Mondly VR — AI-Driven Language Learning in Virtual Reality

Mondly VR is an immersive language learning platform designed to help users practice real spoken conversations in virtual environments.

Instead of scripted exercises, learners interact with AI-powered virtual characters that respond dynamically to natural speech, creating realistic, engaging language practice scenarios.

The experience is built for standalone VR and focuses on immersion, responsiveness, and conversational realism.
