Meet Viw

Viw — your little companion for learning English

One night, when every Viwa screen had gone dark, a tiny spark of light was left behind on the hologram platform. It spun and spun until it became a small robot: a round white helmet, a glowing blue screen for a face, and two cat ears.

Viw listens more than anything. The antenna blinks while Viw thinks, the ears droop when something goes wrong, and when you succeed Viw gets so excited it spins in circles. Viw never blames you — it just says “let's try again”.

No one should have to learn alone.

  • Cat ears

    Made for listening, not for looks.

  • Glowing antenna

    The spark of an idea; it blinks while thinking.

  • Screen face

    Honest — every feeling shows on it.

  • Green heart

    Beats faster with every small win of yours.

FAQ

Questions about learning English with Viwa

Everything worth knowing before you start learning English with movies and series.

What is Viwa and how does it help me learn English?

Viwa is an English learning app built on real movies and TV series. Instead of memorising word lists, you watch real scenes with interactive subtitles: tap a word for its meaning and pronunciation, swipe a sentence for an AI translation, and review new vocabulary in a Leitner box.

What English level do I need to use Viwa?

Viwa is designed for intermediate to advanced learners (B1 to C2). If you understand simple English sentences but still struggle to follow a show without native-language subtitles, Viwa is built for exactly that stage.

Is Viwa good for listening and speaking practice?

Yes. Because everything happens on real actor dialogue, you train listening, pronunciation, everyday idioms and conversational structure at the same time — the parts textbooks usually skip.

How does Viwa's Leitner box work?

Every word you save while watching goes into your Leitner box automatically. Spaced repetition then resurfaces it right before you would have forgotten it, moving it into long-term memory.

Is Viwa free to download and use?

Downloading and installing Viwa is free and part of the content is available without paying. Full access to the video library and advanced features runs on a monthly subscription of 149,000 Tomans.

Which devices does Viwa run on?

Viwa currently runs on Android 7.0 and above, on phones and tablets. You can install it from Cafe Bazaar, Myket, or via a direct APK download.

How is Viwa Pro different from the store version?

The learning features are identical; Viwa Pro simply ships with a larger library of movies and series. It is available as a direct APK download.

How can language schools and teachers use Viwa?

Language institutes can get dedicated codes for their students. After installing Viwa, a student enters the institute code in the app and their access is unlocked. Email us to request a code.
