LanGeek provides word examples to help learners understand how words are used in context. These examples are carefully chosen to give learners a clear, real-world understanding of vocabulary. LanGeek’s focus on context learning ensures that learners can see words in action and better grasp their meanings.
Why Word Examples Are Important
Word examples are essential for language learning because they provide context for the vocabulary being studied. Instead of just memorizing word definitions, learners can understand how words are used in sentences and how they interact with other words. Examples help learners:
-
Understand meanings: Seeing a word in context helps clarify its meaning and usage.
-
Improve retention: Associating a word with a real-life example makes it easier to remember.
-
Learn grammar: Examples show how the word fits into different grammatical structures, helping learners understand its correct usage.
How LanGeek Chooses Its Examples
LanGeek’s word examples are chosen carefully to ensure they are useful, accurate, and relevant. The platform follows these guidelines:
-
Full Sentences: Examples are chosen to be complete and standalone, rather than incomplete parts of a text. This ensures learners can see the word used fully in context.
-
Grammatical Accuracy: LanGeek pays close attention to how words are used grammatically in examples. For example, if a word is typically used in the passive voice, examples will reflect that usage.
-
Multiple Examples for Each Sense: For words with more than one meaning, LanGeek provides several examples for each sense. This helps learners understand the different ways a word can be used.
-
Simple Examples for Basic Words: For easier, more basic words, LanGeek provides simple examples that are easy to understand. For more advanced words, examples may be more complex to match the difficulty of the word.
-
Avoiding Morphological Confusion: LanGeek avoids examples that use words from the same morphological family. For instance, they won’t use “hopefully” as an example for the word “hopeful.”
LanGeek’s Word Example Library
LanGeek currently offers over 250,000 example sentences and continues to add thousands of new examples each month. While some examples remain the same unless there is an issue with them, the platform is dedicated to expanding its collection of examples, especially for words that may not yet have sufficient examples.
Smart Lookup Integration
LanGeek’s Smart Lookup feature is integrated with word examples across the platform. This means that any word you click on will instantly display its meaning and relevant example sentences. This feature allows learners to quickly access the word’s definition and see how it is used in context, helping them reinforce their understanding of the word in real time.
Whether you’re reading a lesson, exploring vocabulary lists, or just browsing through the platform, Smart Lookup ensures that word examples are always at your fingertips for quick reference.
