Learn Dutch. Speak Dutch
With Mondly you can learn Dutch sentences and expressions FREE with daily Dutch language lessons online. This app is the effective way for beginners to study verbs, pronunciation and how to speak like a native with daily practice.
The secret path to language learningRemember the Dutch language classes in school? You started with hundreds of basic words and expressions, continued with tons of Dutch grammar lessons and at the end of a full semester’s language course you could barely translate a sentence or say “Hello!” to a local. Does it sound familiar? That’s the traditional way to learn a language. But it’s not the fastest and not the most efficient way.Mondly has a different approach, that’s opposite to the average language course.
This is how the future of language courses looks likeThe 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 are able to reconstruct that conversation with your own voice. It’s an effective way to learn Dutch 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 the right Dutch pronunciation from conversations between native speakers.
- State-of-the-art Speech Recognition. Mondly knows exactly how to listen to your Dutch words and phrases. You will only get a positive feedback if you speak Dutch clearly and correctly. This will improve your pronunciation.
- Useful phrases for real situations. Memorizing hundreds of words is not the way to go when it comes to learning Dutch. Mondly teaches you Dutch vocabulary by offering you core words and phrases. The app breaks the learning process down into bite-size chunks and puts them into themed packs of lessons.
- Learn conversational Dutch. Unless you plan on reading science books, conversation is the main reason to take this free course. It will help you build a core Dutch vocabulary with widely-used nouns and verbs and speak Dutch clearly.
- Verb conjugations. Conversations are fun, but the foundation of a foreign language is grammar. If you want to learn more during this course, just tap the Dutch verbs and get the full conjugation on the screen, including the translation. It’s faster and better than a dictionary.
- Statistics that make sense. The App uses intelligent reporting, so you can always follow your progress. Build your vocabulary step by step and become better daily.
- The Leaderboard. We made learning easy and fun, so why not throw in some more game elements, such as score? See how your friends are doing and compete with people from all over the world to become the best learner in the Mondly family. Take the Weekly Quiz to become even better.
- Adaptive Learning. We wanted to craft Mondly in such a way that it will suit every learner’s needs, even complete beginners. Along the way we noticed that learning Dutch is different from person to person. So we taught the app to learn from your way of learning. After little time spent together, Mondly will understand what suits you best and it will become your own guide and customized teacher.
Before you know it, at the end of these Dutch lessons, you will master the most useful 5000 words and phrases and you will be on the fast lane to learning a new language. Kids will love it as well.

I paid for it and I don't satisfied well. * Plus You can click the verb and see past and future forms for different subjects ( I, he, she, it, we, they...) It repeats the words after finishing lesson and you can quickly see what examples in each lessons. * Minus It suddenly shows higher grammar examples. It groups the conversation for some topics(restaurants, airport, hotel etc) , not for easy to hard.
I like how interactive and user-friendly this app is. My only issue is using the record feature... When I press and hold the microphone button to speak, the app simply ends and throws me back into my phone's main screen. If I open the app again, it doesn't save my progress from where I last left off. Instead, I have to complete that particular lesson from the beginning again and then skip all speech exercises. Otherwise, it's very well thought out.
I think it's a good app. Note that I mainly use the web interface but the experience with the Android app is very similar. The language learning is media-rich, colourful, and highly interactive. You learn and are tested through listening or reading and then swiping, typing, or selecting. But there are some speaking exercises too. I use the Advanced difficulty, as I've found anything less is not a test at all. Doing each phrase/exercise THREE TIMES can get to be a bind; sometimes it feels like the units will never end if you are typing long sentences. Switching a lot between keyboard and mouse inputs can get tedious. You should get more points for units which take longer to do or have more complex tasks. A lesser issue is that the translations often use the simple present where in many cases the present continuous would be a better solution. I would also like to see a way to bookmark or save key words and expressions for later. This is a nice app and pleasant to work with. I don't think you're going to become a fluent conversationalist with this method, but it's useful for absorbing some basic vocab and phrases and more useful in this respect than silly Duolingo. It also starts to get your eyes and ears attuned to the language. I hope the content gets more challenging later. If so, I will give it 5 stars.
i used the free version for a while but wasn't progressing very quickly. i decided to just pay for a year subscription because i will be moving to the Netherlands next summer and am hoping this app will be a great supplement to learning Dutch. The paid version is obviously MUCH more efficient and i really do recommend it to others. i see complaints about there not being enough in the free version, but it costs money and time to keep an app like this running effectively so i don't mind paying.
I have tried a number of language apps. The key positives of this one - less mindless repetition and more real sentences. By far the best feature is the conversations at the end of each chapter. These are an invaluable tool that helps place the phrases in a real narrative & meaningful context. You can record yourself over one or both parts. Update - finished the content in 6months. Categories got repetitive fast and needed more depth to maintain a useful learning experience.
I switched to Mondly after feeling I wasn't making good progress on Duolingo or Babbel. I like that Mondly gives more realistic phrases than Dou. It is not so gamified but is still enjoyable and interesting. The design is very nice and you are able to explore specific topics a you like regardless of your level. Sometimes, you have grammar thrown in without explanation, but you can it that slowly over time. There's a lot of reinforcement material, and you can repeat or advance as you like.
