Which memrise course is considered to be the best?

2

None. A mixture of many does it.

I’ve seen Karen Barker’s courses be complimented:

I highly recommend our official Memrise-created Spanish courses. (Memrise has community-created as well as official courses)
The community-created courses are created by fellow learners. They’re very varied in terms of quality, size and content.
Our official Memrise-created courses are carefully crafted by our in-house team of professional linguists and translators, complete with audio recorded by native speakers and even fun video’s!

Here they are, arranged in order of ease:

Spanish 1: http://www.memrise.com/course/1098043/
Spanish 2: http://www.memrise.com/course/1098044/
Spanish 3: http://www.memrise.com/course/1098045/
Spanish 4: http://www.memrise.com/course/1098046/
Spanish 5: http://www.memrise.com/course/1098047/
Spanish 6: http://www.memrise.com/course/1098048/
Spanish 7: http://www.memrise.com/course/1098049/

Courses 1 to 3 roughly equate A1 level (beginners).
A2 level (intermediate) equates to courses 4 and 5.
Courses 6 and 7 are at B1 level (upper intermediate/advanced)

Ok which mixture of which many courses. Its kind of bizarre to jump on lien that one set of courses is not the best, then turn around and say well none of them are the best, they are all good.

The best beginners course is probably:

Or, at a slightly lower level:

I might be biased as I’m a non-professional contributor to both courses. :slight_smile: - but despite that, they’re both pretty much error-free and should suit beginners well.

Just based on a cursory overview, I like these ones for beginners (no particular order): Memrise official courses, Basic Spanish (Spain), Karen’s Basics, or one of the Duolingo vocab courses like Spanish Duolingo. I like they don’t seem too long or short and they introduce useful phrases quickly. I also like that the Spanish 101 course has multimedia levels to explain some grammar points, but the multimedia won’t load for me.

Hopefully one of these or ian_mn’s will fit with your personality and purposes. Good luck with your Spanish! :slight_smile:

The question is not answerable without knowing your goals and time frame.

I suggest starting here: http://www.memrise.com/course/392/level-1-survival-spanish/ and here: http://www.memrise.com/course/667/beginners-spanish/ to get a quick start, and then moving into the official courses that Lien suggested.

As you progress, I’d suggest adding a vocabulary course, a verb course, themed vocabulary courses…
