What other learners are saying

★★★★★ "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 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

So demotivating. Lacklustre course design and increasing sense of data harvesting since recent updates. There is no regular review element and little sense of build-up or progress. The AI conversations are frustrating and seem to be designed to extract personal information from the user. I don't wish to share personal information with an AI and certainly wouldn't want to prop up the dream of a language learning machine that the asset holders behind this app seem to be caught up in.

I highly recommend it, great alternative to Duolingo after the whole AI thing. The fact that it uses videos of fluent speakers to teach has really helped, especially with Greek & how to write the letters. Has the streak system as well but doesn't guilt trip you into doing it, it asks when to remind you & only sends reminders then. Also, no annoying ads at the end of each lesson! 10/10

I've been using Memrise since 2016 and I used to love it but it's changed a lot. The most recent update to its UI is far less user-friendly than before, more awkward to navigate. Progress is no longer linear, making it harder to track than before, when you could see each unit clearly, one by one. Now it's got this weird "points" basis going on. Also what happened to spelling exercises, selecting the correct audio, ordering sentences?? All I do recently is tap boxes!! Where did the variety go??
