I have found it very useful to have an additional “context” sentence with the vocabulary word to expand my comprehension of it. Frequently, the original source material does not seem to have enough context for me to figure out the word easily. But there is an easy way to come up with a sentence using your target word by utilizing “Ask AI”. Here is my quick process. (I am studying Spanish.)
- When reviewing the answer in flashcards, click “edit”
- In Edit mode, find and click “+ Add Context.” Leave the new box empty.
- Go to “Ask AI” and enter “Make a sentence using the Spanish word” (or French, Italian, whatever you are studying.)
- The AI will generate an appropriate sentence. Highlight the sentence and drag and drop to the empty “Add Context” box in step 2. (or copy & paste = slower).
- Click Done
- For future cards, you will be able to pick the “Make a sentence using the Spanish word” from a drop down option in Ask AI, so you will not have to type anything at all. Very quick.
That’s it. You now have an additional sentence that shows the word in a different manner so you have broader understanding of the word. I find that the AI sentences commonly have better surrounding words that help me figure out the word on my own. Cheers to AI and to Readlang for these great tools!
I hope you find this tip helpful in your language journey!
