New Feature: Vocabulary Topics

If you live in a foreign country or are planning to visit one, coming prepared with key vocabulary makes a huge difference.

While a translation app or dictionary can help, knowing in advance how to say "cavity" when you're at the dentist or "cancellation" when you're trying to read a train schedule can help you navigate real-life situations smoothly. Save on-the-spot dictionary lookups and awkward pauses for the truly unexpected moments.

Besides preparing for real-life scenarios, you can also explore your favorite topics, however niche. Whether you're into cooking, sports, or any other hobby, you can generate vocabulary lists that will prime you to understand better from the get-go.

In addition, topics can be meta-linguistic, such as "false friends" or "false cognates," which are words that look similar in two languages but have different meanings. You can also try topics like "common Korean idioms" or "onomatopoeia in Japanese" to expand your vocabulary.

Whether you're preparing for an upcoming meeting or trip, getting ready to dive into the next chapter of the foreign language book you're reading, or just want to explore a new topic, Meanings is designed to help you learn and practice vocabulary tailored to your needs.
