Leave a Review Learn 33 Languages with Mondly
My personal opinion
This app is fairly good, a little pricey month to month, but if you’re like me and you really care about investing into language learning then you wait until you see the “lifetime deal” and make that purchase off of impulse. Anyways, the lifetime deals are always worth it, trust me. I personally enjoy this apps way of teaching, it’s fun and it’s not bad at helping me remember stuff. I believe that the review for each sections in regards to vocab should be flash cards instead of swiping up or down to the correct one. Maybe there is that option and I just haven’t seen it, but I like flashcards way more for reviews. Anyways I used to use this app for Japanese andIt wasn’t bad but then I switched over to another platform that is far superior for Japanese than any other app. However, this app is really good for Spanish, I’ve been using it for Spanish and over certainly enjoyed it so far. I realistically want to give it four stars, but not because it’s bad, it’s just different than what I’m used to, but it is one of the best for practicing your speaking, at least compared to something like duo lingo. This app deserves 5/5 for the speaking portions.Show lessJacob Ruelas
Favorite Language App
this is genuinely my favorite language learning app, i love the number of languages available so much. i bought a premium subscription a few years ago and have access to all the languages offered, and i am so so glad i made that purchase. i started using mondly for its korean course, and now i use it for korean, polish, mandarin, french, and german. the hands-free lesson mode is also very useful and enjoyable, albeit a bit frustrating when the bot just Does Not interpret what you say. some of the phrases they teach should be broken down a bit more for pronunciation and comprehension's sake, in my opinion, at least in the "core vocabulary" section. all the new sounds in a new language can be overwhelming to try and pick out and spit back out to the bot when she only says it to you once, so i think offering the "one word at a time" option earlier on with phrases would be very, very cool. i also love the daily lessons so much, the vocab is always useful. solid 9/10, will always recommendShow lesskinikono
Please correct spelling for Vietnamese
Grew up with Vietnamese parents who didn’t teach me to read or write in the language but I speak fairly fluently. So I prefer to write responses to the app instead of speaking them to improve in the areas I need. I can spell the letter combinations of most words without a hitch but the Vietnamese tones can be tricky to decipher. My complaint is that the app will give my response as correct even though I’ve used the incorrect intonation mark. Maybe you could possibly fix it so that the correct answer shows up in addition to my “correct” response. This way, I can spot my mistakes. The reason I know that my “correct” responses are not correct is when I’ve typed in the last letter, I still have to tap the “check” button. When I’ve spelled it absolutely correctly, the answer will ding without me doing anything. Otherwise, Mondly is helping me rediscover my native language. App is so much better than when I first paid for it many many years ago and stopped using it shortly thereafter. They’ve greatly improved the listening and speaking functions. It’s so much more immersive and interactive than before. I know that Mondly is making my life better moving forward. I know I can finally visit Vietnam one day without being ashamed that I can’t read or write in my birth language. Shout out to Ioana at Mondly for helping me out with restoring my purchase.Show lesshangbuoy
Brilliant App 👍
I’ve been using this app on subscription for about a month now, I’m learning Greek and have found the daily lessons a really good incentive to study every day so you can test your knowledge at the end of the week, (You can’t take the test if you miss a day) Good strategy and I like it!
I also like how with each phrase when you click on it, it gives you different ways to say it in different situations, Like ‘I go, I went, I will go’, this helps you spend more time on a particular phrase and it sticks in your memory a little better even if you don’t remember them all some will go it ;)
All in all it’s a brilliantly thought out app and I will be continuing to use it! 10/10 from me 💪 😊Show lessLoijnbg
Like to see more
Im giving this 4.5 stars. I truly enjoy the app, its just and very refreshing to see that their added new things to it every so often. New languages, new ways to learn. I’ve been using this app on and off for quite some time mostly do to work and everything especially given the time that we’re in.
However, the one thing that I would say that is making me give this app a 4.5 out of 5 stars is them taking so long to add new features to the app. Though, I completely understand with software engineering and things like that. Yes, those things take time. I understand. However, there are things that I would like to see be added that I think would change the app around a lot more. That and with the VR side of the app as well too. There really hasn’t been anything added to the VR app. Aside from thoes little flaws. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to brush up on the languages they already know and want to learn any new languages.
