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

I like a lot about this app, but some shortcomings. There aren't explanations or breakdowns in certain pronunciations that would be very helpful for new learners. It is great that the lessons are primarily taught by native speakers, but this also means they speak pretty quickly, fairly often. This makes it more challenging to break down phrases to learn, requiring phrases to be repeated, a lot, at times. I do wish the full subscription wasn't expensive, as there are lessons I can't get to.

I like this app i use it in addition to Duolingo. The videos it uses having real people speak the language is really cool and very helpful. One thing that I think would be helpful is when you do the scenario videos, instead of just asking the user if they understood the video or not, make the videos more interactive to gage the user's comprehension

Loved early experiences with the product, eventually had to refund, too many bugs that prevent progress (which let's not forget is probably *the* fundamental tenet of a language learning app, but hey, I'm no expert). Head of Customer Experience is clearly already on the beach spending the Series B cash. Incredibly frustrating to see a great product hit such a basic mismanagement speed bump, hoping they figure it out soon. For those looking for Arabic, Rocket is a reasonably priced alternative.
