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

Ratings and reviews

Great for many languages but do not recommend if you're learning Portuguese from Brazil. The Brazilian Portuguese Course uses AI Avatars instead of real people which just feels lazy. I've checked and on Chinese, German, French, European Portuguese, and both European and Mexican Spanish they have actual videos of natives speaking, while BR-PT just uses random photos with an AI filter to make it look like the mouth is moving. Please show the same amount of care as you do with your other courses.

Overall, memrise is fantastic learning software. The pacing is good. They give you literal translations, which really helps you understand the language. They also have recordings of locals speaking so you can develop an ear for the language. I will say, I'm not a fan of the speed review, but there's no penalty for skipping it, but there is an option to reduce the amount of words you do in a session, more than 10 can get stressful.

Update: I miss the old version of memrise. It has become much less enjoyable and sometimes a bit of a pain to be in. The chatbot is way too advanced for me as a beginner. It uses words and concepts they haven't yet taught, which is highly discouraging since the app is constantly pushing me into the unusable (for my level) chatbot. I miss the cute videos of natives saying the phrases. It made the app feel more human/connected and made it fun for me.
