Words stick better when they come in groups that belong together. The Learn New Words tool builds a short vocabulary list around a topic you choose, such as cooking, job interviews or travel, and gives you each word with its meaning and an example of how it is used.
It works for learners of a foreign language who want topic-based vocabulary, and for native speakers who want more precise words for their field. Because the output follows the language you select in the settings, you can learn English words on a topic, or Spanish, German or Italian ones, from the same form.
The tool belongs to the Languages family. Once you have the list, the List Synonyms tool helps you find alternatives to a word you already know, and Translate turns a whole text into another language.

Tips for better results
- Narrow the topic to a situation you will face, such as a doctor's appointment, not just health.
- Mention your level, beginner or advanced, to get words you can actually use.
- Generate the same topic in two languages to compare equivalent words.
- Review the list after a few days and write one new sentence for each word.

Limits and good practice
- It gives a vocabulary list, not a structured course or a test of your progress.
- Meanings and examples are generated text. Check a dictionary for nuance, register and regional usage.
- It does not provide audio pronunciation.
- Each generation uses credits from your plan, see pricing or create an account.
Frequently asked questions
How does learning words by topic help?
Words that belong to the same situation are easier to remember because you learn them with their context. Studying the vocabulary of one topic, such as renting a flat, also prepares you for real conversations, where those words appear together.
Which languages can I learn with this tool?
The words, meanings and examples follow the output language you select in the settings, so you can build lists in the languages the workspace offers. Write the topic in whatever language is easiest for you.
Does it explain how each word is used?
Yes. Next to the meaning of each word you get an example of how it is used, which shows the word in a realistic sentence. For formal or informal register and regional differences, a good dictionary is still the best reference.
Can I choose easier or harder words?
Add your level to the topic, for example beginner or advanced, and the list adapts. If the words feel too common or too rare, generate again with a more precise topic or a different level.
Can it replace a dictionary?
No. It is a quick way to discover words that belong to a topic and see them in use, while a dictionary is the reference for exact definitions, register, pronunciation and regional variants. Use the list to find the words, then look up the ones you plan to use often.
