This is how you can ditch the dictionary forever

So,

Being a non English, I used to google every time i saw a new English word while reading an article. Usually i check the word and forget it afterwards. I need to repeat the process every time even for the same word i checked week ago. Forgetting words are frustrating and once you start blaming your memorisation power.

This happens to everyone.

So, it gave me a thought why not my browser tell me the definitions of those words and remember it till i need. So that i don't have to search it every time. This leads me to create Dictozo (https://dictozo.com) a chrome browser plugin which saves the words and their translations and shows them to me on their occurrence in any web page.

Check now: https://dictozo.com

Constructive feedbacks are welcomed.:)

I guess it saved my lot of time searching same word again and again. You can have 2 way translations in 80+ languages and keep them feeding into your mind and boost your memorisation power.

Hmm, I guess this happens to people who start to learn English. It seems strange to me because I didn't have this problem. Who has the same problem I think a unique dictionary would help you. There are a lot of dictionary types. For example, many people I know we're working with scrabble dictionary. They told me that a dictionary it's an excellent tool for newbies. I was interested in this topic and finally found it. Who wants to see what is a scrabble dictionary check scrabble-dictionary.org/ . I'm sure that you'll discover a lot of new things.
