Loading Memrise: speak a new language 2023.10.30.0 3

I really enjoy this app! I feel motivated, and I am learning with an app without dropping or just giving up for the first time! It's incredibly engaging! I definitely recommend this app! (I'm a native Spanish speaker, a certified English Teacher, and a Medical Interpreter.) My question is: Can I (or could you please add this feature?) change the app's interface language from English to Spanish? It would make my learning experience even smoother! Thank you!

The introduction to Japanese was amazingly clear and organized, they removed a lot of user created lessons though which I think was due to the lack of organization in them. Other than that, the price is a little steep if you don't catch a special offer, but if the lessons went even further and more in depth than a brushing of the surface that I've experienced, it might be considerable. If you're looking for a full immersion, you might as well pay full price for a legit course instead of an app.

I've had a subscription for two years now, but haven't been using the app much. I finally decided to jump back in and the new theme was a huge shock. Very loud colors on all white, in stark contrast to the old, relaxing space theme. Even the animations are more jarring, much less smooth than before. I want to say that I could get past this, but, going through the lessons is no longer enjoyable, so I may have to go back to Duolingo. An option to choose themes (or revert versiona) would be great!

I liked the app itself and am a subscriber. That said, the redesign is really bad. It might be fashionable, but it distracts from the learning process, it makes it hard to read the text, and it makes precious seconds in timed tasks get lost in trying to visually parse design elements. It is not good when your UI undermines the very reason your application is there. If I just tried MemRise out for the first time, I would not have stuck with it.

While the learning function is excellent, I'm changing my review from 5 to 2 stars because the new design is absolutley terrible. It's a huge step backwards from its previous charming spaceship theme that made the journey of learning languages feel so fun. The new design looks like a boring app that tried to be cool with the kids. If the intention was to be more "grown-up", it has failed spectacularly. At least make it so that the users have the option of switching back to the "classic" design.
