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 Toki Pona difficult to learn for English speakers?

Toki Pona is one of the easiest languages in the world to learn — it is a constructed minimalist language created in 2001 by linguist Sonja Lang, built around a vocabulary of just 137 core words. The grammar is extremely simple, with no verb conjugations, no grammatical gender, no cases, and a consistent sentence structure throughout. Most learners can grasp the entire grammatical system within a few days, and reach conversational level within one to three months of regular practice. The main conceptual challenge is philosophical rather than linguistic — Toki Pona expresses complex ideas through combinations of simple words, which requires a shift in how you think rather than what you memorise. Memrise structures Toki Pona learning around the core vocabulary and everyday phrases, making it one of the most approachable and rewarding languages on the platform.

How long does it take to learn Toki Pona?

Toki Pona is by far one of the fastest languages to learn — most learners grasp the entire grammar within a few days and reach conversational level within one to three months, thanks to a core vocabulary of just 137 words and an extremely simple, consistent grammatical system. Unlike Esperanto, which accelerates learning through familiar vocabulary, Toki Pona's speed comes from sheer minimalism — there is simply very little to memorise. The main ongoing challenge is learning to express nuanced ideas through combinations of simple words, which develops naturally with practice. Memrise focuses lessons on the core vocabulary and phrases that unlock the full expressive range of the language, making Toki Pona one of the quickest and most satisfying languages to reach fluency in on the platform.
