Questions, answered plainly.
The short version: choose a supported language and the words you care about, learn them in context, and let due reviews guide what comes back next.

Start with the practical questions: where the words come from, how they move through the feed, what progress means, and which parts of language learning Wordy Birdy is designed to support.
01Do I need my own word list?
No. You can start with beginner essentials, paste your own vocabulary, or build a list from a captioned YouTube video.
02What if I already know some of the language?
A placement check can give you credit for familiar vocabulary before your feed begins. Your active goal then focuses the next words and reviews.
03What happens after I choose my words?
The feed introduces target vocabulary with image-backed cards, reuses words in short stories, and mixes in active practice. Reviews that are due come before brand-new learning content.
04Does Wordy Birdy teach grammar?
Yes, in context. Grammar notes and practice can explain patterns found in a story, but grammar evidence does not block story completion or vocabulary-goal progress.
05Can I see sentence translations?
You can explore words inside a sentence when you need support. The interface avoids permanently displaying a direct sentence translation so you can stay with the language you are learning.
06How does spaced review work?
After practice, a scheduler estimates when the word should return. Stronger recall generally allows a longer interval; difficulty brings the word back sooner. Due reviews are prioritized in the feed.
07Does the same word reset in a new list?
No. Mastery belongs to the vocabulary item, so knowledge carries across every list and story where that word appears.
08Is Wordy Birdy a complete language course?
It is a vocabulary-first prototype, not a promise to replace conversation, extensive listening and reading, or instruction from a skilled teacher. It is designed to make the words you care about easier to learn and revisit.
09Which languages can I learn?
Wordy Birdy has catalog support for English, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Latin American and Castilian Spanish, Modern Standard Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, Indonesian, Urdu, German, Japanese, Marathi, Vietnamese, Turkish, Greek, and Farsi. The language picker shows the languages whose learning content is currently ready.
10Do I need a credit card to start?
