See your vocabulary in one place
Useful words can come from many places.
You might save an expression while reading, find another in a video, add vocabulary from the browser extension or enter something yourself.
My Knowledge brings this vocabulary together in one place.
You can browse what you have saved, search for a word or phrase, look through recently added vocabulary and return to the context that helped make it useful in the first place.
You do not need a separate vocabulary list for every text, video or activity.
Keep track of what you are learning
Not every word in your vocabulary needs the same attention.
Vocafy uses three simple learning states:
- Not learning – the word is part of your vocabulary, but you are not actively learning it.
- Learning – you want to keep working on it.
- Known – you consider it familiar enough that you already know it.
You can change the state as your knowledge changes.
For example, you might save an interesting expression without wanting to practise it immediately. Later, you can move it to Learning. Once you feel comfortable with it, you can mark it as Known.
These states are also used in other supported parts of Vocafy, so the system can distinguish between vocabulary you are actively working on and vocabulary you already consider familiar.
Start with what you already know
Most learners do not arrive with an empty vocabulary.
If you already know hundreds or thousands of words in the language, marking them one by one would take a long time.
The vocabulary survey lets you work through groups of common words and quickly mark the ones you already know.
This gives Vocafy a more realistic starting point.
Instead of treating every common word as new, you can build a picture of what is already familiar and then focus more clearly on the vocabulary you still want to learn.
Follow your progress
My Knowledge also gives you a broader view of how your vocabulary is developing.
You can set a vocabulary goal and see how much of it you have already covered.
You can also see how your vocabulary compares with words commonly associated with different language levels.
These numbers are not meant to define exactly how well you speak a language. Vocabulary is only one part of language ability.
They are there to give you a useful overview of how much vocabulary you have already marked as familiar or are currently learning.
Return to the words you saved
Sometimes you remember saving a word but no longer remember why it mattered.
My Knowledge helps you return to the information connected with it.
For supported vocabulary, you may be able to see the meaning or translation you saved, the original example sentence, where the word came from and activity connected with it.
You can also look through recently added vocabulary instead of searching through everything you have ever saved.
This is especially useful when your vocabulary grows from a few dozen items to hundreds or thousands.
See how a word has developed over time
Learning usually happens gradually.
A word may first be saved from a text, later practised several times and eventually marked as Known.
Vocafy keeps a history of important activity around your vocabulary.
You can use it to see events such as when a word was saved, when its learning state changed and when it was practised.
Where the information is available, the history can also show which part of Vocafy the activity came from.
This gives you more than a static word list. You can see how your vocabulary has changed as you have worked with it.
Practise what you are learning
Words marked as Learning can become part of your regular vocabulary practice.
Vocafy can schedule vocabulary for review over time, so you do not have to decide manually which words to practise every day.
During a practice session, you can work with the same vocabulary in different ways. You might choose the correct answer, recall a word from its meaning, complete a sentence, type it from memory or work from audio.
This matters because recognising a word when you see it is not the same as remembering it yourself or recognising it when you hear it.
Daily Practice gives these activities their own focused place, while My Knowledge remains the place where you can see and manage the vocabulary behind them.
Listen when you do not want another exercise
You can also spend time with your vocabulary without working through questions one by one.
Saved words, meanings and example sentences can be played as continuous audio.
This can be useful when walking, travelling or simply when you would rather listen than work through another screen-based activity.
Organise vocabulary into collections when you want to
My Knowledge is not the same as a collection of word lists.
It gives you a broader view of the vocabulary Vocafy knows about for you.
When you want to keep selected words together for a particular purpose, you can create a Voca Set.
For example, you might make a collection for a trip, a course, a book, a work topic or vocabulary you want to practise together.
A word can still be part of your personal vocabulary even if you never add it to a Voca Set.

Part of the wider Learning Memory
My Knowledge is where you can see and manage much of your personal vocabulary, but the information is not limited to this page.
Words you save, their context, their learning state and parts of their history can also be used by other supported features in Vocafy.
That wider connection is what Vocafy calls Learning Memory.
