Personal Wordlists

Personal wordlists are a versatile feature that allows users to create personalized wordlists from LanGeek’s extensive vocabulary library. This flexibility enables learners to tailor their vocabulary learning experience to their specific needs and interests. Whether you want to practice difficult words, create thematic lists, or keep a personal vocabulary notebook, custom wordlists offer the tools to make your language learning journey unique and effective.

Enhancing the Learning Experience

1. Personalized Learning:
   • Custom wordlists add a new dimension to the LanGeek platform by allowing learners to create their own wordlists and share them with others. Users do not need to worry about adding detailed information for each word as the platform provides definitions, images, and examples.
2. Integration with LanGeek’s Learning System:
   • Learners can use all the features of the LanGeek four-step learning system—word review, flashcards, quizzes, and more—on their custom wordlists. This integration ensures a comprehensive and cohesive learning experience.
3. Organization with Subcategories:
   • Custom wordlists can have subcategories, allowing users to organize their words more effectively. Subcategories can be named according to themes, topics, or any other classification system, mirroring the organization of pre-made wordlists on the platform.

Practical Applications

1. Learning from Books or Movies:
   • While reading a book or watching a movie, users can create a custom wordlist to collect all the new words they encounter. This helps in systematically learning and revisiting these words later.
2. Group Learning:
   • For classroom settings or study groups, learners can create a group wordlist to compile all the new words learned in a class. This list can be shared with classmates, facilitating collaborative learning.
3. Interest-Based Wordlists:
   • Users can create wordlists on topics that interest them but are not covered by the platform’s pre-made lists. This could include niche topics or specialized vocabulary.
4. Targeting Difficult Words:
   • Learners can make custom wordlists to practice words they find challenging. This targeted practice helps reinforce learning and improve retention.
5. Personal Vocabulary Notebook:
   • A custom wordlist can serve as a personal vocabulary notebook where learners keep track of all the words they learn over time. This personal collection can be reviewed and studied periodically.
