Memrise is a language learning tool that can be played on smart devices and online platforms. It is used to teach different languages, not only English. The use of flashcards to support the vocabulary and the recording of a native speaker involves complete help for the learner to acquire new vocabulary.
Learners can record their voices to check their pronunciation and compare it with native speakers' pronunciation. It is available for Android and AppStore for free.

Of these applications, like Memrise, or like Duolingo, what I do not like is that other correct answers are not accepted - most of the time, there is more than just one or two ways of saying something :( Anyway, i liked your post! great
ResponderEliminarPretty informative, such a complete post. I've never used this app but sound good to incorporate new vocabulary and it looks fun. I will definitively download it. I think is similar to Duolingo but just in terms of gamification because have a different focus on the learning skills. Excellent post!
