Learn words where they make sense. Read stories and your own content, understand words in context with AI, and remember them through a connected learning loop.
I’d probably start with Dutch news articles, since I always lose the sentence a saved word came from. The private library part makes sense. Just curious about Word Review: do you still see that original sentence/context there, or just the saved word and explanation?
@novamaker01 Yes, that’s exactly the problem we’re trying to solve.
In Word Review, the goal is not to show only the saved word and explanation. You should also keep the original sentence/context connected to that word, so when you review it later, you remember how it was actually used.
So with something like Dutch news articles, you can save a word from the article, and later review it with the meaning, explanation, and the sentence/context it came from. That context is the main difference we care about, because isolated words are easy to forget.
This is exactly what I needed, Mahan! As someone who constantly reads global tech platforms and user feedback across multiple languages for Review2Idea, I always find myself losing the original sentence structure when saving new industry buzzwords. Your private library concept makes total sense.
To answer your 3rd question: I’d absolutely use this to level up my professional English and contextual reading. Quick question on the 'Word Review' part—does the AI generate personalized quizzes using my actual saved sentences, or does it use generic examples?
Fully supported and upvoted. Excited to see Zingle grow!
@review2idea Thank you so much! Really appreciate the support and the thoughtful use case.
For Word Review, Zingle uses an SRS review system, similar to Anki. When you save a word, you can review it later with the original context sentence first, so you’re not just memorizing the word in isolation.
So the current flow is: saved word → original context sentence → recall → answer/details → SRS rating. The word details also include definition, sense explanation, examples, synonyms, antonyms, collocations, and pronunciation.
Learning new vocab in-context is the way to go! i am learning Portuguese and a bit of Turkish - wondering how well your tool handles these languages (especially Turkish, not that popular)?

This looks interesting! Is it a browser plugin or if not how does it work?
@saba_k Thanks! It’s not a browser plugin right now.
Zingle works as a web app: you paste or add content you care about, then Zingle helps you discover useful words inside that context. You can save words, see their meaning and usage, and review them later with the original context connected.
The idea is to make vocabulary learning feel less like memorizing random word lists and more like learning from real content you actually want to understand.
I like that this focuses on understanding words naturally instead of turning language learning into another streak game This idea feels calmer and more useful for long term memory.
@alheri_murya Thank you, that means a lot.
That’s exactly the feeling we wanted Zingle to have. We didn’t want to build another streak-pressure app where the main goal becomes “don’t break the chain.”
For us, vocabulary learning should feel calmer and more connected to real understanding. If you meet a word inside meaningful content, save it with its context, and review it over time with SRS, it has a much better chance of moving into long-term memory.
That’s the direction we’re building toward: context first, memory second, pressure last.

I really like the idea of learning vocabulary through real content instead of memorizing random word lists. That's how most people naturally learn and remember new words.
The ability to save words directly from content that interests you sounds especially useful, since it makes learning feel more relevant and personal.
As someone learning languages, I'd be much more motivated to use a tool that helps me understand words in context rather than just drilling flashcards.
@gabriella_anjani Thank you so much. That’s exactly the problem we’re trying to solve with Zingle.
Most learners don’t struggle because they can’t memorize one more word list. They struggle because the word gets separated from the moment where it actually made sense.
