Why Memrise?
It’s the closest thing to actually being in the country.
Unlike robotic voiceovers or textbook dialogues, Memrise shows you real people speaking the language in their own accents, just like you’ll hear on the street. Learn how the locals actually talk, not just how they write.

Say goodbye to boring. Say hello to real-life language.
Memrise combines AI, real native speakers, and real-life content to help you learn vocabulary, understand local accents, build your own sentences, and start real conversations.

Here’s how it works:

🎥 Learn with native speaker videos
Watch short videos of real people speaking naturally — with the slang, tone and cultural context that other apps miss.

🧠 Memorize vocabulary that matters to you
No filler words here. Learn useful vocabulary and phrases based on what you care about, from ordering food to making friends.

👂 Train your ear to local accents
Our videos help you pick up natural pronunciation, so your listening skills keep up with your speaking.

🗣️ Practice speaking with AI Buddies
Try our new AI Buddies – your personal language tutors who help you build sentences, give cultural tips, and prep you for real conversations. No pressure, just practice.

🎯 Get confident, not just gamified
Memrise focuses on real progress. You’ll build skills that transfer from the app to the real world, not just rack up points.

Memrise helps you speak a new language confidently so you can:

❤️ Chat with your partner or their family
✈️ Travel with ease and connect with locals
🧠 Keep your brain sharp
📚 Prepare for an exam
💼 Boost your career
🎨 Understand another culture deeply

What makes Memrise different?
✔️ Native speaker videos (Learn with Locals)
✔️ Real-life scenarios and colloquial language
✔️ AI Buddies for private speaking practice
✔️ Based on a proven pedagogy (Learn, Immerse, Communicate)

Loved by learners around the world:

Comments on Memrise: Languages for Life for Android

★★★★★ Tai Afolabi · Jul 24, 2026

Memrise... what will I do without Memrise? Amazing app, excellent quality with a sure thorough and expert curriculum and way of passing out knowledge. Thank you very much for the contributions to my life of learning... Thank you for everything. God bless the creators of Memrise.

★★★★☆ Jerry Tom · Mar 21, 2026

One of the best language apps if you pay for the subscription, but after certain lessons you can't continue if you don't pay. Not like Duolingo and busuu which are free.

★★★★★ Thine Prime · Feb 5, 2026

There is native speakers inside the app (pre-recorded) that help you catch the language quickly. You are unable to move on to the next word or phrase until you really do understand it, and they break it down from listening, to reading, and actually writing it out yourself. From somebody coming from Rosetta Stone it is kind of refreshing to have this kind of approach to learning a new language. Good luck. Don't be too hard on yourself and learn that language!

★★★★★ Paul EMMERSON · May 21, 2026

Do not, nein, net take my word for it try it for yourself I hear it is excellent but do not, nein, net take my word for it try it for yourself zhen, zhen, zhen

★★★★★ Lark Tongue · May 21, 2026

Hello developers, your software is excellent, but I would like to request that you add a feature to the learned words sorting interface, allowing for sorting by the order in which I learned the words. This is because I copied down words and phrases during the learning process, and I want the sorting to match my learning order, but the word order gets messed up after reviewing. If you adopt my suggestion, I will be very happy. Finally, thank you for developing this application!

★★☆☆☆ Mahmoud Mokhtar · Mar 21, 2026

Don't have all the features you say you have including grammar and conjugate drills. Also the app sometimes stops loading after a session of review or learning

★☆☆☆☆ Helen S · Jul 25, 2026

So disappointed that Memrise has removed community content, particularly as no official replacement content is available for classical languages.

★☆☆☆☆ John Bradley · Jul 17, 2026

Frustrating interface. Text input randomly breaks. Audio input seems to work based more on context than actual pronunciation e.g. if I say "ジョンです" it will hear ジョン as 四. But, if I say "私はジョンです" it will "hear" it correctly. So, it obviously isn't going off the actual pronunciation that it is hearing but is instead inputting what it "wants" to hear based on context/predictive input. So, if it isn't based on your pronunciation, then how is it hoping to correct your pronunciation?

★★☆☆☆ JK Singh · Jul 25, 2026

My honest review is that the app was much more engaging and easy to learn languages earlier but now as the native speakers videos are missing...I can't say that memrise is the ideal app for learning.... they're using AI instead of real native speakers

★★☆☆☆ Tamim Sakhavat · May 23, 2026

It used to be better. Now when continue learning, it just shows you bunch of new words, and you have to go to review section or bots for practicing pronunciation or role play etc by yourself 🤨!!!! Why? It was perfect before and much more fun 😶
