This is an app very useful and enjoyable for those who are interested in learning about English.

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. The learning tools are strong and varied. Everything is clearly pronounced and notated with both literal and practical English translation.
English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with over 380 million people using it as their first language. Learning English can help you to communicate with people from all over the world, especially if you enjoy popular culture. Many popular songs, movies, and TV shows are produced in English. Knowing English can be extremely helpful in your career. Many businesses use English as their official language, so being able to speak it fluently can give you a significant advantage in the job market.
Why should I learn English with Memrise?

Where do I start when learning English?
Our language experts have created hundreds of practical "scenarios" to choose from at the start of your journey. These scenarios relate to your reasons and interests for learning English, whether it's connecting with your partner's family or simply understanding the lyrics to your favourite songs.
Choose your scenarios and learn relevant English words and phrases that locals will actually use.
Once you've learnt some useful English words, you'll be presented with listening practice. Immerse yourself in videos of English native speakers using the words you've just learnt in a real-world context. This is important, so you can understand conversations confidently.
Next, you'll be presented with speaking practice with your AI language tutor that relates to the scenarios you've chosen. Want to order food at a restaurant in English? Practice all the related topics in private, so you can talk confidently in the real world.
