Memrise is a language learning app that is the opposite of textbook learning: it’s enjoyable and effective. Founded in 2010, Memrise has quickly grown and now more than 40 million people in 189 countries learn languages with us to better themselves, connect with others and with the world around them.

Memrise’s courses have one thing that textbooks don’t: real-life language. Our team of in-house linguists are not only experts but also passionate about teaching you the language they speak themselves in everyday life. To add to the richness, our courses are packed with thousands of video clips of native speakers speaking in their native language, in their hometown. So you can learn to understand authentic voices and accents, as well as taking in the scenery and getting a sense of the culture. 

Memrise is built with a mix of technology and science that brings your mind to life. Re-reading endless lists of words and phrases is boring, and your brain knows it. We know that getting you to use what you are learning in a variety of ways and at specific times is exciting and effective, and your brain likes that!

Who’s ever been bored at school? We have! Which is weird, because the best learning happens when you are enjoying yourself so much that your attention is fully engaged. This is the test all of our content  must pass before making it to the app for millions to learn with. Make it fun, or go home.

What you'll get with this lesson:

Want to know how to learn Russian? It’s pretty simple: just get started!  When you take Russian lessons, you discover a whole new culture and way of life. Language is so much more than vocabulary – it’s people, culture, travel – and at Memrise, we wrap that all up in your Russian classes.

If you want to learn Russian from English, the first thing to tackle is the alphabet. Once you’ve mastered how to read and pronounce the letters, it’s actually pretty straightforward to learn Russian.

It’s not easy for everyone, but you’ll have the best fun doing it. Plus, the basic vocabulary words are the building blocks for the longer words, so you know more than you think. Hooray! Embrace the simplistic beauty of the language and be your best (Russian) you!

With so much information about how to learn Russian out there, it’s hard to know where to start. Here’s what the language learning experts at Memrise recommend.

As you start out to learn Russian from English, or any language, it’s important to start with the basics. Combine learning the Russian alphabet with basic grammar and some key vocabulary. Add a couple of everyday sentences and a few clever language hacks, and you have the recipe for natural conversation.

You can also get yourself some audio of useful Russian phrases. This might be from a language learning app, videos online or tapes from your local library. Play the audio aloud and repeat it back.

One of our top tips is to take Russian lessons on an app. Having your learning to hand on your phone is key to making it a natural habit. Any spare moment you like, you can recall what you’ve learned so far and throw in a couple more words. Little and often. That’s how to learn Russian online.

And don’t forget, language is about interpersonal connection. It’s about conveying thought, opinion and character – bridging the void with a fellow human being – not about 100% accuracy.

When considering how to learn Russian online, many people think of apps. It’s a popular method because an app is always with us, as we carry our phones everywhere. They also have advanced technology that can progress your learning at a speed that suits you. 

If you’re more often at a computer or don’t use a smart phone, you may want to focus on web-based learning. The choice of Russian lessons is wide and there are options available for a variety of abilities and budgets.

And a supplementary (but super fun!) way to learn Russian online is to watch Russian language films and listen to songs. Have you heard the Russian language version of Tatu’s All The Things She Said?  And it’s a great way to learn Russian from English. 

If you’re feeling brave, test your Russian out on the various social networking sites out there. Tweet what you did today in Russian. Put a picture of your lunch on Insta and caption it with the foodie vocab. As well as practice, by posting your Russian online, you get a nice little chance to show off your new skills – culinary and linguistic.

Don’t worry about mistakes. Language is about connecting with other people, not 100% accuracy. Other Russian speakers will be excited to see you’re learning and won’t worry if you occasionally fudge the subjunctive (this is not a euphemism).

In fact, that’s the most important point: there’s no place for perfectionism when you’re learning a new language. Worrying about speaking perfectly can actually add to stress, chucking the fun out the window. Everyone makes mistakes. That’s how to learn Russian!

The Memrise app will immerse you in your Russian lessons from day one. And that’s it, you’re hooked. You’ll see video clips from real Russian people speaking in their native language, in their hometown. So you can learn to understand authentic voices, not just bots.

You can learn Russian from English, and many other languages, offline and on our website too – there’s a huge variety of different methods on how to learn Russian online, so you won’t get bored of the same exercises as you advance through the levels. In fact, behind the scenes, adaptive technology will be creating new lessons based on how you’re doing. Clever stuff.

