.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you can afford the subscription fee and want to learn a new language, then this program is a must-have.
