Has anyone here tried using memrise before? I am going on a year long exchange to
Austria in August, so I am trying to learn as much vocab before I go. I like the way it gives you points for each correct answer and the garden. It makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

in general it has a good system of teaching, but much depends on what lists you'll learn
i always seem to stumble upon word lists in which half of the words are like 'hole in the ice' 'period of winter darkness' etc so finally i gave up 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm an active user and like it. I actually created content for the TL in my native language, too, so above mentioned phenomenon is not occurring to me.

I love memrise. I have writen about it on my log and on several other threads and I keep
recommending it to everyone at least for a try. It is a nice srs, quite addictive, with a lot of content, usually of good quality,(but of course the best is a deck you create yourself). I just miss opportunity to use it offline but I can live without it. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I like it, but my garden is still small. (I'm not very far along.) I stumbled across a blog that recommended the "JLPT N2 Memrise Community Edited Course" over the lists at iknow! for Japanese. I haven't tried iknow! in a few years so I don't know how it is these days, but memrise is free, iknow! is not, and so far I haven't felt the need to go back to iknow!
My list does a lot of the thinking for me (suggested memory aids) and I'm not sure if I like that, but Cavesa's right, it's addicting. It's has a nice format and keeps you moving at a nice pace. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I use memrise and, so far, I've found it to be very helpful. It obviously depends on the
quality of the word lists you study, but (at least for me) the highlighted community courses seem to be very good. It also seems to keep track of which words you're learning and not just which gardens you are watering. So if you learn "WIBBLE" in garden A, it won't (as far as I can see) ask you about "WIBBLE" immediately if you water garden B. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yes I am a poweruser of memrise (i use it alot). It really depends on what language your learning. I would recommend using a language course in conjunction with memrise.
Memrise is very good for vocabulary - however you need to cover these bases as well: Listening Speaking Grammar Memrise may pronounce the words for you however: Not all words are pronounced You are listening to individual words You definatly need to add in some sort of program for listening and grammar. Aside from that memrise is a really great resource. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I like Memrise better than Anki, even though i think Ankis srs is programmed better. I just like the way Memrise presents new material. That and the fact that you really do feel like you are accomplishing a lot when you get a nice garden and lots of points.
Like others have mentioned though, make sure you are studying courses that are relevant. 1 person has voted this message useful |
