My Dictionary - Study Words
Vocabulary builder & quizzes
Free · In-App Purchases
The word’s on the tip of your tongue — and it won’t come out. Sound familiar?
I built My Dictionary because I know that feeling. It’s a tool to turn a “foreign” language into yours: you collect vocabulary from real life so that when it matters — in a meeting, on a trip, in conversation — the right word comes by itself.
For anyone who wants to speak, not just know the translation.
• Keep what you see: Run into a word in a book or on a sign? The camera scans it straight into your dictionary. Heard it in a podcast? Type it in. No scattered notes — your own dictionary, growing with you.
• Words that stick: Not just the translation — the full picture: pronunciation, examples, where the word came from. You understand the word — so it stays in your head.
• Forget the fear of forgetting: Our spaced repetition system brings back exactly what you find hardest. What tripped you up today, you’ll say tomorrow without thinking.
• Progress you can feel: Watch words move from “new” to “learning” to “mastered”. You see your growth in the charts — and feel it in how confidently you speak.
Bottom line: You’re not studying words. You’re making them yours — so when you need them, they’re already there.