We think it’s vital you’re learning to speak Russian people *actually say*. Why learn Russian if you can’t communicate with people, only pass vocabulary tests?

That’s why we show you how to say things like ‘I think it’s cool,’ not ‘You are eating a sandwich’. And more basic Russian language like ‘Where’s good for pizza?’ and not so much ‘The woman likes milk’.  That’s how to learn Russian like a local.

Our award-winning tech is informed by cognitive science and cutting-edge research into language acquisition. It knows what you are due to review, which words and phrases to test you on, and when, so you learn Russian easily and far quicker than you could in the classroom.

Join over 35 million people learning a language on Memrise. Download the Memrise app or register online for free, for the best way to learn Russian whenever or wherever, online or offline.

We’re so happy you want to learn a new language! And Russian is a particularly excellent decision. Learning a language is a great way to make new connections, discover culture, travel, and continue your personal growth.

Let’s see what Memrise’s language learning specialists can show you about how to learn Russian fast. Whether you’re off to St Petersburg for a new job, on a trans siberian adventure, or just want a new skill to show off, we’re here to help you through your personal language journey.

So! Time to bust some myths and share some secrets. What is the best way to learn Russian? Let’s find out!

We don’t want to say how long is a piece of string, but this can vary wildly. But we think the most effective, in fact the best way to learn Russian, is to first tackle the Cyrillic alphabet.

Once you’ve got that down, you’ll find it’s pretty quick. How long it takes for you to familiarise yourself with an alphabet that’s new to you is really the question.

There are 33 letters in the Russian alphabet. Six (A, E, K, M, O, and T) look and sound the same as they do in English. Twelve sounds you’ll know too, but will need to match them to a new symbol.

The remaining 15 letters are actually one of the aesthetic reasons to learn Russian. They’re so beautiful! Take this one: Ж. Lovely, huh? It’s called ‘zhe’ and sounds like the s in pleasure. Very apt!

So, how long does it take to learn Russian? Not too long if you’re dedicated to learning and practise often. Little and often, recalling what you’ve learnt and adding a bit more. That’s how to learn Russian fast.

You’ve asked us: How long does it take to learn Russian? And we’ve explained that it really depends on a) how much effort and time you can dedicate to it and, b) your fluency goal.

We said that the best way to learn Russian is to learn the alphabet first. This is because Russian is a mostly phonetic language. With very few exceptions, you pronounce every letter in a word, so once you’ve got the alphabet down, you can confidently read aloud any word you see. This is how to learn Russian fast, and so unlike English pronunciation, which has more exceptions than rules!

Practise often and mix things up. This is by far the best way to learn Russian. Sign up to an online Russian course and and practise your vocab on the go with the best Russian language app, Memrise.

If you’re feeling brave, test your Russian out on the various social networking sites out there. Tweet what you did today in Russian. Put a picture of your lunch on insta and caption with the foodie vocab.  As well as practice, by posting your Russian online, you get a nice little chance to show off your new skills – culinary and linguistic. That’s what the internet is often about, let’s be honest.

And don’t worry about mistakes. Language is about connecting with other people, not 100% accuracy. Other Russian speakers will be excited to see you’re learning and won’t worry if you occasionally fudge the subjunctive (this is not a euphemism).

In fact, that’s the most important point: there’s no place for perfectionism when you’re learning a new language. Worrying about speaking perfectly can actually add to stress, chucking the fun out the window. So throw yourself into it. No runner ever won a race by hovering nervously at the start line. Let’s get started!

The Memrise app will immerse you in a language so you’ll learn Russian fast. You’ll see videos from real Russian people speaking in their native language, in their hometown. So you can learn to understand authentic voices, not just bots.

You can learn offline and on our website too – with a huge variety of learning methods. This is the best way to learn Russian, because you won’t get bored of the same exercises as you advance through the levels. In fact, behind the scenes, adaptive technology will be creating new Russian lessons based on how you’re doing. How long does it take to learn Russian? Not that long when a robot is building you a bespoke course as you go!

We think the best way to learn Russian is to speak the way people do *in real life*. Why learn Russian fast if you can’t communicate with people, only pass vocabulary tests?

That’s why we show you how to say things like ‘I think it’s cool,’ not ‘You are eating a sandwich’. And more basic Russian language like ‘Where’s good for beer?’ and not so much ‘The woman likes milk’.

