WRD - Learn Words

Way too many words wrongly translated. Bad bad

Tried the free trial for a few days for learning Turkish and it seems fairly good for picking up basic vocabulary fairly quickly. I appreciate the different small “games” it uses to target different learning styles. However, my friends have said a handful of the words that are taught (ex: black-sara, goodbye-elveda) are very outdated ways of speaking and that no one uses those words anymore. I would like to see an updated list of words that are frequently used in everyday modern life. I don’t want to be sounding like someone’s grandma when I try to speak.

I don’t know if they just threw together a table of words or if its all just straight up AI, but it’s clear that each language wasn’t individually tailored as a lesson plan. I noticed immediately that my target language’s To Be (Temporary State) didn’t have a separate listing for To Be (Permanent State) in fact, there was no word for it at all! There’s also absolutely nothing teaching conjugations. I appreciate that they (claim to) have native speaker audio, but it’s clear that they ONLY consulted a native speaker for audio, and not the actual structure of the lessons. All it does is teach you random words with no context, no conjugation, no grammar—NOTHING. Save your money, people. Use it on an actual teacher.
