Mondly is an EdTech company that develops a freemium language learning platform which includes a website and apps with free and paid courses for 33 languages.[1][2][3] The company also offers lessons in virtual and augmented reality.[4][5][6][7]

History

Mondly is based in Brașov, Romania and was founded at the end of 2013 by Alexandru Iliescu and Tudor Iliescu, graduates of Transilvania University of Brașov.[8][9]

The company launched the first app in May 2014 on iTunes and on Google Play in June 2015. A year later, in August 2016, launched the first chatbot with speech recognition on both iTunes and Google Play.[10][11]

In February 2017, Mondly launched MondlyVR, the first virtual reality language app with speech recognition.[12][13] By September, the app was available on both Oculus Store and Google Play.[14]

In May 2017, the company launched MondlyKids, an iOS and Android language app for children aged 5 to 12[15] and then, in March 2018, launched MondlyAR, the first augmented reality language app with speech recognition.[16]

Language courses

As of 2017, Mondly made available courses for 33 languages using localized content in 33 native languages.[17][18] The available levels of language proficiency are beginner, intermediate and advanced.[19]

Products

Mondly Languages is a language learning app that integrates chatbot and speech recognition technologies to help users learn any of the 33 languages it offers.[20][21]

Mondly Kids is a language learning app for toddlers and kids.[22][23]

MondlyVR is a language learning app in virtual reality for Daydream, Cardboard VR and Samsung Gear VR compatible devices.[24][25]

MondlyAR features an avatar “teacher” who brings virtual objects – planets, animals, musical instruments, etc. – into the room as teaching tools, engages the user in conversations and gives instant feedback on pronunciation using the chatbot technology.[26][27][28]

Recognition and awards

In January 2016, Mondly Languages was named “Best New App” by Apple[29] and a year later it received the FbStart[30] “App of the Year[31]” award for Europe, Middle East & Africa offered by Facebook.[32] As of late December, Mondly Languages and MondlyKids have both been chosen as “Editors’ Choice” in Google Play.
