Overview of Memrise:

For this week’s blog post, I will be utilizing Memrise. This free-to-use software application is a digital tool for those striving to learn languages. Memrise provides its users with various features that consist of: instructional videos, scenarios, as well as conversations. These features are quite beneficial because they revolve more so around applied learning. For more information regarding Memrise, please do kindly take a look at the PCMag reference link provided below. 

Learning:

Immediately when I logged into Memrise, I started navigating through its various features. The first learning mode I clicked on was titled “scenarios.” Within this channel of learning, there were numerous recommended paths for learning Spanish such as: basic greetings, days of the week, and more. When I delved into the basic greetings category, I learned how to initiate a conversation by asking how an individual’s day is going, and so and so forth. Afterwards, I participated in the education category in which I learnt how to pronounce school and exams in Spanish. Finally, I engaged in the food category. Here, I gained the opportunity to understand restaurant basics, how to order a menu item, as well as how to ask a waiter/waitress for the menu. Overall, these categories are essential, because as mentioned in a previous blog post, understanding these concepts will truly benefit me with regards to basic skills if I ever strived to enroll in a study abroad trip to Spain or Mexico.