Our award-winning tech is informed by cognitive science and cutting-edge research into language acquisition. It knows what you are due to review, which words and phrases to test you on, and when. So now you know how to learn Russian fast!

So you’ve mastered the basics and want to move on to intermediate Russian. We’re so pleased you’re enjoying the language and want to to take your learning to the next level. Let us show you the way to become a polyglot!

As you progress on your language learning journey, you’ll make yet more meaningful connections with people, get under the skin of the culture and go further with personal development. And as you learn to read Russian, a whole world of literature opens up.

We’re going to introduce you to advanced and intermediate Russian vocabulary and grammar, as well as talk through the most effective learning methods. Let’s get started!

You’re ready to take it up a notch. You’ve got to grips with the alphabet, have some basic vocabulary down, and are ready to move on to intermediate Russian.

Congratulations! Perseverance is key to learning a language, and your commitment to laying the foundations means most of the hard work is out of the way.

As you learn to read intermediate Russian, you’ll start to come across those occasional exceptions to pronunciation rules. As you’ll know, Russian is predominantly a phonetic language, so you mostly pronounce every letter of each word. Now it’s time to learn the anomalies.

It’s also time to dive deeper into sentence structure and grammar. And grow your… what’s the word? Vocabulary!

Practice your reading and listening comprehension. In reality, people speak faster than in some of the lessons you’ve probably been taking. You’ve learned to walk – it’s time to jog, then run!

If you’ve already taken a complete Russian beginner to intermediate course and want to continue towards fluency – bravo!

If you’re using an advanced language learning app like Memrise, your learning will grow with you, but it’s important to vary your practice and soak up as much Russian from intermediate to advanced as you can – in the real world.

Watch the news, watch films, listen to the radio and read literature. Is it time to tackle Tolstoy or Dostoevsky in the original Russian? If you learn to read Russian to an advanced level, there’s so much fantastic art available to you – old and new.

As you progress through intermediate Russian, the grammar you learn isn’t just a skill to tick off, it’s a way to connect more deeply with people. The subjunctive, for example, means you can discuss ‘If only I were…’ situations. A bit more meaningful and intimate than ‘I am…’

Even at this later stage, it’s important to allow yourself to make mistakes. People are going to be so happy you’re learning Russian, they won’t mind if you occasionally mess up your grammar. In fact, putting yourself out there and trying is the best way to learn.

So, wherever you are on your language learning journey, Memrise has the complete Russian beginner to intermediate course… all the way to advanced!

Japanese for Beginners

“I want to learn Japanese!” I hear you cry. No fear, Memrise is here to help. Learning any language is both exciting and can feel challenging, especially when it is so different to English, as is the case with Japanese.

Japanese is spoken by over 120 million people, mostly in Japan, and is a beautiful language with a rich history. Learning it will open up the fascinating world of Japanese culture, as well as enable you to communicate with a few million more people in the world!

Whether you are about to embark on a new journey to learn Japanese, or you have already started, Memrise’s Japanese course will have you covered.

Some people will tell you that Japanese is a very difficult language for English speakers to learn. Here’s the truth about how hard it is to learn Japanese: it’s no more so than any other language!

As long as you are learning with a good quality Japanese course, that keeps you engaged and practising often, you’ll be good to go.

Everyone’s motivations for learning Japanese will vary. You might have friends or loved ones whose native language is Japanese; or perhaps you are really into its pop culture, manga, cuisine, or all of its culture!

Whatever your goals for learning Japanese, make sure that you are having fun while learning. Luckily for you, Memrise’s courses are designed with fun firmly at the forefront!

We learn best when we are having fun - it’s also the easiest way to stay motivated and on course for our language learning journey. Learning Japanese won’t be hard, because you’ll be too busy having fun.

Many people want to learn Japanese because they love Japanese culture. And that’s no surprise! With its millennial history and widely appealing contemporary culture, it would be hard to think of reasons why not to want to learn more about it!

You might be looking for a Japanese course because you plan to travel to Japan and want be able to be really immersed in your trip, or perhaps you have relatives, friends and loved ones who speak Japanese, and you can't wait to say "gochisōsama deshita" to thank them for a lovely meal.

Either way, by learning the Japanese language, you’ll have access to a direct hotline to the culture too!

If you’re interested in Japanese culture you probably already know that politeness is key in communication. You may have seen Japanese people bowing a lot to one another. Yet politeness is not only executed in action but in language as well.

