Learn languages from real movie clips with quizzes

Wordy started as a personal tool because I kept pausing movies to look up words and forgetting them minutes later. Now it's a full language learning app built around real movie clips.
Pick a language, watch short native scenes, quiz yourself on the vocabulary, and review with spaced repetition flashcards. No cartoon exercises, just real content from movies and TV you'd actually want to watch.
20+ languages. iOS, Android, and Chrome extension.
This is the 2nd launch from Wordy. View more

Launched this week
Ever wished you could learn a language just by watching your favorite shows? With Wordy, you can.
Watch short clips from real movies and TV series, then test what you picked up with built-in quizzes. Every word you encounter is tracked automatically, so your vocabulary grows with every clip you watch.

Same here.
I started watching The Sopranos in English and I’m pausing every few minutes. The slang, Italian expressions, the cultural references… it’s not textbook English 😅
Using real movie scenes to learn just makes more sense. That’s the actual pain point.
Wordy
@rmilyushkevich Haha The Sopranos is honestly next level even for native speakers 😂 But yeah that's the exact frustration that started all of this. Glad it clicks!

Wishing you good luck with this idea. Anything educational has my support :)

@busmark_w_nika Thanks, Nika! :))
What is the difference between first launch and this launch?
Wordy
@wei_yan4 Great question! A lot has changed since the first launch.
Back then, Wordy was mainly a subtitle streaming tool, you'd connect it to Netflix or other platforms and get real-time translations while watching. It was useful, but pretty niche.
Since then, I've completely rebuilt the app around short movie and TV clips with a structured learning path, similar to how Duolingo works but with real video content instead of cartoons. Now there's a full learning journey, from beginner to advanced with quizzes, spaced repetition, and vocabulary tracking built in. So it's no longer just a tool for advanced learners who already watch foreign content; it helps complete beginners get started too. Basically it went from "subtitle overlay for streamers" → "full language learning platform powered by real movie clips." :))
Interesting twist for a language learning app, congrats on the idea and the product!
What are the next features/aspects you want to focus on after this launch?
Wordy
@andreitudor14 Right now the biggest focus is content, adding more clips and covering more levels, especially for beginners. I'm also working on a streak system and better progress tracking so people can see how far they've come. And the Chrome extension needs some love too, want to make it work more smoothly with streaming sites. Lots to do honestly 😅
that's actually a very nice idea. it makes learning languages very easy and entertaining. this motivates to keep on learning the new language.
Wordy
@phirabu Thanks Philipp! That's exactly the thinking behind it, if learning feels like entertainment, you actually stick with it. Glad it resonates!
Wordy
@linapisom Appreciate that! Yeah exactly, kids learn their first language just from hearing it around them. Wordy tries to bring that same idea to a second language, learn from real speech, not textbook sentences.
