Memrise is an app that offers both free and paid subscriptions. The cost of a paid subscription varies depending on how long of a commitment you make and gives some extra perks, like chatbots for practicing conversation. Even within the free model, there is a lot of content, but know that the quality of the content can vary a lot. Some courses are officially created by Memrise, some are user-created, and the official courses will be vetted in ways that the user-created courses aren't. Memrise functions as an interactive flashcards app, introducing new vocabulary and then using spaced repetition to help you retain it. You’re tested with different types of questions: multiple choice, fill in the blank, or tasks to rearrange the sentence in the right order. The official Memrise courses have audio recorded by native speakers and sometimes intersperse short videos. One thing some people like about the app is that it gives not only the translation but also the literal translation. For example “je la connais” translates to “I know her” but literally, it’s “I her know.” Memrise shows both versions of the phrase to ease learners into new sentence structures. Learners can use the official courses or build their own vocabulary and phrase decks on Memrise, but detailed grammar explanations aren’t central to this approach. As we do with all apps, we advise you not to rely solely on this software to teach you a language - it should be just one part of your language-learning strategy!
