Memrise isn't specifically language learning site. It is actually a memorization helper site. You pick a topic you want to memorize and memrise will periodically test your memory. Memrise will pick its questions based on your results. Things that you successfully memorize will take a long time to be asked again while the things you forget will come more frequently. This way you are forced to correct your mistake as quickly as possible while not bore you asking thing you already mastered. By asking more about the things you failed to memorize it also prevent the wrong fact to be embedded strongly in your memory.
Learning language always involved a great deal of memorization especially to remember all the foreign vocabulary and this is the general way course in memrise is structured. While it is possible to make a course that focused on grammar, most course are just in the form of question asking "What is the word for [x] in language [y] ?"
The good thing is memrise is totally free and everyone can make their own course that suit their needs.