There are several different kinds of titles you use depending on who you speak to, called honorifics. These are a bit like “Mr” and “Miss”, except you stick them onto the ends of words, and there is a much wider variety of them in Japanese, including ones you use when addressing children.

There are other sounds you can also add to words to make them sound more respectful. Did you know that Japanese people are more likely to say "o-sushi" instead of just "sushi"? They want to pay respect to the lives and effort put into making that sushi and they express that by referring to the sushi respectfully. Quirky, right? But how fun is that!? Do they respect "udon" as well? Well, why don't you learn and find out.

If you’re still unsure if it will be easy to learn Japanese, give Memrise a try and you’ll discover that it's easy to learn Japanese. Memrise makes language learning feel like a breeze. With the Memrise Japanese course you learn essential vocabulary and phrases that you can use immediately in the real world.

If you want exposure to Japanese culture, there’s nothing more authentic than native speakers, speaking Japanese as you learn it! Our course features video clips of exactly that - native Japanese speakers, using the language in their natural contexts.

Maybe that’s not enough for those who are thinking, I want to learn more Japanese! That’s great, we love an enthusiastic learner. There is also pronunciation practice and listening skills practice too.

In addition, you can train your difficult words (which we will identify for you), and for a change of pace, review what you learn at lightning speed in one of our Speed Review sessions.

Our award-winning tech is informed by cognitive science and cutting-edge research into language acquisition. It knows what you are due to review, which words and phrases to test you on, and when, so you can learn Japanese far quicker than you could in the classroom.

Wondering how to learn Russian language? We can help. You might want to take in-person Russian language lessons, learn online or download an app. These are all great options.

But if you want to learn the Russian alphabet, you can’t do much better than an app. We may be a bit biased, but we think having your learning on hand, right there in your pocket or handbag, makes it easier, smarter and more fun! We’ll also make it super simple for you to learn Russian grammar.

Whichever method you choose (cough, app!), or in fact have a mix of a few, we’re excited you’re starting out on your Russian language course. There’s nothing quite like connecting with a whole new culture. Enjoy!

The best way to learn Russian language basics is to practise! Learn the Russian alphabet by reciting it every day. Speak Russian while you’re pootling about the house. Start a Whatsapp group with other Russian speakers and talk about your pets, television or the latest political scandal

If you really want to know how to learn Russian language skills, you’ve got to learn Russian grammar and combine it with some basic vocab. You’ll discover this on whichever Russian language course you choose.

Most important of all: there’s no place for perfectionism when it comes to practising Russian. In fact, worrying about speaking perfectly can actually hinder your progress. 

Remember: everyone makes mistakes. That’s how to take Russian language lessons… like a boss!

If you’re worried about how to learn Russian language, you needn’t be. Though you might find it alien to learn the Russian alphabet, the grammar shares many grammatical systems and patterns with other languages you may be more familiar with.

One of the first things you’ll look at when you learn Russian grammar is gender. The gender affects words across the Russian vernacular. Don’t worry too much about it now, but pay attention to the gender of vocabulary as it’ll help you out for future Russian language lessons without you even realising!

Another basic when you learn Russian language is adjectives. Again, the ending will often change depending on the gender, as in many European languages.

The second person pronoun, ‘You’, can be formal or informal in Russian. It’s probably better to default to formal – Вы (note the capital letter). If you go straight to informal, you might cause offence, especially with older people or strangers.

But remember! If you’re taking a Russian language course, grammar isn’t the most important thing. Connection is. While grammar is helpful in building your own sentences, which is vital in conversation (learning things by rote is ok, but conversation is essential!), it’s better to just give talking a go and make a human connection.

When you talk to people in Russian, they’re going to be more interested in getting to know you and having a laugh than seeing you can use the subjunctive correctly. In fact, they probably won’t even notice!

The Memrise app will immerse you in your Russian language course. And that’s it, you’re hooked. You’ll see videos from real Russian people speaking basic Russian words for beginners in their native language, in their hometown. So you can learn to understand authentic voices, not just bots. That’s how to learn Russian language!

You can learn offline and on our website too – there’s a huge variety of ways to learn Russian grammar and to learn the Russian alphabet, so you won’t get bored of the same exercises as you advance through the levels. In fact, behind the scenes, adaptive technology will be creating new Russian language lessons based on how you’re doing. Clever stuff.

We think it’s vital you learn what Russian people *actually say*. When you learn Russian language, you probably want to make conversation.

