TL;DR
A highly powerful but complex flashcard system designed for serious learners who want to optimize long-term memory.
Mondly offers daily lessons and conversation practice with an AI chatbot, and stands out with its use of AR and VR technology. Its grammar instruction is limited.

Description

Description

SuperMemo is the original software based on the spaced repetition system (SRS) algorithm, designed for maximum efficiency in long-term memorization. It is not a pre-made course but a powerful tool that allows you to create your own flashcards and learning materials. It is renowned for the effectiveness of its algorithm but also notorious for its steep learning curve and dated user interface. This tool is best for highly dedicated, self-directed learners who want ultimate control over their study material.

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.
