Review summary

Mondly Norwegian is praised for being fun, engaging, and easy to use, with short, beginner-friendly lessons and strong pronunciation practice. The repetition-based approach helps retention, and many users appreciate quick progression and the ability to review lessons. Major drawbacks are subscription-driven access and a frustrating free tier, limited daily study time, and persistent chat-bot/voice recognition issues, plus occasional bugs and gaps in content such as no full word list or pronunciation guides in the free version.

Pros

Fun, engaging, gamified learning that feels like a game
Easy to use with short, beginner-friendly lessons
Good pronunciation practice and audio quality, with slow-down option
Repetition-based methods that aid retention and enable quick progress
Valuable multi-language support and discounted lifetime access

Cons

Subscription-focused with many features requiring payment; issues with cancellation
Limited free access and daily study time without upgrading
Chatbot/voice recognition issues and microphone problems
Occasional bugs and pronunciation/translation mismatches
No full word list or deep pronunciation guides in the free tier

2020-09-16	He*****	Vamos lá . Comprei este app há uns 5 anos atrás ou mais ,quando não havia a maldita subscrição. Sempre houveram pequenos erros na funcionalidade do app....uma hora te ensinam usar “en” em alguma frase ,mais pra frente quando eu utilizava o “en” ,na mesma frase,como ensinado, dava erro e a palavra correta já não era mais “en” e sim “ei”... Com várias outras palavras acontece a mesma coisa , só não vou listar para não me alongar muito nesta avaliação. Onde diz “chatbot” , que simula uma conversa ,aparece a opção de segurar o botão do microfone para se responder as perguntas , onde diz “aperte e segure” para falar ao invés de escolher uma das opções escritas pré definidas , porém não funciona. E eu já dei a permissão de acesso ao microfone , ou seja , o problema não é na configuração app , configuração esta que revi para me certificar que não havia problemas em relação a isso. Também há problemas em relação a algumas palavras , onde o programa faz a pronúncia de uma palavra ou frase ,mas não é o que está escrito o que leva o aluno ao erro e confusão na hora de entender . Aprendi bastante nestes mais de cinco anos estudando norueguês por aqui e até já consegui conversar , nada muito complexo ,com um nativo mas confesso que ultimamente estes tipos de problemas andam me tirando o interesse de usar o app ,o que pra mim ao menos , é uma pena .

2020-06-25	fl*****	My last name is Helley. My grandparents are from Hel, Norway. I grew up eating lefsa, lutefisk, and krumkaka. (?..) I’m currently I’m at level 12 now in around 2 months. I don’t think I will be fluent in 8 months as the app says. Apparently I know 4.2% of the language. However, I’ve learned a ton! Give it a try. After week two, things start to come together. And after 8 weeks, I’ve really “started” to get the feel for the language. It’s sometimes redundant because the translation of “egg” in norsk is... egg.. but then they throw in a full speed sentence that keeps you on your toes. I really enjoy the app and I feel if I stick with it I’ll truly be able to speak Norwegian. This is a real review. The first one I’ve ever done. But I wanted to say something positive about this system. Look up my last name. I live in Bozeman Montana and I am not a robot making reviews. There’s my two cents. Takk!!
