Love Lost in Translation Sparks Free Language Learning Innovation

Cross-cultural romance leads to innovative browser that teaches personally relevant vocabulary in 100+ languages while reading online.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — When software entrepreneur Roy Daya fell for psychologist Esseniya, he found himself lost in the complex Russian terminology of her psychology research papers. Meanwhile, Esseniya struggled to follow Roy’s passionate discussions about technology and startups in Hebrew and English. Their solution to this romance-meets-professional challenge launches globally today as Wordz Browser – a free mobile app (for both iOS and Android) that helps anyone learn personally relevant vocabulary while browsing topics they care about in their native language.

“Traditional courses teach standardized vocabulary, but real-world interests and needs are highly individual. This tool lets people naturally acquire vocabulary in their specific areas of interest.” says Roy Daya, Co-Founder and CEO of WordzBrowser.

“I wanted to truly understand Esseniya’s world of psychology, but found myself stumbling over specialized Russian terms in her research papers,” explains Roy. “At the same time, Esseniya was trying to engage with my startup and technology discussions in Hebrew and English. We were both passionate about our fields and about each other, but language barriers were keeping parts of our professional worlds separate.”

Their love story sparked an idea: what if they could learn vocabulary naturally, simply by reading about each other’s interests? Today, that solution is available to everyone as Wordz Browser – a tool that subtly teaches you words in any of over 100 languages while you read websites in your native language.

“We realized this wasn’t just about us,” says Esseniya. “Everyone has their own unique interests and needs when learning a language. Whether you’re trying to understand your partner’s professional world like we were, following specific hobbies, or developing professional skills, traditional language courses rarely teach the vocabulary you personally need.”

Early users from a testing community of 259 people have found diverse applications:

– A gaming enthusiast learned Japanese gaming terminology while reading reviews

– A home cook mastered Italian cooking vocabulary through food blogs

– A resort worker picked up guest service terms in five languages

– A tech support agent learned product terminology in multiple languages

– A medical researcher accessed journal articles in German

“What makes this approach unique is its personalization,” says Roy Daya, Co-Founder and CEO of WordzBrowser. “Traditional courses teach standardized vocabulary, but real-world interests and needs are highly individual. This tool lets people naturally acquire vocabulary in their specific areas of interest.”

Key Features:

– Works in the background while you read

– No interruptions or clicking required

– Learns what vocabulary matters to you

– Processes everything privately on your device

– Free access to curated content

– Available in over 100 languages

The free browser includes access to a growing collection of content across various interests and topics, with premium options available for unlimited web access. All learning happens privately on users’ devices, with no storage of browsing history.

The story of Wordz Browser continues to reflect its origins. “Every time I understand more of Esseniya’s research papers, or she gets excited about a tech concept she’s read about, we’re reminded of why we created this,” says Roy. “Language learning is personal – it’s about connecting with the things and people you care about.”

About Wordz Browser:

Founded by Roy and Esseniya Daya, Wordz Browser helps people learn languages through their everyday reading. The platform supports over 100 languages and processes all learning privately on users’ devices. For more information, visit wordzbrowser.com.

As part of its mission to connect people and improve lives, Wordz Browser donates a portion of its revenues to train emotional support llamas worldwide. These llamas bring comfort and therapeutic support to communities in need, from children in hospitals to individuals coping with mental health challenges. “The idea is simple,” says Esseniya. “Just like language connects people, these llamas create connections and bring warmth to those who need it most.”

Wordz Browser is also available for organizations or communities seeking custom landing pages featuring specialized, curated lists of links tailored to their company, industry, branding, or other themes. See Wordz Browser for groups for more information.
