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.

I 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!

Is Basque difficult to learn for English speakers?

Basque is considered one of the most challenging languages for English speakers — it is a language isolate, meaning it has no known relatives anywhere in the world, and shares no vocabulary or grammatical structure with English or any other European language. Its grammar is highly complex, with a system of suffixes that mark not just the subject but also the direct and indirect objects within the verb, and nouns take different forms depending on their role in the sentence. That said, Basque uses a Latin-based alphabet, pronunciation is phonetically consistent, and the language has no grammatical gender. Memrise structures Basque learning around high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners build a practical foundation in one of the world's most unique languages progressively rather than being overwhelmed from the start.

How long does it take to learn Basque?

Basque has no official US Foreign Service Institute rating, but is broadly estimated to require 1,500 hours or more to reach professional proficiency — making it one of the most time-intensive languages for English speakers. As a complete language isolate with no shared vocabulary or grammatical roots, learners are building entirely from scratch with no transferable knowledge from other languages to fall back on. That said, the Latin-based alphabet and consistent pronunciation remove the script hurdle, and the grammar, while complex, follows regular rules once the underlying logic is grasped. Memrise focuses lessons on high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners make steady progress through one of the world's most distinctive and ancient languages.
