Improve your vocabulary

Learn words where you find them.

Capture new words and expressions from the books you read, the films you watch and the podcasts you hear. contexto keeps the sentence they came from, so when you practice, you remember the moment — not just a definition.

Works in your browser on phone, tablet, and desktop.

How it works

Three steps from discovering a word to mastering it.

1
dépaysement + Add

Capture it

Type a word or expression and the sentence you met it in — or snap a photo of the page and pick the sentence you want.

2
« …ressentait encore un léger dépaysement… »
Book · Sense 1 of 2

Keep the context

contexto saves the sentence, the source and the meaning that fits. Meet it again with a different meaning? Add it as another sense. You can write your own example sentences, too.

NewLearningMastered

Practice and master

Short quizzes built from your own sentences move each word and expression from new to mastered.

Features

Built for people who learn from real life, not word lists.

Scan a photo

Point your camera at a book or a screen and choose the sentences to save.

One word, many meanings

Words and expressions often have more than one sense. Add each one separately — with its own definition, examples, synonyms, source and mastery.

Quizzes from your sentences

Fill in the blank, Multiple Choice and Context Match, with optional hints when you need a nudge.

Track your mastery

See which words and expressions are new, which are sticking, and which you've truly made your own.

Many languages, one library

Learn several languages side by side, with listen-aloud pronunciation for every word and expression.

Your words, your data

Import and export your whole library as CSV or JSON, any time.

Practice

You remember where you found it. So does contexto.

Every quiz uses a sentence you actually read or heard, so recalling a word brings back the scene, the voice and the story around it. That’s what makes it stick.

Write your own context sentences
Add example sentences that mean something to you — from your work, your travels or your life — and contexto will use them in your quizzes.
