    It used to be more well-presented. No fuzz, no spin, just straight down the middle.

    Mondly is good for learning sentences, before going somewhere on vacation. Due to lack of grammar teaching and explanattions it's more like a fun game. Not for serious language learning. And the system is for every language the same. The same lessons, the same sentences. Not recommendable as only source to learn a new language.

    Only available in some area of the world. If you are from an English-speaking country, it won't work for you.
