Learn Thai with 'Mems' that Create Vivid, Sensory Memories
Memrise Thai is a fun, community-oriented (i.e. 'social') and - gasp! - scientific way to learn Thai online.
The idea behind the interface is a merging of science, technology, methodology and community that helps increase your ability to effectively memorize and retain new information.
Oh, and it's totally free! At least for the time being. Hopefully this will still be true when you read this article. They do offer a $10/month upgrade which gives you more in-depth reporting and customization of your learning experience (see more on this below).
What are 'mems' and why use them?
About Memrise.com
Science for Learning Thai
Our recipe for effortless Thai learning has 3 simple ingredients:
The first is science. We're obsessed with using brain science to help you learn Thai faster. We use mems to help you form vivid, sensory memories. We test you continuously, always making sure to give your brain just the right workout. We remind you of what you've learned at scientifically optimized times so your memories are always growing stronger, and never forgotten.
Have Fun Learning Thai
The second is fun. We want to make Thai learning your favourite playtime activity. That's how it should be: we learn best when we're relaxed, curious and confident, and, after all, the world is a very interesting place.
So we've turned learning the Thai language into a game where you grow a colourful garden of memory. You grow and water your memories in a garden of memory, you zoom up the leaderboards, and you learn alongside your mempals. It's like a guiltless video-game.
Thai Learning Community
The third is community. We believe Thai learning should be rich and varied. So with our community we're building a kind of multimedia wonderland of Thai learning, where videos, audio, usage, mnemonics, etymologies and much more bring your learning to life.
We believe that every learner is partly a teacher, and we hope that once you get started, you'll soon be supplying little nuggets of wit and wisdom to help the rest of the community as they learn Thai!
