What do you like best about Memrise?

Memrise helps me mainly to do multiple online short courses just by sitting in my office or at home. This platform has multiple foreign language courses that it offers that to free of cost and in a fun way through video, audio and infographic content. It creates engagement with their audience and gives a good user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memrise?

The main challenge that I faced while using Memrise is its inconsistency in providing quality content for all the languages. Some of the courses were great in the beginning but after the second course, the quality content got worse which may be because the creator of those content were not that effective but they were worthless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Memrise?

The platform is unique in terms of giving a learning experience. The fonts and interface are quite interactive and engaging and helped me to learn basic German in just is few months. It asks lots of questions and takes tests in regular progression for tracking results. Memrise also provides small videos so that the user can observe the language and gain soft accent.

What do you dislike about Memrise?

Although it was a good experience working with memrise but I have noticed that they need a proper internet connection so that the software can work smoothly without lagging also still now they have not developed their ios version of the software which is challenging when it comes to scaling with all of the sales team.

What do you like best about Memrise?

The app has built in a certain way that enables users to learn new courses related to new languages and vocabulary. It also provides repetitive exercises to its users to learn and practising the contents it provides. The best part of the application is it is mobile-friendly and also has a free version with lots of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memrise?

The main disadvantage of the platform is that it only provides learning materials that are vocabulary oriented and which makes it difficult for a person looking to learn the grammatical part of the language. If they could bring it in a web version that would have been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Memrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it whenever and wherever I get free time from my work because of its easy accessibility from my mobile device and start learning a language that is relevant to my business communication currently I am learning French words in an exciting way than I had ever imagined.

Memrise is a great quick multi-language learning platform that helps us to learn the languages we need in the most fun and engaging way. The software has approximately 25 major languages which can be easily accessed by the user in its app through mobile devices just logging in on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memrise?

The app is good and very interactive but the premium of the platform is a little costly they charge appropriately 365 rupees per month for its subscription and there are some of the platform available which provides these services free of cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Memrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

The platform helped us mainly in understanding the basics of a few foreign languages. I mostly log in through my phone to their app and start learning through the content which they provide and there is enough content in the free version of the software. Overall it is a good place to start learning about new languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Memrise?

I have my students use memrise in my foreign language classes for vocabulary homework. SInce I started using this app, my students have improved 150% in their retention of new vocabulary. The app is simple, straightforward, keeps track of everyone's progress, and uses the science of how we learn to ensure long-term retention of the material (as opposed to "cramming" material for a test or quiz). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memrise?

Because Memrise does not allow you to assign sets of words and track individual student progress, I have had to create a work-around to ensure that my students use Memrise to study the assigned words each night. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Memrise:

Try it for yourself for a week. You'll never go back!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Memrise solving and how is that benefiting you?

Students don't know how to study vocabulary on their own. Making lists and reading them is not a method of learning new vocabulary (despite what most of my students think). Memrise makes learning new vocabulary easy and effective. Not only do they learn what the words mean but the app also forces them to learn the spelling! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Memrise?

It has the repetition of all words during all days, and it includes the pronunciation of the words and dictation of them, and it has the examples which can help us to memorize words more easier. Some examples allow me to make special codes to help me memorize them more easier and stay words in my mind for a long time. Furthermore, by connecting to my friends and creating the competition atmosphere, I am motivated to memorizing more and more words. The competitive air can really help me to work with memrise for many hours even at late night. In addition, it has the extensive variety of books and words. I can find everything in every level on memrise. Till now I use memrise in some fields such as Essential word for TOEFL, Barrons GRE word, 504 words, 1100 words. And it is so surprisingly that my little nephew who has just 6 years old saw my memrise application on my phone and insist to use the program, I have to install the program on his tablet and starting a simple course of English words. It is very hard for me to believe that he could work with it and memorize words by the correct pronunciations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memrise?

some simple words repeat many times and it is boring for me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
