The videos and tiktok esk side makes it fun to hear my target language and I love how they (for Japanese) focus on kanji and the answer has the furigana.
vianewsonI don’t ever leave reviews. Memrise provides natural speaking habits of your target language and works on listening skills in a way that no other app I’ve found does. I recently started Japanese and I can say that Memrise is great at all languages!

Are Australian Languages difficult to learn for English speakers?
Australian Aboriginal languages are considered among the most challenging languages for English speakers — most sit in the Category III to IV range, with an estimated 1,100 hours or more to reach professional proficiency depending on the language. There are around 250 distinct Aboriginal languages across Australia, varying enormously in grammar and vocabulary, so the experience differs significantly by language. Common features across many include complex noun class systems, rich case systems with up to 10 or more cases, and verb structures that encode spatial and directional information in ways that have no parallel in English. Languages like Warlpiri and Arrernte have extraordinarily free word order — grammatical relationships are carried by suffixes rather than position — which requires a fundamental rethinking of how sentences work. Vocabulary shares no roots with English, and many languages include sounds unfamiliar to English ears. Most Australian Aboriginal languages use a Latin-based orthography, which removes the script hurdle, and active revitalisation efforts across communities have improved the availability of learning resources in recent years. Memrise structures Australian Aboriginal language learning around high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners build a practical foundation in some of the world's oldest living languages progressively rather than being overwhelmed from the start.
How long does it take to learn Australian Languages?
Australian Aboriginal languages have no official US Foreign Service Institute ratings, but most are broadly estimated to require 1,100 hours or more to reach professional proficiency — placing them firmly in the Category III to IV range, with some of the more complex languages like Warlpiri potentially requiring significantly longer. The 250-plus distinct languages vary considerably in difficulty, so the timeline depends heavily on which language is being learned and the availability of resources for that specific language. Complex case systems, free word order, and verb structures encoding spatial and directional information mean the grammar remains challenging well beyond the beginner stage, and vocabulary offers no shortcuts from English throughout. That said, most languages use a Latin-based orthography, removing the script hurdle, and active revitalisation efforts across communities have improved resource availability in recent years. Memrise focuses lessons on high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners build a practical foundation in some of the world's oldest living languages steadily and progressively.
