Understand native speakers. Sound more like them.

Thousands of short videos of native speakers, so you can learn the language the way they really speak it.

Hear it. Learn it. Copy it.

The Memrise method to help you remember words and phrases

Step 1

Hear it

Meet useful words and phrases through videos of real native speakers. Get used to the voices, accents and natural speech you’ll actually hear outside a lesson.

• La cuenta, por favor (The bill please)
• Otra cerveza (Another beer)
• Eso es (That's it)
• Está delicioso (It's delicious)

Step 2

Learn it

Understand what you’re hearing and practise remembering the language until it starts to stick.

Step 3

Copy it

Listen to how a native speaker says the whole phrase, then repeat it yourself. Not just the individual sounds, but the rhythm, stress and way the words naturally fit together.

Real native speaker videos, less robotic voices

Every word comes with a real person saying it.

• ¡Estupendo! (Great!) Spanish . México
• Au revoir! (Goodbye!) French . France
• Encantada (Nice to meet you) Spanish . Spain
• Parfait! (Perfect!) French . France
• Los ghet's! (Let's go!) German

Approved by the locals

All our words and phrases are approved by native speakers so you can feel confident you'll be saying the right thing.

Sound like the locals

Hear real accents, speed and rhythm, then record yourself and compare so you can sound natural when it's your turn to speak.

Try it yourself

A translation can tell you what something means.

A native speaker can show you how it actually sounds.

Listen, repeat and learn whole pieces of language the way they’re naturally spoken.

Memrise is designed to get you speaking fast and sticking with it. The more you show up, the more fluent you’ll feel.
Is Memrise good for travel, work, or relationships?
