Vocabulary in Context

Save vocabulary in its context and review them later. A highly efficient tool to improve vocabulary when learning foreign language.

Vocabulary in Context - Toolkit for Foreign Language Learning

'Vocabulary in Context' is a Chrome extension that facilitates language learning by allowing users to save new vocabulary in its actual context while reading online articles or news. The saved vocabulary can then be reviewed later from any device. This approach mimics natural language acquisition and proves more effective as the words are encountered in contexts that interest the user. It acts as a useful toolkit for foreign language learners and includes special features like Mac OS X support, HTTPS page saving, conflict-free hotkeys, and optional automatic daily reminder to review saved vocabulary.

User reviews

扩展不错。可是它的软件无法下载

Minka Li, 2021-10-16

It seems to work as intended. In order to review saved content, you need to go online to its webpage. It doesn't appear to have SRS feature. Also one can not save contents locally, which is very unfortunate.
