TL;DR
FluentU turns authentic videos into lessons with interactive subtitles, a contextual dictionary, and vocabulary quizzes. It's an immersive way to learn from real media.

Description

Description

FluentU uses authentic video content—such as music videos, commercials, and news clips—as its foundation for language lessons. The platform features interactive subtitles that allow users to click on any word for a definition, example sentences, and pronunciation. New vocabulary can be saved as flashcards, which are then reinforced through personalized quizzes. While it offers a method for learning vocabulary in context and improving listening skills, it does not provide explicit grammar instruction or speaking practice.

Mondly focuses on teaching practical vocabulary through daily lessons and interactive exercises. Its primary selling points are its innovative technology features, including a conversation chatbot and an augmented reality (AR) mode that brings virtual objects into your learning space. While these features offer a novel way to practice, the core pedagogy lacks depth. Grammar isn't explicitly taught, and the content can feel repetitive and may not be sufficient for progressing to higher proficiency levels.
