What our Russian learners think

Taken from App Store and Google Play

I honestly wasn’t expecting this app to be really good! I’m currently learning Russian and just because of this app I gained more information.

I’ve tried and continue to use several different language apps, and while of course you can’t learn a language from using just one app, I am so pumped to have found Memrise to add to my toolkit! The videos and actors are entertaining and engaging. Also thumbs up for inclusivity! (at least in the Russian language course).

I just got this app and paid for it and I'm learning Russian. It is fun and good and easy to learn with the lessons.

I have used or evaluated at least 20 language apps and I’ve done three complete courses on Duolingo (Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, plus some Spanish top-up). Memrise is FAR superior to any of them
