A Highly Effective Way to Learn Vocabulary
Vocabulary in Context is a very efficient way to increase vocabulary whether you learn a foreign language or improve your native language. When you encounter a new vocabulary, it is more effective when you associate the word with its context. That will leave a vivid mark on your memory and last much longer.
How does it work? Here are four simple steps.
1. Sign up
You only need an email address to sign up.
2. Install browser extension and start saving vocabularies
You can use either Chrome or Firefox extension.
Install Chrome Extension
Install Firefox Add-on
Once you installed browser extension, you read any web pages like you normally do. When you encounter a vocabulary you wish to save, double click that word while holding down Ctrl (Command for Mac) key. The vocabulary and its context (surrounding text) will be saved in the cloud.
3. Frequently review saved vocabularies in any web browser
Vocabularies appear for your review in Memorize tab based on spaced time interval. You tick (check) vocabulary after you reviewed, and that vocabulary will not show until the next scheduled time.
4. Optionally, do the same thing on Android or iOS mobile app
Use mobile app to review and memorize vocabularies whenever convenient. You can take advantage of short idle breaks. It is more efficient to use several short periods than one long one when learning vocabulary. Allow some of your SNS time on reviewing vocabularies while on the go.
