Learn a new language the way people actually speak it. Every word in Wordy arrives inside a real film or series scene — said by an actor, at full speed. Not a studio recording of someone reading slowly, and not a synthetic voice. Now with two complete courses: English and Spanish. HOW IT WORKS You follow one clear path, a lesson at a time. Each lesson gives you a handful of new words, then drops them straight into a scene from a real movie or show, so you hear the word doing its job before you ever have to produce it. Then you use it. Build the phrase from blocks, spell the word out, pick the meaning, hold a short conversation, and say the line out loud while the app listens and marks every word as you speak. INSIDE EVERY LESSON • Real film and series clips for each new word • Speaking practice with live, word-by-word feedback • Dialogues where you choose your side of the conversation • Phrase and word building, from single letters to full sentences • Review lessons that bring earlier words back right before you'd forget them • A section exam to prove it stuck WHY SCENES BEAT SENTENCES Real speech is fast, it slurs, it skips words, and it leans on expressions no course ever lists. That is exactly why textbook audio feels easy and real conversation feels impossible. Wordy closes that gap from your very first lesson: you are listening to the real thing from day one, in doses short enough to actually follow. BEYOND THE COURSE • A library of thousands of clips to explore on your own • Tap any word in any subtitle for an instant translation • Save words and practise them on a spaced schedule, so they stay • Vocabulary sorted by level, A1 through C2 • A daily streak that keeps the habit alive LANGUAGES Full courses in English and Spanish. Clips and vocabulary practice in 20+ more, including French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Greek and Ukrainian. The app itself speaks 26 languages, so you learn through the one you already know. Whether you are starting from nothing or unsticking an intermediate plateau, a few minutes a day is enough to feel the difference.

Verdict

The call

Wordy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wordy has 2.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
