Time: 20 minutes

Mood: Fun learning

What you need: The Memrise app, an internet connection and willingness to learn a new language!

We're all fascinated with foreign languages and pronunciations, but it's not easy learning it. The Memrise app is too cool for school (quite literally). It has a bunch of languages you can choose from, with fun interactive exercises and games that help you learn faster. They also have regular 2-4 minute tests that check your progress and save words that you have difficulty with, to revise later. Most of their levels and exercises are free (enough for you to get a hang of the basics) and you can upgrade to more interactive video content by becoming a member. Their languages range from English to Mandarin, French, German, Swedish and even the more rare ones like Tibetan, Icelandic, etc. The Memrise App is most handy as you can learn on the go but they also have a website for a full-screen experience. We all have a couple of minutes, sometimes hours to kill in a day. And sometimes we just need a break from the dreariness of assignments, placement preparations, and semester exams. Don't worry, we've got you covered.
