About this app

Speak Japanese faster than you ever imagined with Mondly’s proprietary ILA-method. How? The secret is to make it simple. Have you ever heard a song in the radio which had you bopping your head and wanting to sing along?

The first step of learning Japanese is pretty similar. You listen to the sound of native Japanese speakers and repeat some of their words.

Mondly’s state-of-the-art speech recognition shows you how well you already speak and where you can improve. It’s fun and doesn’t even feel like learning. Especially because Mondly by Pearson uses your mother language so you never get lost in translation.

The second step is even easier. Take a break. Your lesson is never more than 9 minutes long and here is why: Your brain needs a rest to store the new information. And while you’re busy with your life, Japanese words and sentences get anchored in your long-term memory.

The result: You find yourself effortlessly knowing what to say and when. Don’t worry about the exact timing. Mondly by Pearson gives you control over the entire process. You receive friendly reminders exactly when your brain is set for the next dose of knowledge.

The third step is all about you. Because now you’re ready to create your own phrases and adding your individual touch and personality back into the conversation. And when you want to practice, Mondly’s interactive chat-bot becomes your pocket tutor.

There are over 40 practical, real-life situations which take you to the restaurant, shopping, exploring the city and many more.
But that’s not the only reason why Mondly by Pearson gives you the confidence to speak Japanese. Because the HandsFree mode lets you practice without looking at the screen. Just connect your headphones and you’re in Paris, chatting away with the locals.

Need a quick boost of motivation? Check your progress with the advanced statistics and intelligent reporting. It shows you how far you have come in your journey to master the 5,000 words and phrases Mondly by Pearson offers you.

We all learn in different ways so here are some of the other highlights Mondly by Pearson offers:
• Well-structured grammar drills which integrate seamlessly into the content of the lessons
• Verb conjugations to show you the underlining structure and further boost your confidence
• Reading and writing games to complete your skills and give you full independence

So what does the ILA-Method stand for? It’s Immersive Language Acquisition and it means with Mondly by Pearson you pick up Japanese in the most natural way possible. But don’t trust the over 100 million users who have given the app a 4.7/5.0 rating.

Here’s what the press had to say:

» “The new and sexier way to learn languages” - Huffington Post
» “Closest thing to actual immersion” - TNW
» “A practical approach to language learning likely to be widely adopted.” - Forbes
» “The new way to learn languages” - Inc.com

Join the revolution and speak Japanese now! There’s a new free lesson every day and no ads.

well, I think the development of this app could be worse, but also way better. I go from simple imagery matching to conjugated sentences without an introduction of any kind. the idea of trial and error is definitely visible here, but error over and over again does not help learning a language when you first start. I have experience learning languages as I have learned Chinese and Spanish. I self taught myself Chinese, and had a teacher for Spanish and neither was trial and error so constant.

Interesting app. I don't like the lesson structure. It seems to jump all over the place. There are a few simple lessons for beginners, then when you go to do speaking lessons, they teach things that were never discussed or taught. I wish there was a more gradual progression with the language for true beginners. Also, it doesn't go over katakana, hiragana, or Kanji but expects you to translate the sentences. Or, you can switch to romanji but that is never recommended by Japanese.

I think it's very well done. I wanted something for my phone & user friendly, Mondly is. Very effective in training your ear. Review is blended well with new material. I also like that you can bounce around and dive in to so many different areas. However, lessons can be overwhelming, grammar & structure not explained, demanding rote memorization. Early requests to translate full sentense, in writing, English=Japanese. Seriously?? Repetition & daily use is key. Star ratings vs other users is BS.
