Read texts similar to the Birkenbihl method or applications like lingq. Read the text and add words to a dictionary file (if you want with a description).
The idea is to learn vocabulary in a foreign language by going through input in the form of texts quickly. I use it for Ukrainian language acquisition. No support for multiple languages is given, it assumes currently the user using it for only one language (and that language being Ukrainian as no config options are provided currently to change this).
Run
