My Vocabulary

The "My Vocabulary" page helps you keep track of words and phrases you want to remember and practice. You can save words directly from your conversations with Madame AI, add your own entries, and manage them effectively.

How Words are Saved

When you are conversing with Madame AI, you can select any text snippet from the conversation. Upon selection, a tooltip will appear with an option like "Save to Library" or a similar button. Clicking this will automatically add the selected text and its surrounding context (the message it came from) to your "My Vocabulary" list.

These automatically saved words will also include a link back to the original conversation, so you can easily revisit the context in which you encountered them.

Accessing Your Vocabulary

You can find your saved vocabulary by navigating to the "My Vocabulary" section from the main sidebar menu (usually under "Practice" or a similar section).

Features of the "My Vocabulary" Page

The "My Vocabulary" page displays your saved words and phrases in a table. The table columns are:

• Expander Icon: An arrow to expand the row for more details.
• Word/Phrase: The saved text.
• Context: A snippet of the original message context. If too long, it will be truncated with "...".
• Notes: A snippet of your personal notes. Truncated with "..." if too long.
• Translation: A snippet of your translation. Truncated with "..." if too long.
• Actions Menu (...): Provides options for each item.

Here's how you can interact with your vocabulary items:

1. Viewing Full Details

• Click the expander icon (an arrow) on the left of any row.
• This will reveal an expanded section below the row, showing the full, read-only text for:
  • Context (if available)
  • Notes
  • Translation

2. Editing Notes and Translations

• To edit the notes or translation for an item:
  1. Click the options menu ("...") for the desired row.
  2. Select "Edit" from the dropdown menu.
  3. A modal (pop-up window) will appear.
  4. Inside the modal, you will see:
     • The Word/Phrase (read-only).
     • The Context (read-only, if available).
     • The "Saved On" date (read-only).
     • An editable text area for your Notes.
     • An editable text area for your Translation.
  5. Make your changes to the Notes and/or Translation.
  6. Click the "Save" button in the modal to save your changes.
  7. You can also click "Cancel" to close the modal and discard any changes.

3. Viewing Linked Conversation

• For words saved directly from conversations, an options menu (usually a "...") will appear.
• Clicking this menu will reveal a "View Linked Conversation" option. Selecting this will take you directly to the point in the conversation where the word was originally saved.
• This option will not be available for words you've added manually.

4. Deleting an Item

• From the same options menu ("...") for any item, you can choose "Delete".
• A confirmation dialog will appear to ensure you don't accidentally delete words.
• Confirming will remove the word from your vocabulary list.

Manually Adding a New Word

You're not limited to saving words only from conversations. You can also add your own custom words or phrases:

1. Click the "Add New Word" button, usually found at the top of the "My Vocabulary" page.
2. A form or modal will appear with the following fields:
   • Word/Phrase (Required): The word or phrase you want to add.
   • Notes (Optional): Any personal notes for this word.
   • Translation (Optional): The translation of the word/phrase.
3. Fill in the details and click "Add Word" (or a similar button).
4. The new word will be added to your vocabulary list. Manually added words will not have a "Context" or "View Linked Conversation" option.

By using these features, you can build a personalized vocabulary list to aid your language learning journey with the platform and Madame AI.
