Learning a new language is not easy. It requires repeated practice, development of the four key skillsets (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), and a long-term commitment.
Given that most people cannot pack themselves off to a foreign country for a year to immerse themselves in their target language (something that language experts agree is still the best way to learn any new dialect), the next best thing is finding an app that allows you to learn from home.
Many language apps are on the market, each of which is vying for your attention. However, over the last few years, Memrise has risen to become one of the popular options out there.
Today, MakeUseOf can offer its readers a 28 percent discount on a lifetime Memrise membership—that's a price of just $99.99. Keep reading to learn more.

Memrise uses real-life situations to help reinforce the language in your long-term memory. There's a smart-learning AI that will recognize which vocabulary you repeated struggle to recall, and you get access to naturally-voiced audio and video clips so you can learn from real locals.
Of course, there is also plenty of testing as you move up through the levels to make sure you're on track.
Memrise also has your back if you're the type of person who struggles to focus on a long-term goal. It has plenty of gamification features (which you don't have to use), including leaderboards and points scoring.
