Not at all. You can jump in as a total beginner, or pick up where other apps left off. Memrise adapts to you.
Will I really start speaking in the first week?
Yes. You’ll learn useful phrases fast, hear them from native speakers, and practice with AI until it clicks. That first real-world conversation? Closer than you think.
How much does it cost?
You can start learning for free. Our paid plan unlocks extra features, but building confidence doesn’t have to cost a thing. You can see a breakdown of what our plans cover here.
How long does it take to get fluent?
Memrise is designed to get you speaking fast and sticking with it. The more you show up, the more fluent you’ll feel.

Yes to all three. Whether you’re ordering ramen in Tokyo or chatting with your partner’s family, Memrise helps you connect, not just translate.
