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 Dzongkha difficult to learn for English speakers?
Dzongkha is considered quite challenging for English speakers, broadly sitting in the Category III to IV range with an estimated 1,100 hours or more to reach professional proficiency. It is a Sino-Tibetan language and the national language of Bhutan, closely related to Tibetan, and uses the Tibetan script — a distinctive alphabet that takes several weeks to master and, as with Tibetan, diverges significantly between written and spoken forms. Grammar is verb-final, with a system of honorific registers that change vocabulary depending on the social status of the person being addressed, and evidentiality markers that indicate the source of information within the verb. Vocabulary shares no roots with English. That said, speakers with prior exposure to Tibetan will find meaningful overlap in both script and grammar, significantly reducing the learning curve. Memrise structures Dzongkha learning around high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners tackle the script and honorific system progressively rather than being overwhelmed from the start.
How long does it take to learn Dzongkha?
Dzongkha sits in the Category III to IV range, with an estimated 1,100 hours or more to reach professional proficiency — comparable to Tibetan, its closest relative, though somewhat more accessible due to a slightly simpler grammatical structure. The Tibetan script adds an early investment, and the divergence between written and spoken forms means learners must invest in both simultaneously to achieve true fluency. The honorific register system and evidentiality markers mean the grammar remains demanding well beyond the beginner stage, and vocabulary offers no shortcuts from English. That said, speakers with prior Tibetan experience will find significant overlap in both script and grammar, and the grammar follows consistent rules throughout. Memrise focuses lessons on high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners tackle the script and core patterns progressively and build practical fluency steadily in one of the Himalayas' most distinctive languages.
