Meet the word in a story
Vocabulary starts inside a sentence, with a speaker, topic, and reason for the word to appear.
Verbalane
News stories, told as dialogue.
Vocabulary
Learn French vocabulary from the stories you read

The vocabulary loop
Context first, review second
Open a hint
Tap important words for quick meaning and context without leaving the reading flow.
Save what matters
Keep only the words you want to see again, instead of building a giant list by accident.
Review later
Return to saved words and strengthen recall after the story is no longer fresh.
Why it matters
A saved word should remember where it came from
Vocabulary lists can grow quickly and still feel disconnected from actual French. Verbalane starts with the sentence. The hint explains the word where it appears, and review gives you another chance to recall it later.
That keeps vocabulary tied to reading comprehension instead of becoming a separate memorization chore.
