Love it
I got a targeted ad on instagram for this app and it looked good so I decided to give it a try. I’m learning Russian and use several apps. This has become one of my favorites! I don’t know why but the way it teaches just works for me. At first it seems like they’re introducing too many new words at once but somehow they all stick with me. I’m sure there’s some science to it but all that matters is that it does work! There is quite a lot of content on the free version and I really enjoy the concept of earning gems to unlock new words packs. Also, if you’re tired of being shamed and penalized for mistakes, this app seems a lot gentler in its approach. You are given a chance to correct yourself but you don’t lose lives (there are none) or gems. Other apps give me anxiety about making mistakes (I’m looking at you Duo) which keeps me from studying but not with WRD. I’ll probably end up paying for the full app because there seems to be way more helpful stuff behind the paywall and if it works, it’s worth it! Can’t speak for other languages but for Russian WRD is fantastic!
