Customer reviews

"Adaptive and personalized learning have been buzzwords in language technologies in the last few years, but very few products in the market have been designed from the ground up to adapt and personalize language learning in the way Ponddy does. Ponddy scaffolds language learning in unique ways and makes it easy for instructors to create custom curricula in order to better meet the needs of their language learners."

Director of the Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center

Dr. Julio C Rodriguez

"Almost immediately, Ponddy Chinese helped me differentiate my teaching to reach all my students from beginning to advanced levels, while giving them the opportunity to personalize their learning in and out of the classroom. Ponddy is a flexible teaching assistant and I continue to find ways to use it to strengthen my teaching and help my students."

"Ponddy really saves me a lot of time. I no longer have to pre-record lessons or search for authentic content as Pondlets come with native audio and in-context definitions. The students learn on their own time and at their own pace. They have fun doing the gamified exercises. They come to class prepared, saving time for more meaningful group activities instead of vocabulary drilling."