That’s why we show you how to say things like ‘I think it’s cool,’ not ‘You are eating a sandwich’. And to learn basic Russian like ‘Where’s good for pizza?’ and not so much ‘The woman likes milk’.

Our award-winning tech is informed by cognitive science and cutting-edge research into language acquisition. It knows what you are due to review, which words and phrases to test you on, and when, so you learn Russian for beginners easily and far quicker than you could in the classroom.

Extra practice for the words and phrases you've made mistakes on

Well done! Why don't you learn some new words?

You’ve reviewed all the words that were fading from your memory!

Reviewing words you've learned will stop your memory fading

Nothing to review yet

Memrise’s learning tech is guided by three simple but powerful principles, taken from the best scientific research on learning:

It’s not as scary as it sounds! The Testing Effect is just the name of the scientific finding that we learn better when we are tested on information, rather than just looking at it. That’s why everything in Memrise, apart from the first presentation of new words, is a mini test – because that works best for your long-term recall. 

Every time we are tested on a word, our memory of it strengthens. This starts to fade over time, but it fades slower the better we know the word. The most effective way to keep the memory is seeing the word over gradually increasing intervals of time, just before we forget it. That’s why Memrise has a built-in algorithm that calculates the optimum moment to test you on words, so your memory stays sharp.

This is the principle of what makes an effective learning programme: start with simpler information and increase the complexity over time. This is how we design Memrise courses. We won’t throw you into the deep end so you lose motivation, or teach you senseless, random phrases you’ll never use. We give you a strong foundation and build on that progressively so that your learning sticks in the long term. 

There is some hardcore science behind our course design. However, none of it would make the final cut if it could not also be the most important thing of all – fun! The best learners are the most engaged. Only when we are engaged do we pay attention, and we remember best when we pay attention. So that’s why Memrise is an enjoyable learning experience. It’s also the only way to ensure you stay motivated and keep coming back for more learning!

Dr Hannah Tickle did her PhD at UCL and is currently a post-doc at the University of Oxford. She does research on what goes on in human brains when we learn and make decisions. Hannah continues her research in Oxford once a week and spends the rest of her time at Memrise, improving the learning experience on the app. In her spare time, she is an avid poker player.

Memrise app is available both on mobile and desktop browser

The page you're looking for has withered away...

It doesn’t have to be difficult! The secret to making learning a language easier (and fun!) is quite simple - don’t stress about the details, learn what interests you, and immerse yourself in the language.
 
 
Many traditional learning methods insist on teaching irrelevant words and focusing on grammar. It would take weeks before getting to learn things that you find interesting and useful in the real world. So why not learn phrases about travelling if you love to travel? Or phrases about food if you’re into that. Learning a language through what you already love keeps you motivated, helps you contextualise the language, and makes learning much easier and enjoyable.

Starting to learn a new language can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. The best way to start learning a new language is by finding something that you're interested in. If you love to travel, for example, start by learning about travel. There are plenty of resources out there, from online courses to apps like Memrise, that can help you get started. And once you start getting the hang of things, keep yourself engaged and immersed in the language by reading books, watching movies, or listening to music in the language you're trying to learn. With a little bit of effort, you'll be speaking like a native in no time.

Yes you can! Learning a language with an app is better than textbook learning for a number of reasons:
 
 
Learn on your phone wherever you are, whenever you want. This is convenient, especially if you have a busy schedule or are always on the go.
 
Smart algorithms know your learning levels and keep you challenged. This ensures that you are always making progress and not just repeating the same lessons.
 
Apps like Memrise are packed with videos of native speakers that show you what the language sounds like in real life. This is helpful for understanding the rhythm and flow of the language.
 
Memrise also lets you customise your learning journey - choose the phrases most important to you and learn those first. No one wants to be forced to learn to count to 1000 before getting what you really need.

Want to see a country with rich history, exciting attractions, and delicious food? Then you should definitely visit the United Kingdom! From the remote island of Islay to the vibrant city of London, there's something for everyone in this beautiful country. And of course, no visit to the UK would be complete without trying some traditional English dishes like fish and chips or Yorkshire pudding.

Spain is a renowned tourist destination for good reason - its stunningly well preserved architecture and historical landmarks, Mediterranean atmosphere, delicious food, and passionate people make it a truly unique and unforgettable place to visit. And of course, no trip to Spain would be complete without experiencing the vibrant nightlife of Barcelona or Madrid!

