Très mauvais la plus part des traductions sont hasardeuses et certaines fausses, le site est buger et l'intérêt est très faible, passez votre chemin.

Okay for vocabulary, but bad customer service.

I think that the vocabulary on offer is pretty much fine to get started, being mostly useful, commonplace words. The system of spaced repetition is also useful.

However, the intermediate and advanced sections are not as good, and I find that it really struggles with languages which use a different script such as Japanese, Chinese, or Arabic.

The customer service is also not very good at all. When trying to discuss issues with the billing on my account, I received only automated responses and am still waiting for a human operator to contact me.

J'ai eu des difficultés à progresser au niveau A2 en italien avec l'application Babbel. Cependant, j'ai découvert une alternative qui m'a facilité l'apprentissage de la langue : une autre application dont je suis très satisfait.

Je pense que pour les personnes qui rencontrent des difficultés avec Babbel, cette nouvelle application peut apporter un véritable avantage dans l'apprentissage d'une langue étrangère. Personnellement, j'ai constaté une amélioration significative de mes compétences linguistiques depuis que j'utilise cette nouvelle application. Je recommande donc vivement cette alternative à tous ceux qui cherchent une méthode efficace pour apprendre une langue étrangère.

Memrise is good for what it does, which is a flashcard application. I heard great reviews about anki but the learning curve is steep. I was using the free version earlier and upgraded to paid version last black friday and the user experience is way better. I am still working through the french lesson, and compared to other apps, it is not that useful, well, better than nothing. Its real strength is really as flashcard app, where you plug in the cards that you want to study.

Amazing Learning Platform
Used it for 6 years and have learned 3 languages!

Thank you Memrise!

Es macht sehr viel Spaß, mit dieser App Spanisch zu lernen.

Memrise is an excellent tool for memorizing specific words and phrases, unlike any other app, where vocabulary constantly slips out of your mind. It has a superior authenticity compared to other programs, especially Duolingo: Memrise's courses have absolutely zero nonsense content, and most vocabulary is followed by a video of real natives saying it, leading to correct pronunciation. Plus, if you discover a gap in one of its official courses, you can usually find a user-created course that fills in that gap. In addition to courses, Memrise makes language learning even more enjoyable by enabling users to watch further authentic videos (though some require a subscription) and testing writing skills with a robot. So the app is useful, enjoyable and doesn't bombard you with email notifications every day, like "Do a lesson today!!" or something like that. (The ads are also not that annoying, IMOH, which goes against Duolingo (and the fact about email notifications)

The only issues:

1. Video & Listening exercises sometimes malfunction: clicking on the video / speaker button doesn't work

2. The Difficult Words can be quite annoying for non-subscribers only. If you accidentally got a word wrong due to a misclick in Speed review, it's automatically marked as Difficult (sometimes it marks it as difficult when you get it right!), but you have to rummage through hundreds or thousands of words to find the one word, and then keep on doing reviews for that Level in order to reach that word and undo the Difficult words. Just curious, because if Difficult Words are a Pro feature then why give the frustrating "half" to non -Pro users.

3. Leads to the final issue: non-Pro subscribers are given the buttons for Pro features, e.g. Difficult words, Learn with Locals. It can be somewhat irritating to have obstacles to your learning path.

I am in the UK and have received an email from Memrise with the subject Line "Happy 11.11". In the the UK 11th November is our Remembrance Day for those who gave their lives for our today, therefore, a day of solemn reflection. Would you send out "Happy 09.11" emails to customers in the States? I thought not. Talk about tone deaf.

Didn't really manage to learn that much after a year of usage. It's decent to learn entry level language skills, but if you want some advanced skills you have to do something more.

Without any prior notification memrise took $100 out of my PayPal account as part of one of those very sneaky methods this company use to fleece people of their money. Surely there should be some warning that the payment is upcoming and more importantly when signing up for this app it should be clearly stated that this company plans to fleece your bank account every year thereafter. I haven't used the app since the first few months and they know that's the case with many people and prey on customers. Very unethical behaviour memrise

Several times in the past week, Memrise has used slang american terms i do not know and local expressions which my partner ( native speaker with a doctorate in Law from Beijing) cannot understand.
several expressions used were sarcastic and thus could lead to offense. Others were coarse expressions a learner should avoid.

excellent program. i am using a few app. for learning German and memorise is the best by far.

