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)

Comments on Memrise: Languages for Life for Android

★★★★★ 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

★★★★☆ 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.

★★★★★ 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!

★★★★★ 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!

★★☆☆☆ 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

★★☆☆☆ George Petsas · Jan 26, 2026

It's been giving me the same lesson for about 10 consecutive times now. Do I need to upgrade from the free plan to escape this loop?

★☆☆☆☆ ali rashid · Mar 21, 2026

I have a lifelong membership, so I am stuck, or else I would have deleted this app. There used to be a list where you could add sentences you want to practice more (difficult words). It still exists but It's now useless as Memrise keeps on removing from this list, totally on their own. This is invasive, condescending and ridiculous. I emailed but was replied this is how it works now, and they cannot change it.