It jumps right to more complicated words higher than the level of absolute beginner, doesn't help especially for the people who have no previous knowledge in germanic languages. You need to have baid subscription to unlock many lessons which is annoying, because it's going to force me to buy it, while I don't have the money for it, so it's annoying to keep showing me the paid subscription options every time I finish I free lesson or try to check one of the locked lessons. It's better not to keep showing me the locked lessens and remind me of the paid subscription options.
I am trying the free version because I wanted to see how good the content was. I am really loving it, it's fun and easy, has some space for repetition, some for conversation and some for grammar. I haven't been using it for long so I am not sure how the experience will be the further I go, but so far super good.
I wanted to give this app a try and in the app pooped up a 7 day free trial. I activated it and subscription, but, nothing changed. The subscription is activated but I still can not use premium. It ask me to activate another subscription. Trial has been activated in a few hours. And I gave it try. For learning words the Pp is ok, but not the best. I thought it will help with the grammar but there is no explanation. 3 stars is max for the app. I hope it will be improved.
Am I missing something with his app? It seems like pure trial and error with the lessons. Often you have to put multiple unknown words into a full sentence, but there is no explanation of grammar or sentence structure. I cannot understand how the average score is so high!
So far, so good. I haven't encountered the issue with the app crashing as I'd read on others reviews so the glitch must be fixed. Two days in and I really like it. Visually and audibly, it's great and I would recommend. I'm doing the free trial currently. UPDATED REVIEW: having been a paid user for about 3 months now, I don't feel this app is worth £10p/m sadly. Lags, mishears and across several languages, it gives the same words out. Use it daily but its boring now :(
Mainly of episodes are paid, but it improve my.
Honestly. One of the best learning apps I've found so far! It uses practical learning methods like allowing you to actually speak it and spell words, as well as have conversations with a good mix of vocabulary. It feels very natural, and not robotic and repetitive like most apps! 5 stars
Very little free content. You have to pay for almost everything. They should have an option to watch ads instead of outright paying for everything.
Awesome. Begins with very basic words and sentences which are easy to learn. The successful learning of easy words and phrases gives motivation to learn complex ones. Very good app for learning language. Definitely buying premium.
You can hardly do anything without paying a ridiculous monthly fee. All there is to non paying customers are 8 lessons on the various ways to say hello, 1 of the 8 chatbot lessons, then the daily weekly and monthly lessons which you can't go back to do if you accidently miss one. All this is like 1% of all the available lessons in the app. They need much more flexibility for free customers. I'll give it 2 stars for having otherwise good functionality.
Great way to learn anytime You want. I found some lessons are too difficult for me (too big steps from single words to whole sentences 🤷♂️ at least i cant manage that. Chat bot rather useless then helpfull, again it might be only for me 🤷♂️ small issues, but surely app is worth subscription and learning 👍🤩🥰
kinda effective, but frustrating. The microphone pick up is horrid, it took my 7 or 8 times of it picking up stuff nothing like what im trying to say before i just typed it. really annoying when im saying the right thing.
Unfortunately it's not for me. The key thing for me to learn language is to have general vocabulary list where I can look for a word and easy add new words if necessary. This app is missing both.
I love this app. I only rely on free lessons because I don't have yet enough time to study. But soon maybe I will try premium. One thing that makes me sad if I've missed one daily lesson, I cannot take that lesson anymore and it will affect the weekly and monthly quiz. I cannot take the weekly and monthly quiz too. 😥
Guys please stop making those promotions look like they're a big deal. I got messages and notifications saying it's -50% or even -90% and it's always the same deal. Is that even legal? Also, you should make these prices based on a country's incomes. I get it that nothing is free but this is really annoying and I might just uninstall the app and find something else. I really hope you care about feedback and will do something about it.
At first the app works fine, but it started glitching quite a lot. The short daily lessons and the very first lesson is free to use. To do literally any other lessons the app offers you have to pay the monthly subscription.
App has awesome practical examples of Dutch conversations. A very good addition to an array of apps to learn Dutch. The conversations available is thorough and very practical and with me going through every conversation each morning was very helpful.
The first bit was free but I completed that within 5 minutes the only other thing that seems to be free is the daily challenge. Which isn't enough to call this a free app to me. Other then that it does provide real life sentences etc
As far as I can see, this app is not for learnig for free. Almost all the content in blocked so you need to be/paid premium. But the aesthetics are nice and the voice very clean.
the app is great but you basically barely get anything if you don't pay for premium i've had it for two weeks or so and i don't feel like i can get anything else and probably just gonna delete it (the daily lessons are sometimes kind of too hard for my level)
Great app. Simple, good pace, nice interface, you learn quickly and the lessons are nice and short so you can fit them in whenever with a few spare minutes.
The app is good overall, but I don't recommend trusting it too much. Uses outdated words and phrases that native people rarely say. The pronunciation is also a bit outdated. And the speech recognition doesn't work. Other than that is a good app and can give you the basics. (Premium user here)
