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 Tibetan difficult to learn for English speakers?
Tibetan is considered quite challenging for English speakers, broadly sitting in the Category III to IV range with an estimated 1,100 to 2,000 hours to reach professional proficiency depending on the dialect. It uses the Tibetan script, a distinctive alphabet derived from an ancient Indian writing system, which takes several weeks to master — and crucially, written Tibetan and spoken Tibetan diverge significantly, meaning learners effectively need to bridge two forms of the language. Grammar is structurally unfamiliar, with verb-final sentence order, an honorific register system, and evidentiality markers that indicate the source of information within the verb. Vocabulary shares no roots with English. Memrise structures Tibetan learning around high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners tackle the script and spoken language progressively rather than being overwhelmed from the start.
How long does it take to learn Tibetan?
Tibetan has no official US Foreign Service Institute rating, but is broadly estimated to require 1,500 to 2,000 hours to reach professional proficiency — among the more demanding languages for English speakers. The Tibetan script takes several weeks to master, and the significant divergence between written and spoken Tibetan means learners must invest in both forms simultaneously. The honorific register system and verb-final grammar add further complexity well beyond the beginner stage. That said, the script is phonetically consistent within its own logic, and the grammar follows regular patterns once the core structures are familiar. Memrise focuses lessons on high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners build a practical foundation in Tibetan progressively and make steady progress through one of Asia's most distinctive languages.