Mexico is a country full of culture, history, and delicious food. From the urban oasis of Xochimilco to the beautiful beaches of the Riviera Maya, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The food is world renowned, with a wide variety of regional cuisines to choose from. And, of course, the people are warm and welcoming, making Mexico an ideal holiday destination.

There's simply so much to see and do in France. From the stunningly preserved castles of the Loire Valley to the chic boutiques of Paris, there's really something for everyone. Let's not forget the food - from rich cheeses to delicate pastries, French cuisine will surely tantalize your taste buds. Book a flight to France and be prepared to fall in love with this fascinating country.

Italy is a beautiful country with so much to offer. The food is amazing, the people are friendly and the scenery is stunning. Italy is also home to some of the world's most famous art and architecture, including the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Sistine Chapel. Whether you're interested in art, architecture or simply want to enjoy some of the best food and wine in the world, Italy is the perfect destination.

From the vibrant city life of Tokyo to the tranquil beauty of the Japanese Alps, Japan is filled with natural beauty and modern wonders. Japan is also famous for its cuisine, so you’ll want to try everything from sushi to yakitori here. The people of Japan are some of the most welcoming and friendly people you will ever meet. So whether you're looking for adventure or simply want to experience a different culture, Japan is definitely worth a visit.

While you technically don't need to know English to travel to the United Kingdom, it can certainly make your trip a lot easier. If you don't know the language, it can be difficult to navigate your way around. In addition, most people in the UK speak English, so unless you're specifically looking for someone who speaks your native language, you may have difficulty communicating with locals.

You don't need to be fluent in Spanish to travel to Spain. Many Spaniards speak English, especially in the tourist areas. So if you already know English, you will be able to get by. However, learning at least a few basic phrases will definitely make your trip more enjoyable. It will help you to connect with the locals and to navigate situations where English is not spoken.

While you don't need to be fluent in Mexican Spanish to enjoy your time in Mexico, understanding some basic phrases can definitely make your trip more enjoyable. Even if you know European Spanish, you may find that Mexican Spanish is quite different.

If you don’t know any French at all, you will face some difficulties while travelling around France. For example, you may have trouble ordering food or asking for directions. It may be easier for you to get around if you know English as many people in France have an understanding of English, but you’ll be able to get by much easier by learning a few essential phrases in French.

While it is not absolutely necessary to know Italian to travel to Italy, learning some basic Italian will make your trip more enjoyable. English is widely spoken in Italy, particularly in major cities and tourist areas. However, even if you only know a few basic phrases, making an effort to speak Italian will show locals that you are interested in their culture and willing to try to engage with them on their terms.

You don’t have to know Japanese for you to enjoy a trip to Japan, particularly in major cities and tourist attractions. However, it can be helpful to know some basic phrases and help you really connect with the locals and the culture.

You can start speaking these phrases from day one! Our talk-first approach not only helps you learn a new language fast, but we build your confidence to speak from the very first lesson.
 
 
When you worry too much about grammar and rules, it can make you feel like you’re never ready to speak and start disconnecting from the language. That’s why we get you to start speaking from the beginning, and let you choose to learn what’s important to you. If you like to travel, learn that first. If you need it to further your career, learn phrases that’s useful there instead. When you focus on material that excites you, you'll be more motivated to practice regularly and immerse yourself in the language. Soon enough, you'll be chatting away in your new language like a native speaker.

These hand-picked words and phrases are chosen by our language experts for two reasons: that they are useful in real-life situations, and they are spoken in the same way that a local would.
 
 
There is nothing more discouraging to a language learner than finding out that the phrases they’ve spent hours learning are irrelevant or outdated. You trust us to not only to teach you the language but to do it in a way that is useable in the real world and can connect with native speakers. Otherwise, what’s the point in learning a language if you can’t use it in real situations?

There are three problems that Memrise addresses from textbook learning. The first is that people often feel disengaged because they feel the content is either boring or irrelevant. We let you choose what’s important to you so you don’t have to wait to learn those phrases. Second, you can’t hear how the language sounds in a textbook. That’s why we have thousands of videos of native speakers to teach you instead. Lastly, you don’t get to speak it out loud. Our talk-first approach not only helps you learn a new language fast, but we build your confidence to speak from the very first lesson.

How quickly will I be able to start saying these words and phrases in the real world?
