Subject: Build Your Own Custom Word Lists at ESL Fast!
Dear ESL Fast Community Member,
We are excited to announce an updated feature on eslfast.com and rong-chang.com: My Study Words. While reading any passage, you can easily create personalized word lists to boost your vocabulary and track your learning progress.
How to Build a List of New Words
When reading a passage on eslfast.com or rong-chang.com, click the "My Study Words" button at the top of the text. A popup window will open, allowing you to build a custom list simply by clicking on any unfamiliar words in the passage.
What You Can Do with Your Saved Words
Once your list is created, click any of the icons next to a word to study it:
- Definition: Read clear explanations of the word.
- Translation: Translate the word into your native language.
- Image: View a visual representation of the word.
- Context: See how the word was used in the original passage.
- Delete: Remove words you no longer need to review.
With just a single click for each action, online reading becomes faster, interactive, and far more efficient.
How Vocabulary 1 and Vocabulary 2 Work
For every lesson you study, the system organizes your words into two distinct lists:
-
Vocabulary 1 (Initial Record): Built during your first reading session. Once you save this initial list, Vocabulary 1 is locked. It serves as a permanent record of every new word you encountered when you started the lesson.
-
Vocabulary 2 (Active Study List): The working list you update during review sessions. Each time you revisit a lesson, you can remove words you’ve successfully memorized into your long-term memory. Whenever you save changes, Vocabulary 2 updates to reflect only the words you still need to practice.
Viewing Your Progress Across All Lessons
Go to Dashboard > Vocabulary Lists and select any lesson to view its Vocabulary 1 and Vocabulary 2 lists.
At the top of your Vocabulary Lists page, you will also see two master options:
-
View All Vocabulary 1: Shows every new word you have studied this semester.
-
View All Vocabulary 2: Displays all the remaining words across all lessons that you still need to master.