Some of the grammar could still be working on, but nonetheless. I think this is a good game.Show lessPuerto Rico Bound
Excellent
I find this to be an excellent app. I love the ability to have conversation thread, record your replies and listen back to the whole conversation. It’s good to hear your pronunciation. Lots of different topic areas, ability to spell, speak, listen. Worth the money. The addition of a grammar section is excellent. Update: Just got to the vocabulary for Ugly (laid), quite disgusted that you use a picture of a woman who you consider to be ‘ugly’ as the image associated with this adjective. The image depicts a woman who could be sight impaired (you know, a disability!) Quite alarming in 21st C you think this acceptable? If you bother to read any of your feedback, please consider changing this image. As a parent with a child with a facial difference, I find this repugnant.Show lessSp0na
Helped so much! But one thing...
Before I downloaded Mondly I thought it would be I’m possible to learn German but when I downloaded Mondly (which has over 33 languages you can learn) I was a pro! I really recommend it! But there is one slight problem, there’s premium and it has such a limit of what you can do. When you don’t have premium you can do daily lessons, weekly quiz, monthly challenge, Hello and chat bot. Apart from that it is great, I love and you will too!🤩🥳🤓🙂🇩🇪Show lessI_saunders
Excellent App!
This is a great app. It has plenty of useful phrases and vocabulary. It is also very challenging to make perfect scores which I enjoy. The only disappointment is the nouns are not taught with the definite article, Die, Der, Das. Whoever believed that the definite article was not essential in this App did you and your users a disservice. In German, learning the definite article with each noun is critical to being able to write and speak correctly. I am an intermediate learner, fortunately I know what indefinite article corresponds to the definite article. However, repetition of seeing the correct definite article with its noun cannot be overstated! I can name a number of apps and programs that also did not have the definite article with the noun and I deleted them or did not use them for that reason. The best thing about the app is the ability to create conversations for speaking practice. That is the most useful. Needless to say, adding the definite article would make this the most comprehensive language app on the market. Btw, the AR app is superb. It is just too easy and without the definite article. Can a user change the level from Beginner to Intermediate or intermediate to advanced after the initial setup has been done? Thank you and look forward to your updates since I did purchase a one year premium!Show lessrippinguanew1
Has the language I need, but could be improved
I’m learning Urdu so I can follow conversations happening at my in-laws. Overall the app is good for this purpose and I am definitely starting to piece things together. I like how you can switch between scripts. However, the lack of explanations around the phrases being presented would definitely cause confusion to someone completely unfamiliar. For example, for family members, Urdu has a dependency for mum’s and dad’s side of the family, marriage, and sibling order. Eg the word for uncle could be Tia Abu, Chacha, Phuppa, Mamu, or Khalu depending on the exact relation, but only Chacha is given as an explanation. TL;DR good practice for someone already familiar with the language, but I would imagine it would be hard for a complete beginner.Show lessastronemma2
No Way to Cancel (updated)
I liked Mondly and used it for a year membership. The problem was when I decided I didn’t want to renew. There is no method of shutting off the auto-renewal or cancelling membership. In the “settings” screen, then down to the “About” screen. Click on “Subscription info”. It says “auto-renewal may be turned off at any time by going to your settings in the iTunes Store after purchase”. Wrong. Mondly does NOT show up in my list of apps at the iTunes Store to cancel. I see “Lose It!”, Netflix, Apple Music, but no “Mondly”. This is showing on my bank statement as 2COCOM and nothing to do with Apple. I googled 2COCOM and it is a separate billing company. And they will not refund or cancel the auto-renewal. It also is not on my iPad settings / subscription list. THERE is NO way to CANCEL. Suggestions anyone?
UPDATE: After putting up this review, I was contacted by Mondly and they did offer my money back - which I accepted. They said I was sent an email a week before the auto renewal - I didn’t see it but it could have went in my junk folder and was missed. They also offered an extra 6 months at no charge if I renewed.Show lessstpa0001
