Keep Your Word

Freestyle vocabulary learning

Are you studying a new language? Your class notebook contains an endless list of words that you have to learn? You remember that your teacher told you how to say a lot of useful things but, can you find them in your notebook? Keep Your Word lets you build your own dictionary, classifying and grouping the terms exactly how you want to, while helping you to learn a large vocabulary thanks to its different exercise modes.

Keep Your Word is designed to…

Let you build yor own dictionary.

The basic item that can be added to Keep Your Word is “A Word”.

Keep Your Word supports all the character sets that your Mac supports, so you can write any word in any language supported by your Mac.

Don’t forget to tag your words, and add comments to them. Later, you will understand why…

Organize and classify your words.

You can add new words to the main library, or directly to any of the default categories that Keep Your Word provides you.

Those default categories are “Adjectives”, “Substantives” and “Verbs”, but you can modify, reorder, delete or do whatever you want to them at any time.

Do some hard work for you.

If you do not feel comfortable using a hierarchical organization, just group your word using Smart Groups.

Smart Groups are quite similar to iTunes’ smart lists. You decide what you want to have in a Smart Group (words containing one character, containing one tag, created in a date range…) and Keep Your Word groups them for you.

Find words quickly.

Never lose track onf any of your words again.

Groups and Smart Groups can get very crowded, so use the built-in search field to find what you are looking for. It includes your tags and comments in the results.

Do exercises.

We tried, I swear, but we could not develop an application that could learn for you.

So, to help you learn all the words that you have so carefully added to Keep Your Word, the application provides three “Exercise modes”.

“Flash Cards” is a quick exercise, where you are shown a word in the “other” language, and you have to recognize it.

“Quick Quiz” is, well, a quiz. You are shown a word, and two possible meanings, and have to identify the correct one.

Finally, in the “Printed Test” mode, you can print a random list of words, in the “other” language, in “your” language, or in both, so you can do written tests.

The three “Exercise Modes”, get the content from the category that is selected when you launch them. So, you can do exercises only with the words that you tagged with “food”, or the words that you added to your dictionary in the last week, or…
