Not Duolingo, but has advantages
HardRockGuru
Mondly is an app that basically attempts to mesh the gamified language approach of Duolingo with the conversational emphasis of Rosetta Stone. Since I am an avid Duolingo fan and have completed 5 language trees, my curiosity was piqued with Mondly. What does this app do differently from Duolingo that justifies charging money? So I tried it out to supplement my Persian studies in grad school and to refresh my Japanese, and... I honestly wasn't all that impressed. One of the best things about Duolingo is that the courses are built from the ground up by native/fluent speakers who understand how to learn the language. Mondly seems to take a more phrase book approach, translating stock phrases into the target language for users to translate again. This leads to situations like learning the word "Kare" for he/she as one of the first Japanese words. In my two years of formal Japanese study, I was never taught this word, because no one uses it. Another example is the frequent use of "to" for "you" in the Persian course. Persian learners: NEVER use "to" with anyone you don't know really well, as it is considered particularly rude. Always make sure to use "shoma". The other problem with the phrase book approach is that it teaches memorization rather than cognition. Duolingo is great at introducing the building blocks of grammar for new learners. Mondly leaves this subject until the last screen, and the app suffers for it in my view. That said, the addition of daily lessons is a good idea that I think Duolingo could take some cues from (although it would be an extra burden on the volunteer creators), and if you're a hipster like me who can't stick to the Romance languages like everyone else, Mondly has many options that Duolingo doesn't have. But bottom line: I would say that if Duolingo has the language you're trying to learn, use that instead.

After learning a great deal of German from duolingo, I decided to learn Chinese as well since I was moving there. To my suprise, duolingo didn't have a course for Chinese. So I had to look elsewhere and found mondly. I was very naive at first but decided to try it out. I loved it instantly because not only did feel like playing a game, I loved all the different features they let you sample such conversation: you can record your entire conversation there, playback your voice, and amazing practice with conversation. Definitely get this app as well as buy the one language option . This is awesome for any linguist enthusiast, or just some regular person who wants to just learn a new language. This app makes it fun and easy to do!
So Amazing!!!
Greatest Deals Ever
I've only been using this app for a few weeks but I really like it so far!! I've always wanted to go to Paris, France so I wanted to learn French before I go!! I've kept a notebook to write all the new words I learn down so I can remember!! Download this app if you want to learn one of their 32 languages!!!???
Great App

I have been checking out the Norwegian language and it has been very good. Only thing I'm not sure of is if you can go to another language or repeat a lesson within a language. Guess I will eventually figure it out.
