Memrise’s website has the slogan, “We make learning languages and vocab so full of joy and life, you’ll laugh out loud” — certainly a different claim compared to other learning software! The basic Russian course contains 16 lesson covering the Russian Cyrillic alphabet, verbs, and theme-based vocabulary. The app introduces a new letter, word, or expression accompanied by an image (some of which are quite funny), and then a native speaker pronounces it. The learner then has to recognize and select the new term from a group of possible answers. Another task involves spelling out a translation into Russian. The course also has a gaming element with points being earned depending on your performance.
The Memrise app exceeded my expectations, so I can recommend it as a secondary learning aid. It is great to use when you have some spare time, like while on a commute, as you will certainly learn something in the target language. I found it fun to use and it definitely helped me learn some new things in Russian.
