Question 1

What is Mondly's Main App?

Accepted Answer

The Mondly app is the flagship product of the Mondly platform. If you have had any previous interaction with Mondly, it is highly likely that it was through this app. With over 100 million learners and a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 1,000,000 customer reviews, Mondly is an exhaustive language learning course that is specifically tailored towards achieving conversational fluency.

The app offers courses in over 40 languages, including popular languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and Arabic, as well as less commonly studied languages such as Afrikaans, Bengali or Latin. Users can choose from a variety of lesson formats, including conversation-focused lessons, vocabulary builders, and grammar tutorials, and track their progress using the app's built-in learning analytics tools. Mondly's main app is designed for learners of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced speakers looking to improve their fluency and expand their vocabulary.

Available on both iOS, Android, and the web, the Mondly app is designed as a highly gamified experience that promotes natural learning. By swiping up and down, arranging letters into words and words into sentences, selecting the right answer, using your voice to repeat the correct pronunciation of certain words, and earning points for every completed lesson, Mondly makes language learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Question 2

What are the learning levels on Mondly App?

Accepted Answer

Mondly teaches languages on almost all levels – ranging from beginner to upper-intermediate (A1 to B2). By changing the level of difficulty, you’ll be asked to complete more difficult tasks.

For example, if you had some contact with the target language before, you will go from A1 to B2 faster.

Question 3

How will you learn in the main app?

Accepted Answer

Mondly uses text, pictures, and audio to help you memorize core words, form sentences, and develop and improve your reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills. The main purpose of the app is to help you learn the most frequently used words and phrases so that you can handle interactions with native speakers and other common situations in a foreign country.

Mondly also offers free Daily Lessons, Weekly Quizzes, and Monthly Challenges on interesting topics to help you learn new things every day and test your knowledge constantly.

Question 4

What is the Learning Method for the main app?

Accepted Answer

Mondly is based on the inductive method: learn by doing, context and example, and extrapolate to rules. In other words, start thinking in the language that you’d like to learn rather than construct a phrase in your native language, apply the rules, and only then translate it accordingly.

Unlike deductive learning, where learners are given a set of rules they will need to apply, inductive learning is a discovery process where students discover rules by themselves by looking at examples.
Think about those endless pages of rules you had to memorize in high school. That was no easy task. But once in a while, there was a teacher that enjoyed the job and took the time to explain all the thinking behind them properly. Only then would the rules stick.
Learning rules mechanically is usually next to impossible. But when you understand the process, collect bits of information, and draw conclusions yourself, everything becomes easier. And that’s exactly the teaching technique Mondly uses.
You basically teach yourself. The experts behind Mondly know how amazing the human brain is. This is why they carefully selected the content so that you’ll practice and the brain will make the connections. You’ll not focus on the process but on the final result: speaking the new language like a native.

What’s more, the main Mondly app also uses a unique spaced repetition system that improves your ability to memorize new words.

Question 5

What technologies do we use in the main app?

Accepted Answer

Chatbot with speech recognition

Conversations are essential for learning a new language, as they enable you to practice your skills in real situations. While memorizing verb forms and conjugations is helpful, it may not be enough to make you conversational. This is where Mondly's chatbot with speech recognition comes into play.

By using this feature, you can engage in realistic conversations where the app listens to your speech, understands your input, and responds accordingly.

The chatbot also provides feedback on your pronunciation, helping you improve your speaking abilities and build confidence for real-life interactions. Making the most of this feature will help you never struggle for the right words ever again in real interactions.

Hands-Free

We know how hard it can be to fit learning into your jam-packed schedule or routine. This is why Mondly made it possible for you to learn Spanish, French and more completely hands-free while also carrying out other activities. Whether you are working out, doing chores around the house or simply relaxing at the end of the day, Hands-Free allows you to simultaneously learn a new language.

Easily recognizable by its purple microphone symbol, Hands-Free makes the entire content of Mondly – including Daily Lessons – available in interactive audio format. For this reason, if you don’t feel like it, you don’t even need to keep your eyes glued to the screen. Your new learning assistant will always keep the conversation going with instant feedback and constant encouragement.

The Hands-Free feature is dynamic. This means that it will go over certain words and phrases again if you get them wrong. Hands-Free knows exactly how much practice you need and won’t stop until you’re perfect.

Question 7

What are the main app sections?

Accepted Answer

The five sections of the Mondly main app are placed at the bottom of the screen as follows: categories, lessons, statistics, leaderboard, and shop. Let's see how each of them works and how to make the most of them in your learning journey.

Categories

The “Categories” section is the section where you can find all the learning categories in Mondly. As you can see, the entire learning experience in Mondly is based on a map. The more categories you master, the further you’ll travel on the map. Just follow the dotted line and make sure you complete all the lessons in every new category. To explore all the 33 categories in the app, swipe left. When you decide which category you want to study, simply tap on it.

Lessons

The “Lessons” section is where you’ll see an overview of each lesson, including how much time you’ve spent on it, what’s the completion percentage, how many stars you’ve earned, or how many lessons are left in the category. Additionally, if you want to learn something about a specific subject, you can use the “search” feature in this section to search for your favorite topics.

Statistics

The “Statistics” section is where you’ll go whenever you want to see how much you’ve learned. Here you can see how many words and phrases you’ve mastered, how much time you’ve spent learning and what is the number of consecutive days in which you’ve accessed the app. The more colored the brain diagram, the bigger your learning progress.

Furthermore, if you tap on the colored nodes on the brain diagram, you’ll be able to quickly recap all the words and phrases you’ve learned along the way. The color code relates to the type of lesson: the purple nodes represent vocabulary lessons; the blue ones represent the categories, the green ones are the daily lessons, and the red ones are the conversation lessons. Streak represents the number of days in a row that the user completed a lesson and how it resets if you miss one.

Once you find a word or phrase you’d like to review, tap again to see its translation and hear the correct pronunciation. “Statistics” is also the section where you can see what’s your level and how many points you earned.

Leaderboard

The “Leaderboard” section is where you can see your rank in the national and international tops, add your friends and compete with each other. Additionally, there are also filters you can select in order to view monthly or yearly tops and even sort the tops depending on the number of days in a row or the number of points earned.

Mondly Shop

If you didn’t invest in a Mondly Premium subscription yet and want to get one now, you can go to the shop section. Here, you can choose the best Premium plan for you and purchase it with just a few simple steps.

If you purchase Premium through the Mondly mobile app, you should know that Google or Apple will be the payment processor and not Mondly. It depends on the device you’re completing your order. Your bank statement can show the following:

Google Play – Android with Mondly apps downloaded from Play Store;
Apple – iOS with Mondly apps downloaded from App Store;
2Checkout – if you purchased Premium through the Mondly website.
