How well did you know this word?
Looking up a word is easy. Remembering it later is the problem.
Dictionaries explain a word once, then it's gone. Browser translators don't build a vocabulary history. Manual flashcards interrupt your reading. Word Holder keeps the words you naturally encounter so they're still there a week later.
From reading to review, automatically
- Read a French book, article, or webpage.
- Look up an unfamiliar word — on the website or with the Chrome extension.
- The word is saved automatically with its meaning and an example sentence.
- Come back the next day to review only the words you actually met.
Reviews are scheduled by an SM-2-based scheduler — the same family that powered Anki — so each word comes back right before you forget it.