Spanish on Memrise is brilliant. I've also tried Busuu and Duolingo but I like Memrise the best, as I am learning lots. Reviews about payments are nothing to do with the actual learning, so it's 5 stars from me!

Déçue dans un premier temps suite à mon abonnement pour un an, car arrivée à la 7ième leçon gratuite en anglais, je me suis dit cette appli est géniale je vais continuer à perpète avec les leçons 8, 9, 10 etc. Et bien non, une fois inscrit, vous avez des versions originales en plus, des mots difficiles en plus, ... mais plus de leçons d'anglais en plus par exemple. Dommage, mais ça doit être normal vu le prix. C'est vrai que 7 leçons gratuites ! Sinon, j'ai appris beaucoup (3073 mots pour le moment à la 5 ième leçon), ce site est excellent, les cours sont très bien, je verrais après sur l'appli. Depuis quelques mois, il y a un pote IA avec qui faire des exercices de compréhension des mots appris, il corrige, répond aux questions. Ca permet de progresser. That's great !

They are thieves. I cancelled my subscription a year ago to find a year later they stole money from my account. I now have to freeze my account and report their transaction as fraudulent. They do not have a phone number and make it very difficult to get in touch with them.

Memrise has changed their interface several times for the worse, violating the terms of when a person subscribed. For example, they eliminated the Mems (user created graphics to memorize words). This was a basic fundamental feature of their app!

The management has been very incompetent at providing an interface that has features users like. Just the opposite, in fact.

In recent years their main motivation is to monetize their lousy lessons and try to sideline the user created lessons.

Totally disgusting organization.

This was an ok if limited course of French phrases. I was minded to keep the subscription going even though I’ve finished the course but not now.

Why?

Because they’ve decided to use language lessons to push the Covid myth at a time when even the most enthusiastic street-clapper realises the whole thing was a big tech (Google demonetising media sites and Amazon removing them from servers if they don’t follow the narrative) big pharma (how many jabs do you need before you realise this is in no way anyone’s previous definition of a vaccine?) operation in control and profit.

Don’t believe me? Look at the profits big tech/pharma have made. Think you’re not brainwashed? See if you can resist parroting the responses to Covid skeptics that are simply figures given to you by these corporations via health services and Google searches (eg: “Oh but I didn’t end up in hospital or die because of the vaccine.”) Neither did 99.9% of people with Covid before any vaccine and many people turning up at hospital demanding oxygen did so because a device they bought off a pharmaceutical, probably via Amazon, told them they were suffocating.

And now we come to Memrise…

These people are actually dangling a grand in front of you (chance of winning? Infinitesimal!) if you mindlessly repeat in a foreign language all the mantras of the Church Of Covid like “I’m keeping others safe” and “Where’s the hand sanitiser?” and not forgetting the most insidious “Here’s my vaccination certificate” (In other words: “I’m not an unclean leper who needs to be forcibly removed from society.”).

Here’s a useful phrase you taught me.

J’ai arrêté ces cours

A 5 year old could write better translations for their Spanish 1 course. Absolutely embarrassing content, get a grip.

The app itself seems to be great. I like the way IT works.

HOWEVER, their customer support sucks.
I paid for the Valentine's Day deal (buy one, get one to share) on the 11th, four days ago. They were supposed to send a code that I could forward to my partner, so she could upgrade her account. The email never came. It's not in my spam folder, or any other folder.

I sent in a ticket through their online form. I got an auto response to tell me to check my spam/other folders. I did, again. Nothing there. Then I replied back to them, as they instructed me to do in the email. I included my partner's account name and email. Still nothing.

I even attempted to post something on their community forum. But in order to log into it, you have to confirm your email. Nothing came to my email box, in any folder. So now, I'm here, complaining.

I don't really want to cancel my subscription (not even sure that would work), because I like the app itself. There isn't a better option out there for European Portuguese. I see that they have responded here to some people. Maybe they'll actually monitor this forum. I ain't holding my breath. But if they DO RESPOND, DO NOT tell me to check my damned spam folder again.

unhappy customer, Steve Bivans

bonjour. Cette application ne permets pas d'apprendre correctement la langue. Par exemple, elle nous fait apprendre des phrases inintéressantes et même des mots vulgaires (bourrés, ...) Après plus de un mois, je suis déçue. Dommage que je suis abonnée pour un an. Je m'y attelle quand même....
