Memrise: Sprich neue Sprachen
Vocabulary training with real native-speaker videos
About Memrise
Memrise trains vocabulary via spaced repetition using thousands of video clips of real native speakers instead of synthetic voices – for Spanish, this includes a dedicated Mexico course alongside standard Spanish. Short 5–10 minute sessions and an AI chatbot called "MemBot" for text conversation round out the offering, which suits travel survival phrases well.
The app suits anyone looking for quick vocabulary wins and authentic listening comprehension, while consciously doing without a standalone grammar course. Anyone who wants to learn sentence structure and grammar is better off with Babbel or Duolingo.
Rating in detail
A strong vocabulary and listening-comprehension trainer with its own Mexico course, but with no grammar and reduced course scope since community courses were dropped.
Affordable on the web annual plan, but clearly overpriced at App Store monthly rates (€21.99) – pricing varies a lot depending on how you book.
Modern and engaging, with short sessions that fit well into travel downtime between activities.
A UK provider with mandatory accounts, ad-free but with persistent Pro upsells; support runs through a Zendesk help center.
