The unique thing about Memrise is the vast amount of language lessons offered. Not only does Memrise feature a plethora of professionally-made language courses, the app also includes user-made lessons on more obscure languages and subjects, such as Sindarin from The Lord of the Rings, Shakespearean English, and so much more! Memrise uses a gameified flash-card system for language learning and even offers courses on subjects other than languages, such as science and math. This app is great for beginners, especially when it comes to learning a language in a simple, familiar way!
