Is learning a new language possible?

In middle school and high school I took a few years of Spanish. At that point in my life, I just took it because I had to. I thought learning a different language was useless, I already spoke English. Now, in Spanish I can count to ten, name about half the colors, and say a few other words. Looking back I wish I would have paid my Spanish classes more attention. It would be very helpful to be able to speak another language. There are many times, that I wish I could speak another language. I never thought I would actually start learning another language, until I came across Memrise.

Memrise is a free app that can be used on any mobile device or computer. This app lets you pick from many categories, teaches lessons, and then quizzes you. The categories range from languages, to science, to math. Each category has different levels. You can start at the beginning and work your way up, or start at a higher level if you would like. At the end of the quizzes, the app gives you a report. The report includes your score and time, and can help track your progress over time. Memrise also allows you to interact with other members and create groups with friends.

Memrise can be used to touch up basic skills, or to learn an entirely new topic. This is useful for students who are behind or new extra time studying. This can also be helpful to foreign students, learning a new language and culture. This app can also be used as trivia in the classroom, or even at home for fun. Overall, if you plan on memorizing any new material, Memrise is an app that is very helpful.
