Learn Japanese – Mondly for Negative User Reviews

✓ Motley MondlyI have been using the app to study Japanese for quite some time and just started to also use it for Korean. It really is pretty much useless because it errs on the side of super polite which is no way to actually learn a language. Gonna give up on it as of now.....KyogamanVersion: 7.1.13

✓ It's NOT teaching correct Japanese!I ran into two errors in my first two lessons. They said "haha" meant "mother". Haha means grandmother, and okaasan means mother. They also said "Good afternoon" meant "Konnichiwa". This one may have been an accidental error, but it will confuse people who are just learning. Konbanwa means good afternoon, if you were wondering. This app has potential, just fix the errors and make sure you are teaching correct Japanese. I'll re-download it once it is fixed!.Apple buttsVersion: 3.0.5

✓ No Hiragana!?I’ve been studying Japanese for a few years now. The fact that there’s no hiragana put me off..PoinvvVersion: 7.1.13

✓ Do not purchase, this app will steal your moneyThis app starts out okay, it works semi well if you look past several of the features which don’t make any sense. For example it will ask you to select which word means mother, but all of the options have pictures of different family members, one which depicts a woman holding a baby. This makes it immediately apparent which is the right answer and hinders any real learning. The deeper problem however is that you can access very little without buying. If you do decide to purchase the ONE month option, for $9.49, you will NOT be notified that the app is continuing to auto-renew this purchase every month, EVEN IF YOU HAVE DELETED THE APP. This is such an easy way for them to make money as most people do not notice until several months in, and they will not refund you. Don’t fall for it!.AuntieminaVersion: 6.2.1

✓ DisappointingYou can barely do anything without buying the in store purchases. Most are $6.50 or you can unlock all for $18. Have just downloaded the app then realised there are all the extra expenses so will be deleting it. Not recommended :(.Wild-child25Version: 2.2.1

✓ Some errorsFirst off I have studied Japanese for several years already. I am looking for something to become more fluent tho. This is a nice fluid app, it flows really well and the audio is (mostly) pretty good sounding. I really wish you could "write" with your finger to answer questions rather than typing, it'd be great! I started off in intermediate level and it was still pretty basic. The problem is I saw some errors in the Japanese. You are teaching the words for "sister" and "brother" but it's misleading. "imouto" means "younger sister" and "otouto" means "younger brother". You should specify that and teach the words for older brother/sister (お姉さん、お兄さん)。 They are used a lot. Tho, the person who reviewed saying "haha" 母 doesn't mean mother is wrong. Tho "okaa-San" is most common to say. "Obaa-San" is grandmother. "Konnichiwa" does means hello/good afternoon and "konbanwa" is good evening..Rinne 84atVersion: 3.0.5

✓ Would like kana mode as wellI haven't used this app much as I'm trying to get through at least hiragana before starting on conversational Japanese. I wish that this app would use kana characters as well not only just romaji and kanji so I would get to practice my hiragana while learning conversional Japanese..ParrotLightadd4Version: 7.1.13

✓ Terrible Japanese inclusion, terrible!Maybe this app works ok for same type alphabets but for Japanese, it's terrible. • it's all in romaji - this does not help learn Japanese • the romaji does not conform to the Japanese government standard • Japanese doesn't use spaces, yet this app forces you to use them • space usage is inconsistent and I've missed questions simply because I didn't put a space or I did • never never should a question be marked wrong for punctuation unless it's extremely important and with the way they do it with Japanese, it's definitely not important • the audio samples are often clipped too much on one side or another, losing part of it. such sloppy work • a few audio samples were flat out the wrong thing. Four has two core pronunciations, yon, and shi, and shi is rarely used by itself. Yet the sample said yon and the answer was shi In general, they just slapped Japanese in there with no real sense of continuity, ease of use, accuracy, and quality. Their Q&A department for this language should be fired. Look elsewhere if you really want to learn Japanese..DuckDon'tTakeNoCr@pVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Extremely difficult startI picked the lowest starting level and the first few lessons are so advanced. I don’t know how they think this is how to start learning. Lesson three they wanted me to spell a sentence in Japanese already. Really? Wasted my money. Wish I could get refund a day into it. The few free lessons are easy but the first paid ones much too advanced. The App respond to me telling me there are three levels. I am on beginner level already thank you and it is so advanced I can’t get past the first few lessons. Try another app for English learning Japanese. Unusable. Rip off. So many mistakes my Japanese wife points out..Alaskan salty dogVersion: 7.1.13

✓ TOOK MY MONEY1 week free trial that you can't cancel. There is no way to cancel subscription from the app nor the site. There isn't even "settings" in the app. Forcing you do go online. And now that I've been feed, I can't be helped..DanniraepoopVersion: 5.0.3

✓ I hate this appThis app is a waste of time and money. I have finished the first section and it will not let me continue to the next section and they say that they cannot do anything about it. They also would not let me delete my account..Bluejay2oVersion: 5.6.2

✓ Overall GoodI tried this app hoping to help supplement my Japanese learning. Just looking at it, the format is clean cut, modern, and very beautiful. The cheesy stock photos were also very entertaining. Unfortunately, the app seemed to jump right in to conversation, not really explaining sentence structure and didn't have opportunities to learn kana, kanji, Kun or On Yomi, and did not explain grammar from the get go. If you are trying to learn Japanese quickly, a few phrases and simple sentences to help you navigate Japan, this app will work for you. However, if you are looking for explanations and grammar and a more complete and in- depth approach to learning a language, I suggest trying something else. I do applaud the layout of this app, and respect the audio cues, but this app will not work for everyone. I would gladly suggest downloading it and giving it a chance..Pleased By the AppVersion: 2.2.1
