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!

Is Cornish difficult to learn for English speakers?
Cornish is considered moderately to quite challenging for English speakers, broadly comparable to Welsh and Breton in difficulty. It is a Celtic language of the Brythonic branch, sharing the same verb-initial sentence structure and initial consonant mutation system as Welsh — where the beginning of a word changes depending on grammatical context — a feature with no parallel in English. Vocabulary has virtually no overlap with modern English, though some loanwords exist in both directions from centuries of contact. A unique added complexity is that Cornish went extinct as a native language in the late 18th century and has been revived from historical texts, meaning there is some variation between the different revived spelling systems in use today. Memrise structures Cornish learning around high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners build a practical foundation in one of Britain's most remarkable linguistic revivals progressively.
How long does it take to learn Cornish?
Cornish has no official US Foreign Service Institute rating, but is broadly estimated to require 900 to 1,100 hours to reach conversational proficiency — comparable to Welsh and Irish. The verb-initial grammar, consonant mutations, and lack of shared vocabulary with English all slow early progress, and the variation between revived spelling systems adds a layer of complexity not present in most languages. That said, the learner community is close-knit and supportive, and the grammar follows consistent Celtic patterns once the core structures are familiar. Memrise focuses lessons on high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners build a practical foundation in one of Britain's most remarkable linguistic revivals steadily and progressively.
