Word Sources

Organise your vocabulary by where you encountered it — a book, a TV series, a podcast, or any other source — and study words in context.

What Are Word Sources?

A Word Source is an optional container that groups vocabulary by its real-world origin. If you’re learning words from a novel, you can create a source called The Little Prince and track which chapter each word came from. If you’re watching a TV series, you can create a source for the show and add a section per episode.

Sources are entirely optional — words don’t have to belong to one. But they’re useful for learners who want to connect vocabulary back to the material they’re consuming.

Source Types

When creating a source, choose from six types:

Sections

Each source can have one or more sections — subdivisions that correspond to chapters, episodes, or any other unit. For example:

• Harry Potter → Chapter 1, Chapter 2, …
• My Favourite Drama → Episode 1, Episode 2, …

Words are linked to a section (not directly to a source), so you always know exactly where each word came from.

Creating a Source

1. Go to the Sources tab
2. Tap Add New Source
3. Enter a name and choose a source type
4. Tap Save

Then open the source and tap Add Section to create your first section.

Adding Words to a Source

When adding a word via Add Word, a Source picker appears at the bottom of the form (if you have at least one source set up). Select the section where you encountered the word.

When importing via CSV or Anki, you can assign all imported words to a source section in the import preview screen.

Reviewing by Source

Open a source or section and tap Review to start a review session that includes only words from that source. This is useful for studying vocabulary from a specific chapter before moving on.
