▶ The secret path to language learning
Remember the language classes in school? You started with hundreds of basic words and expressions, continued with grammar lessons and at the end of a full semester’s language course you could barely translate a sentence or say “Hello!” to a foreigner. That’s the traditional way to learn a language. Mondly’s approach is different from the average language course.

▶ The future of language courses
The 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 will reconstruct the conversation with your voice. It’s an effective way to learn phrases. State-of-the-art Natural Speech Recognition and Spaced Repetition Algorithms make the app effective for learning languages.

Here are the key features that make Mondly a great tutor for you:
• Crystal-clear audio and professional voice actors. Learn pronunciation from conversations between native speakers.
• State-of-the-art Speech Recognition. Mondly knows how to listen to your words and phrases. You will only get a positive feedback if you speak 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 languages. Mondly teaches you vocabulary through core words and phrases. The app breaks the learning process down into short lessons and puts them into themed packs.
• Learn from conversations. Conversation is the main reason to take this free course. It will help you build a core vocabulary with widely-used nouns and verbs.
• Verb conjugations. Learn more from this course. Tap the verbs and get the full conjugation, including the translation. It’s faster and better than a dictionary.
• Advanced Statistics. The App uses intelligent reporting, so you can always follow your progress. Build your vocabulary step by step and become better.
• The Leaderboard. See how your friends are doing and compete with people from all over the world to become the best learner. Take the Weekly Quiz to become even better.

All these make Mondly the best way to learn Spanish, American English, British English, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Romanian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Hindi, Hebrew, Polish, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Czech, Croatian, Finnish, Persian (Farsi), Afrikaans and Turkish for FREE.

At the end of these language lessons, you will master the most useful 5000 words and phrases and you will be on the fast lane to learning a new language.

How does ChineseSkill make Chinese learning so easy?

– It’s task-driven.
Content is organized into various skills which are practical and keep learning motivation active.
– It’s effective.
Every item can be mastered in a short time. And you are able to track your progress and review characters, words and sentences on the go.
– It’s helpful.
You are able to record your Chinese pronunciation and compare it with standard pronunciation.

Chinese handwriting, characters and pronunciation are made simple in ChineseSkill. All you need to do is tap and move.

What are you going to learn?
– 50+ Chinese skills

ChineseSkill method works! But don’t take our word for it, here are some of our reviews:

“I really enjoy this app! I pay a lot for a Mandarin's beginners class and in three days with this app I learned more. ”

“A great resource for students to practice their reading, writing and listening. I am a Mandarin Chinese teacher teaching beginning level of grade 4,5 and 6 in Connecticut, USA. This app has great potential as teaching/reviewing tool for Chinese language learners.”

“I use a suite of tools: Nulinuli, Mindsnacks, Brainscape, Pleco, Rosetta Stone. I was very excited to find ChineseSkills. It's definitely become my favorite. It makes a big effort to teach a range of elements. Characters, tones, syntax, grammar. And most importantly it has a review feature which is crucial and often missing in language learning. Definitely give ChineseSkills a go.”

“I am an avid user of Duolingo. I felt both intrigued and bad for trying Chinese Skills because I thought I was supporting an imitation. Feelings now is that this app definitely imitates duolingo's app but in return offers us a Duolingo like progression of vocabulary and grammar for Mandrin. There will be plenty of demand for such a course and at least such a resource now exists. Thank you.”

“This is one of the best Chinese learning apps out there!It teaches you both important vocabulary and grammar. It is a must have! Plus, other apps are expensive and still cannot compare to the quality of this app.”

BONUS – Introducing: accessories! When you've finished cutting and color, add eight different accessories to your look. Loads of extra fun!
