Personal Phrasebook

Star Anything

See a word you want to remember? Tap the star. Found a useful phrase in the dictionary? Star it. Come across a sample sentence that captures exactly the kind of Chinese you want to learn? Star it. Every starred item goes into your personal phrasebook — a curated collection that reflects your specific goals and interests.

Focused Study Sessions

Your phrasebook isn't just a list — it's a study tool. Run focused flashcard sessions using only your starred items. Preparing for a trip? Star travel vocabulary all week, then study just those items the night before you leave. Reviewing for an exam? Star the terms you keep getting wrong and drill them until they stick.

Star status is fully integrated with the app's search and filtering. Combine it with tags, difficulty ranges, and mastery levels to build precisely targeted study sessions — like "starred food vocabulary I haven't mastered yet" or "starred items at difficulty 50 or below."

Your Learning, Your Way

The adaptive study system is powerful, but sometimes you know best what you need to study. The phrasebook gives you that control without abandoning the benefits of the adaptive system. Star the items you care about, study them when you want, and let the main study system handle everything else. The two approaches complement each other — focused effort on what matters to you, intelligent management of everything else.
