Is Memrise for me?
What makes Memrise different from other language apps?
Memrise teaches you how people actually speak. Real native video. Smart review. Private AI practice. We help you sound natural, not textbook.
Do I need to know anything before I start?
Not at all. You can jump in as a total beginner, or pick up where other apps left off. Memrise adapts to you.
Will I really start speaking in the first week?
Yes. You’ll learn useful phrases fast, hear them from native speakers, and practice with AI until it clicks. That first real-world conversation? Closer than you think.
How much does it cost?
You can start learning for free. Our paid plan unlocks extra features, but building confidence doesn’t have to cost a thing. You can see a breakdown of what our plans cover here.
How long does it take to get fluent?
Memrise is designed to get you speaking fast and sticking with it. The more you show up, the more fluent you’ll feel.
Here's what we've seen though: learners who spend 15 minutes a day continuing their learning, can confidently have a basic conversation in 2 months.
Is Memrise good for travel, work, or relationships?
Yes to all three. Whether you’re ordering ramen in Tokyo or chatting with your partner’s family, Memrise helps you connect, not just translate.
What if I already use other tools and resources to learn my new language?
That's not a problem! Memrise works great as part of your language-learning stack. Use us for vocab that sticks, speech that sounds real, and progress you can feel.
