Here is how to use your new Chrome Extension :)
Ps. If you’re a beginner at your language and need some words to learn, I gathered the 80 most useful beginner words and phrases for you here.
Step one — Right-click on the word you want to know and choose ‘Translate with Google Translate’
You’ll now see the translation with a fresh new Wordeys button at the bottom of the page.
Step two — Build your own phrasebook
Build a customized phrasebook by translating the words you want to know. Tap the star icon to save a translation.
Step three — Practise your phrasebook
When you’re ready, click on the Wordeys button to start practising the words you saved!
Step Four — Remember your phrasebook
You can practise with flashcards and challenge yourself by taking a test.
Step Five — Save your new phrasebook into Wordeys
At the end of the test you can save this list in your Wordeys account and come back to practise more.
Once you’ve saved it, you can edit the list to your liking and delete your Google Translate Phrasebook to make a new one.
Step Six — Organise all your phrasebooks and share them with others to learn together :)
Step Seven — Add video lessons
Transform your lists into lessons by adding videos. Example: https://wordeys.com/lists/bahasa-indonesia-halo-0fdeb3379e8380e8
Ok, that’s it! Good luck, we hope we can help you make the world a little smaller. :)

5 creative ways to use the Wordeys Chrome extension:
- Listen 👂 to songs (and podcasts) and translate words from the lyrics.
- Read articles, books and newspapers 🗞 in your target language to find new words in context.
- Watch informative 💡 videos and documentaries and translate the words you want to know.
- Speak with locals as you travel 🌏 around and use Google Translate on your phone to save words from your conversations so you can learn them at home.
- Use Wordeys as your notebook 📚 to keep, learn and share definitions from your studies or work. Study definitions with flashcard and share your notebooks with colleagues. :)
Bonus: one more super ⚡️ tip for teachers:
- Ask your students to find a song/video/article they like and let them choose the words they want to learn. This way, you can both help them research a topic that’s in line with their interests while learning a language.
(For English teachers; we’re big fans of the Kurzgesagt and The School of Life videos to use as informative language learning content!)
