I just jail broke my kindle and have a few epubs and thought maybe this would be a good time to change my approach to vocabulary.
What I’d like to do is learn the vocabulary for my reading before I read it, instead of after, or as I’m reading it.
My dream piece of software would do the following:
-
resolve all words down to their most basic form (ie, singular for nouns, infinitive for verbs, etc.) (My Language is French)
-
count occurences of each word
-
Filter out words I already know
-
Define the words with a bilingual dictionary to english, including original context sentence.
-
Make anki cards for me to study.
(6) God-tier programming: also include idiomatic expressions as vocabulary)
Does this exist?
Edit: Or help me assemble a pipe to get all these tasks done separately.
If you need the vocab first then it is too advanced. Pick easier works to read. As a beginner there is no option but it shouldn’t take too long before you can find something you can understand without looking up words.
