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

This app has potential. My biggest things are having to pay to have the grammatically explained to you. Limiting those explanations make it harder to fully grasp language learning. Also, the lessons move way too fast. When answering a question, you can't just reflect on it for a second, because it almost immediately goes to the next question. Navigating through the app is overwhelming and showing lessons that free users cannot access is just distracting. Learning common phrases does help.

I've been using this for years. It used to be the best out of ALL of the apps, and suddenly they uprooted everything that made it great in the first place. Videos used to be better, with the videos of locals speaking to be awesome. Now they added AI, which is the most alienating thing. Stop resetting my streak every day!!!! Videos rarely ever work anymore, and most of the time just error and don't play at all. They make it IMPOSSIBLE to upgrade your subscription to a better plan. Fix this!

So I started Memrise about 2 weeks ago and I really like the program and the way it is taught. I love native Spanish people showing the correct way to say the words. My only problem, I need a way to slow everything down. I can't hear some of the harder words because it is spoken too fast for me to understand each syllable. I would like to suggest some type of slow motion button so I can say the word correctly. Some of the words are tongue twisters. I believe that would help tremendously. thanks
