To consolidate our knowledge regarding a new language, it is essential to have intuitive, dynamic and innovative tools that allow us to memorize specific vocabulary, optimize our oral and written level of the language; in short, those apps should offer the possibility of learning while playing. A tool that meets these requirements is Mondly, a mobile application based on virtual reality, neuroscience and gamification. Mondly promotes the learning of 41 languages through instructive micro-pills in the form of activities that fosters the enrichment of vocabulary, grammar work and the improvement of the levels of reading, writing, pronunciation and listening comprehension skills.

By downloading the application (available for IPhone, IPad and Android devices), we will have the possibility to access some free lessons and, if we wish, we can unlock all the games and levels by opting for a paid monthly or annual subscription.

Apart from allowing young people and adults training in languages with activities based on everyday situations, Mondly also has a version created for children (Mondly Kids). The children version (4-8 years old) offers a playful and interactive environment mediated by the use of recurring themes such as colors, nature, food, among others.

In 2017, Mondly was nominated by Facebook as „the application of the year“ due to its many benefits and potential. In fact, it offers a very encouraging panorama for educators, students and all those who are in the process of learning languages.
