Language Islands gets you speaking — with the method language pros use: collect the sentences that matter to you and group them into small, themed islands. This isn't another textbook drilling you on fruit, colors, and "the apple is red." You bring the words from your real life — moving abroad, your partner's family, a trip, a new job, a language exam — and the translation and native-quality pronunciation appear in seconds. Listen. Repeat. Actively recall. That's how a language sticks where it counts: in real conversation. Learn to speak Spanish, French, Italian, German, Turkish, Portuguese, Dutch and more — from English, at your own pace. Build your own phrasebook, hear every sentence spoken by a natural voice, and practice out loud in short daily sessions. Made for real reasons to speak: • Moving to or living in another country • Understanding your partner's or in-laws' language • Getting ready for a trip • A new job, client, or work meetings • A speaking exam or school trip • Reviving a language you learned years ago No vocab drills. No endless word lists. Just your sentences, your islands, your pace. Start talking.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Memorila holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Memorila has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Memorila's written reviews are positive against 100% of Language Islands's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Memorila ships an update weekly, Language Islands every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
