Adding Words

Build your vocabulary collection manually or by import.

Add a word manually

Click Add word on the Words page, from Home, or from a Source section. The form includes:

Field Required Notes
Word / phraseOne of word or translationLabel shows your target language name
TranslationOne of word or translationLabel shows your native language name
Part of speechYesNoun, verb, adjective, phrase, and so on
Source sectionNoLink the word to a section within a Source

Click Add word to save. The word detail page opens so you can generate flashcards or review metadata.

If you save with only the word or only the translation, LanguageDen queues an AI translation job to fill in the missing field.

Other ways to add words

  • Reader — save words from a Passage with a real excerpt
  • Notebook — capture text and Convert to a word later
  • CSV Import — upload a spreadsheet
  • Anki Import — upload an .apkg deck

Generate flashcards

After a word is saved, open its detail page and click Generate flashcards. You can also add cards manually with Add flashcard. See Generating Flashcards and Flashcard Types.

Image flashcards

For concrete nouns, AI generation often creates an image based card. On that flashcard, use Add image or Replace to search and attach a photo. Image search is per flashcard, not on the word itself.

After a bulk import

Imported words enter Word Triage as Needs triage. Process them there — generate flashcards, keep, or delete — before they join your regular review flow.

Organise with Sources

Link words to a Source Section to trace vocabulary back to the book, show, or course where you found it.
