Mondly- A kid friendly app for any Language Learner

The article I read this week was a review of the language app Mondly by Darla Sutrich. Sutrich pointed out that with technology giving access to so many things, our children’s lives are going to inevitably be interconnected globally. Therefore, the more languages a child can learn, the easier it’ll be for them to connect with other nationalities.(2017)

Mondly has become popular among this younger generation because of the high quality audio, games, sounds, and attention grabbing visual effects. One thing that really sets Mondly apart from other language apps is the integration of vocabulary conjuring to help the learner not only learn the language but also the use of grammar within the language.

The app has a daily reminder alarm so users take advantage of the daily lessons. It also has adjusted difficulty level to ensure that users are not becoming too overwhelmed or bored with the content. Lessons are categorized into various subjects and based around daily activities so learners are able to incorporate the language they learn while using the app in their everyday lives. Mondly uniquely presents lesson in a way that best reflects the users learning style. Through interactive conversations, word games, sentence building, and listening activities, users can play games to choose to learn in 33 different languages.

I personally feel this app would be beneficial to any language learner. The graphics look engaging and the use of everyday language helps learners incorporate new learned language into their daily activities. While to subscription is steep at $9.99 a month $49.99 per year, too much for an educator to subscribe to for each student,  I think the benefits of the program would outweighs the cost if you were purchasing for your own child to use at home.
