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

Launching today
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.

Okay this is my kind of language app 😄 learning from real movie scenes just hits different. The combo of native clips + quizzes + spaced repetition makes it way stickier than random textbook sentences. If the clip selection is actually good, this could quietly beat a lot of traditional language apps.

@bartosz__strickland thanks :) that's exactly the feeling we're going for: real scenes just stick in your head differently than made-up examples

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

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." :))

@basma_el_khamlichi Thank you, Basma! Really appreciate the support 🙏 If you ever give it a try, let me know how it goes!
This looks like a fun way to learn a new language, especially with real movie clips. Do you think the quizzes are engaging enough to hold attention?
Wordy
@austinelvis Thanks, Austin! Yes, absolutely: the quizzes are designed to keep you engaged right after watching a clip, so the context is fresh and it feels more like a game than a study session. Our retention numbers actually back this up, we're seeing really strong retention compared to typical language learning apps, which tells us the format works. The combo of real clips + immediate quizzes + spaced repetition keeps people coming back :)))
