This is how the future of language courses looks like


Our Japanese language learning app gets you started with a basic conversation between two people. You quickly start memorizing core words, use them to build sentences and phrases, and at the end of a 45-minutes module you are able to reconstruct that conversation with your own voice. It’s an effective way to learn Japanese phrases. State-of-the-art Natural Speech Recognition and Spaced Repetition Algorithms make our Japanese learning app effective for learning languages.

Here are the key features that make Mondly by Pearson a great tutor for you:


✓ Crystal-clear audio and professional voice actors.
» Learn the right Japanese pronunciation from conversations between native speakers.

✓ State-of-the-art Speech Recognition.
» Mondly by Pearson knows exactly how to listen to your Japanese words and phrases. You will only get a positive feedback if you speak Japanese 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 Japanese . Mondly by Pearson teaches you Japanese vocabulary by offering you core words and phrases. Our Japanese language learning apps break the learning process down into short lessons and puts them into themed packs.

✓ Learn conversational Japanese .
» Conversation is the main reason to take this free course. It will help you build a core Japanese vocabulary with widely-used nouns and verbs, and speak Japanese clearly.

✓ Verb conjugations.
» If you want to learn Japanese grammar during this course, just tap the Japanese verbs and get the full conjugation on the screen, including the translation. It’s faster and better than a dictionary.

✓ Advanced Statistics.
» Our Japanese learning apps use intelligent reporting, so you can always follow your progress. Build your vocabulary step by step and become better daily.

✓ 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. Take the Weekly Quiz to become even better.

✓ Adaptive Learning.
» Learning Japanese is different from person to person. So we taught the app to learn from your way of learning. After little time spent together, Mondly will understand what suits you best and it will become your own guide and customized teacher.

★ Before you know it, at the end of these Japanese lessons, you will master the most useful 5000 words and phrases and you will be on the fast lane to learning a new language.

I'm a veteran of language learning apps for Japanese, because I need to learn and don't live anywhere I could go for more formal classes. The truth is, none of them is perfect. Mondly is good for teaching you everyday vocabulary and grammar, and is mostly easy to use and fun. It falls down occasionally on the chatbot, and I've located occasional errors, but the fact I can identify the errors suggests I'm making progress, so... Better than DuoLingo, and probably on a par with Busuu.

Ok so the apps good but during the speaking exercise or "Hands free" (I think that's the name they use) you can't turn off romaji so it's kinda annoying. So if possible in the next update could you make it so you can turn romaji off in the hands free exercise? as you can turn it off with other exercises. Or at least have a option to enable furigana in the speaking exercises. Also a lot of the stuff seems to be locked behind a pay wall.

I went Premium, but it isn't really worth it. There is no sensible progression through the lesson topics. You are expected to pick up Kanji after seeing it once, or not at all in some cases. It presents an entire sentence with Kanji that you've not been exposed to and expects you to reconstruct the sentence. Same with vocab. It isn't taught entirely. It's sporadic. Furthermore, the voice recognition is rough at times. Save your money. I won't renew.

Hi, Thanks for the review. Our approach follows the most natural and effective language-learning process: you learn new words in isolation followed by the words being placed in certain contexts. As for the voice recognition issue, please contact us at android@mondly.com and let us know what exactly is happening, we'll help right away. Best, Mondly
