Context does the teaching
A word sitting in a sentence tells you what it means, how formal it is, and what it usually travels with. A dictionary entry gives you five meanings and leaves the choosing to you — which is the part you can't do yet.

Reading builds a vocabulary faster than any word list — until every other sentence sends you to a dictionary. Gloss keeps you on the page: tap a word for what it means, and the ones worth keeping become review games.

Save a word while you read.
It comes back as a game.
Nothing here is a generic word list. Every round is built from the units you bookmarked — the same phrases, in the same book, with the same audio. Ten games across matching, building and listening, so a word gets tested from every angle.
Why reading works
You didn't learn your first
language from a word list.
02
A novel repeats itself for you
Books reuse their own vocabulary. The word you looked up in chapter one comes back in chapter four, then chapter nine, spaced out across a story you're following anyway. That's the review schedule, built in.
03
The story pulls you back
Narrative is the one study habit that maintains itself. A streak needs defending; a good book just needs finishing. Wanting the next chapter does more for your Spanish than discipline ever will.
So what's been stopping you
Friction. Reading in a language you're learning means stopping every few lines — switch apps, type the word, get a list of meanings that don't quite fit, lose the thread, and forget the word by the next page anyway. The reading was never the problem. Everything around it was.

Por la madriguera del conejo
Alicia empezaba a estar muy cansada de estar sentada junto a su hermana en la orilla del río, y de no tener nada que hacer. Una o dos veces se había asomado al libro que su hermana leía, pero no tenía dibujos ni diálogos.
