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.

Words that actually stick. Most language apps are built around streaks, pressure, and guilt. Lengio isn't. It's a calm, beautifully designed visual vocabulary app that works with the way your brain actually remembers — through images, not endless text drills. LEARN THE WAY THAT WORKS FOR YOU Lessons Follow a guided path that builds naturally from the ground up, with mini-exercises after every concept to lock in what you've learned. Word Categories Browse thousands of words organised by topic across 25 languages. Words live across multiple categories so you encounter them in context — the way real fluency is actually built. Quizzes & Flashcards Spaced repetition built right in, so you review each word at exactly the moment you'd otherwise forget it. No wasted time, no drilling words you already know cold. AI Speech Partner Hold the mic and have a real, free-form conversation with an AI tutor in your target language. Gentle, contextual pronunciation feedback as you speak — like having a patient language partner available any time. 221,000+ WORDS. 25 LANGUAGES. From Arabic to Ukrainian, from Japanese to Portuguese — Lengio covers 25 languages with over 221,000 words, every one paired with an image to anchor it in visual memory. Because a word tied to a picture is a word you actually keep. MAKE IT YOURS Replace any stock image with a photo from your own camera roll. Your memories, your associations, your language. The more personal the image, the deeper the word sticks. FREE & PLUS Lengio is free to download. Core lessons, word browsing, flashcards, and daily reviews are included at no cost. Lengio Plus is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited daily reviews, the AI Speech Partner, all word categories, custom card images, and full Did You Know card access. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. No streak guilt. No leaderboards. No cartoon mascot judging your progress. Just a language app you'll actually want to open — every single day. Your next language starts right now. Support: https://lengio.app/support Privacy: https://lengio.app/privacy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Lengio at none against Wordy's shown. Lengio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). Wordy's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wordy sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Lengio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
