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 Zulu difficult to learn for English speakers?
Zulu 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 belongs to the Bantu language family and uses a noun class system — similar to grammatical gender but with up to 15 classes — where the class of a noun determines the form of every related verb, adjective, and pronoun in a sentence. Zulu is also an agglutinative language, meaning complex meanings are built by stacking prefixes and suffixes onto root words. That said, Zulu uses a Latin-based alphabet, and its most distinctive feature — click consonants — while unfamiliar, are consistent and learnable with practice. Memrise structures Zulu learning around high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners build practical familiarity with the noun class system progressively rather than being overwhelmed from the start.
How long does it take to learn Zulu?
Zulu sits in the Category III to IV range, with an estimated 1,100 hours or more to reach professional proficiency. The noun class system — with up to 15 classes governing the form of every related word in a sentence — takes sustained effort to internalise, and the agglutinative grammar means learners are constantly building new forms rather than memorising fixed vocabulary. Click consonants add an early phonetic challenge, though they follow consistent patterns with practice. That said, Zulu uses a Latin-based alphabet and its grammar, while complex, follows regular rules throughout. Memrise focuses lessons on high-frequency vocabulary and everyday phrases, helping learners build practical familiarity with the noun class system progressively and make steady progress through one of Southern Africa's most widely spoken languages.
