Adding new words to the list
After looking up a word in Youdao Dictionary, tap save/add to word list, and the word — with its definition and examples — is stored. Casually save new words you meet while reading, watching shows or doing exercises; over time they form your personal vocabulary bank, far more efficient than scattered memorizing.
How to review and memorize
Open the word list to review in one place: browse by add-time or category, re-read definitions and examples to deepen memory, and use the app’s review/test modes to consolidate. Spend a few fixed minutes daily going through new and old words, repeating along the forgetting curve.
Multi-device sync and habit tips
Sign in with the same account and the word list cloud-syncs between phone and desktop, so you can memorize during commutes and breaks. The key to persistence is little-and-often at a fixed time; keep the word list handy and build the habit of save-after-lookup and daily review. Download at yoidao.com.
