A collection is a list of words. Flashcards for training are assembled from collections; they can be shared, exported, and imported as files.
An account is required. A couple of collections are created automatically upon registration, so you can start adding words immediately.
How to add a word
The + button is available in the search results and on the page of every word. It opens a list of your collections—simply choose the one you need.
If you mark one collection as the primary one, the button will change to + collection name and will add the word with a single click, without requiring a selection. This is significantly faster and is the recommended way to work during daily reading.
To make a collection primary: open the collection → Make primary.
A word that has already been added is marked with a checkmark, so you cannot add the same word twice.
Create a collection
Collections → + New collection. A name is required; a description is optional.
Visibility:
- Private — only invited members;
- Public (accessible to everyone via link) — anyone with the link can join, and the collection appears in Explore.
Visibility can be changed later in the collection settings.
How the collection page is structured
A list of words, each showing its reading, meaning, the number of examples, and how many times you have reviewed it.
At the top, there is a Group by: toggle — None, By day, or By week. Grouping by day is useful for remembering what you read last week: words are arranged by the date they were added.
In the same area, you will find the ↑ Import, ↓ Export, Settings, and Training buttons.
Shared collections
A public collection is shared via a link from the settings (Invitation link). Anyone who opens it will see a join page and can immediately enable training for that collection.
Other people's public collections can be searched for in the Explore section: there you can see the author, the number of words, and the number of participants.
Roles
| Role | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Owner | everything, including deleting the collection and managing members |
| Author | adding and deleting words |
| Member | reading and training |
Someone who joins via a link becomes a member. The owner can promote them to an author using the ↑ Make author button and demote them back.
Important: training is individual for each person. By joining a shared collection, you get a shared list of words, but your own progress—your reviews are not visible to others and do not interfere with them.
Training with a collection
Collection settings → Training, or the Training button on the collection page.
- Enable training — whether the collection is included in daily lessons.
- Words per day — from 1 to 50. Start with 5–10; you can always increase it later.
- Lesson time — up to five values in
HH:MMformat, according to your time zone. A reminder will be sent at this time. - Notifications — Telegram, web push (browser), email. → Telegram and notifications
Settings are set separately for each collection, so you can study your primary list every day and a second list once a week. → Training
Export and Import
↓ Export downloads the collection as a JSON file. Inside are the Thai spelling, reading, IPA, meanings in both languages, examples, components, and links between words. The format is called thlang-vocab-v2.
↑ Import uploads such a file into a new collection. Both our format and a simple list of words are accepted—so a list collected elsewhere will usually work as well.
Words that are already in the dictionary are linked to existing articles. Those that are not are added as unverified entries marked with ⚠ unverified—these should later be supplemented with an AI analysis. → AI word analysis
Export is useful not only for transferring data: it is your personal archive that does not depend on us.
Dos and Don'ts
One working collection is better than five thematic ones. Training already selects words based on the review interval; dividing them into "food," "transport," or "verbs" adds more hassle than benefit. Thematic lists make sense when you are preparing for a specific trip or lesson.
Add words you encounter yourself. A word you find on a sign or in a chat is remembered significantly better than a word from someone else's frequency list—because it already has context.
Do not add hundreds of words at once. The "words per day" limit will prevent you from learning everything at once anyway, and a long queue of new words can feel overwhelming.
