How to Learn or Improve
a Foreign Language
Most Efficiently?
If you read this page completely, you'll understand exactly how to learn any language much faster and more efficiently using WRD. You'll see how to let the algorithm and AI do the hard work for you — and how to get the most out of every minute you spend in the app.
Follow these steps, and soon you'll start noticing real results — understanding SMS, emails, ads, texts, news, and even TV in just a few weeks.

Let's begin.
Step #1: Relax — and trust the algorithm.
WRD's AI has already done all the hard work for you — every step, every timing, every detail is optimized for maximum learning speed and efficiency. You don't need to think, plan, or second-guess. Do you really need taxi checkers to drive — or do you just want to move forward efficiently?
At first, the process may feel a little different from what you're used to, but that's because it's built for real results, not for imitation of old methods.
Trust it — and you'll feel the "wow" moment by your second month. You'll suddenly start understanding the world around you — text messages, emails, ads, news, and even conversations or TV shows.
WRD's algorithm has been tested and refined on over a million users, guided by thousands of efficiency experiments and real-world data — this is learning backed by both science and proof.
Step #2: Use your "Daily Plan".
Forget about deciding what to learn next — WRD has already calculated what brings you the best results at this exact stage of your progress. Just tap one button and go.
This simple habit removes the problem of choice and keeps you 100% focused on progress.
Step #3: Learn or mark as known 30–50 words at the beginning.
This first step helps WRD understand your personal learning pattern and real language level. Once it has enough data, the algorithm builds your individual learning curve — and from there, every single action in the app adjusts it automatically.
The result: you get the maximum percentage of language understanding per the smallest unit of time — no wasted minutes, no random repetition.
Step #4: Use the single-swipe gesture to type faster.
Instead of typing letter by letter, just swipe to input words instantly. This small optimization cuts a 5-word session down to only 2.5 minutes — short enough to fit anywhere in your day, but powerful enough to trigger visible progress.
Step #5: Do at least one short session per day.
One focused 2.5-minute session daily is enough to keep your progress consistent and automatic. The system is designed so that even minimal effort compounds into massive results over time.
Step #6: Do up to 3–5 sessions when you have more time.
You can space them through the day — morning, lunch break, evening — to accelerate your improvement even faster. Many users notice clear jumps in comprehension after just a few weeks of following this rhythm.
Step #7: Add one quick review session daily when possible.
Reviewing about 20 words takes just 2 minutes, but greatly strengthens retention and recall. It's like giving your brain a light polish — keeping everything sharp and accessible.
Step #8: Use passive learning through audio.
Listening to your recent lessons while commuting, exercising, or doing chores is a secret weapon for faster progress. It activates your subconscious learning systems — reinforcing what you've learned without extra effort.
Many WRD users say they suddenly start recognizing words they didn't even remember learning — that's the algorithm at work.
Step #9: Don't turn off easy words — mark them as known instead.
This helps WRD precisely measure your true comprehension level and tune your path for maximum learning speed. Easy words are part of the curve — they train your brain's rhythm and help the algorithm optimize your sessions perfectly.
Step #10: Don't skip sessions — even when tired.
Surprisingly, the brain absorbs language even better when it's relaxed or a little tired — because most cognitive barriers disappear. That's why a short WRD session before sleep can be one of the most effective learning moments of the day.
If you're too tired for new words, simply switch to a review session — it still keeps your curve active.
Step #11: It takes about a week to get used to WRD.
At first, the approach might feel new — but once you get used to it, everything will start to flow naturally. After that first week, you'll find yourself automatically wanting to open WRD every day, because you'll feel how fast your understanding grows. And that's when the real magic begins.
