Tired of These Language Learning Problems?

❌

Words Have Multiple Meanings

You translate a word, but it doesn't make sense in context. Many words have 2, 3, or even 5+ meanings. Direct translation fails when you need to understand nuance.

😴

Flashcards Are Boring

You try flashcards, word lists, and textbooks. You memorize words but forget them quickly. The process is tedious and you lose motivation.

🔤

Learning Words in Isolation

You learn words but don't know how to use them. You miss idioms, expressions, and natural language patterns. You sound like a textbook, not a native speaker.

There's a better way...

Learn Languages the Natural Way

My Dictionary helps you learn vocabulary through understanding, not translation. Learn through music you already love, with context-rich definitions, idioms, and natural language patterns.

🎵

Learn Through Music You Love

Turn your favorite songs into language lessons. Learn vocabulary naturally through repetition, context, and emotional connection. It doesn't feel like studying - it feels like enjoying music.

Understand, Don't Just Translate

The story behind My Dictionary and why understanding beats translation every time.

My name is Alexander, and I'm the creator of My Dictionary. Four years ago, I was struggling to learn English as a Russian speaker with no English-speaking environment around me. I was tired of traditional translation-based learning methods that never seemed to stick.

Then I discovered a powerful concept: learn every language as if it's your first. Instead of constantly translating between languages, I started building understanding through meanings and context. I would write definitions in Russian to explain English words, not translate them. This created a deeper, more natural understanding.

But doing this manually in textbooks was exhausting. So I built My Dictionary to automate this process and make it accessible to everyone. As my English improved, I naturally transitioned to writing definitions in English itself, building true fluency.

Today, I'm fluent in English and use it as my primary language for daily life. I'm proud of this journey and want every language learner to experience the same transformation.

Why Understanding Beats Translation

Deep Learning: Understanding meanings creates lasting knowledge, not just word-for-word memorization.
Natural Fluency: You learn to think in the target language, not constantly translate in your head.
Context Mastery: You grasp how words work in different situations, not just their dictionary equivalents.
