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

Ratings and reviews

As a long-time user of the app, the neglect of the community courses always caused me issues and stopped me paying for memrise. They were hard to find and reset. I came back to the app, hoping they'd fixed the issues, only to find out they'd decided to become useless instead. Access to the fantastic community created courses has been stopped completely.

I really like this app, i have a fulltime premium account but recently they changed the way the lessons are set out so you have to choose which lesson you do each day instead of it having each type of lesson in a sequence. This really puts it down a star for me as its difficult to decide which type of lesson to do , im not sure why they changed it but it was a lot better of a learning tool before.

I like this app, I've tried several language apps and found this one best. I found a few months back that videos in the app were no longer sorted by words known and so I have to use the memrise website to find videos at my level. I tried to report this twice using the contact us form in help and got no reply. Also minus one star for an app where if you scroll down a list, look at one of the items on it and then go back to the list it takes you back to the top of the list, so frustrating.

What's new

We have retired community courses from the app in this build. All of your community courses and your learning progress in them have been moved to a new Community Courses website. To read more and head to this new site, please search for the Memrise blog.
