Download the language learning pill today and enjoy the benefits of learning a new language for life. ▶ The secret path to language learning Remember the Italian language classes in school? You started with hundreds of basic words and expressions, continued with tons of Italian grammar lessons and at the end of a full semester’s language course you could barely translate a sentence or say “Hello!” to a foreigner. That’s the traditional way to learn a language. Mondly has a different approach, that’s opposite to the average language course. Here are the key features that make Mondly a great tutor for you: • Crystal-clear audio and professional voice actors. Learn the right Italian pronunciation from conversations between native speakers. • State-of-the-art Speech Recognition. Mondly knows exactly how to listen to your Italian words and phrases. You will only get a positive feedback if you speak Italian clearly and correctly. This will improve your pronunciation. • Useful phrases for real situations. Memorizing hundreds of isolated words is not the way to go when it comes to learning Italian. Mondly teaches you Italian vocabulary by offering you core words and phrases. The app breaks the learning process down into short lessons and puts them into themed packs. • Verb conjugations. If you want to learn more during this course, just tap the Italian verbs and get the full conjugation on the screen, including the translation. It’s faster and better than a dictionary. • The Leaderboard. See how your friends are doing and compete with people from all over the world to become the best learner in the Mondly community family.
