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 Finnish difficult to learn for English speakers?
Finnish is one of the harder languages for English speakers — the US Foreign Service Institute classifies it as a Category IV language, requiring roughly 1,100 hours to reach professional proficiency. It shares almost no vocabulary with English, and its grammar is structurally unfamiliar: nouns take up to 15 case endings and vowel harmony governs how words are built. That said, pronunciation is highly consistent — words are spelled exactly as they sound — and the grammar follows regular rules with few exceptions. Memrise structures Finnish learning around high-frequency vocabulary and real-life phrases, building familiarity with the patterns gradually so the grammar becomes intuitive rather than overwhelming.
How long does it take to learn Finnish?
Finnish is one of the most time-intensive languages for English speakers — the US Foreign Service Institute estimates around 1,100 hours to reach professional proficiency, placing it in the same bracket as Arabic and Japanese. The lack of shared vocabulary with English and a complex case system mean progress feels slower in the early stages than with European languages. The upside is that Finnish grammar is highly regular, so once the core patterns click, learners can apply them consistently. Memrise focuses lessons on the high-frequency words and phrases that build practical fluency fastest, helping learners make steady, measurable progress even with a challenging language.
