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. • Agent Pip, your AI tutor: Chat about your words, get explanations when something doesn’t click, and add vocabulary straight from the conversation. Try it free with monthly AI credits. • Start with words you already have: Import lists from Quizlet, Anki, or a spreadsheet, or add a ready-made collection in one go. • 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. • Practice that feels like play: Match pairs, word scrambles, Mystery Word, and a fresh Daily Puzzle — a few minutes a day, built from your own words. • 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.
