# Wordy — Learn Languages with Movies & TV Shows

> Wordy is a language learning app used by 300,000+ people that teaches vocabulary through real movie clips and TV shows in 20+ languages. Available on iOS, Android, and Chrome.

## What is Wordy?

Wordy is a mobile and browser app that turns movies and TV shows into interactive language lessons. Instead of textbook exercises, you learn words by watching short film clips where those words are actually spoken by native speakers. Every word you encounter comes with its original movie scene, so you always learn in real context.

## How does learning work in Wordy?

1. **Browse movies and TV shows** — Pick from 15,000+ curated film clips or stream content from YouTube and other platforms with interactive subtitles.
2. **Tap any word for instant translation** — While watching, tap any subtitle word to see its meaning, save it to your personal vocabulary, and hear pronunciation.
3. **Practice with film clip quizzes** — Wordy tests you with 3 quiz types (translate, select, type) using the exact movie scenes where you first learned the word. You always see and hear the word in its original film context.
4. **Spaced repetition** — The app schedules review sessions at optimal intervals so words move into long-term memory.

## What makes Wordy different from other language apps?

Unlike Duolingo or Babbel, Wordy teaches through real entertainment content — actual movie scenes and TV show clips. Unlike Lingopie or FluentU, Wordy's vocabulary system is built around individual film clips: every flashcard and quiz question includes the exact movie scene where the word appears, so you never learn words in isolation. The speech recognition feature can listen to your TV and follow along in real time, creating a seamless second-screen learning experience.
