This update was shaped directly by your feedback. Many of you shared that you wanted to be able to click on a word to hear its pronunciation, revisit its meaning, or adjust how it shows up in your learning.
Word Information is our response: designed to give you the access, clarity, and confidence you’ve been asking for.
“When I go to my learned words I am unable to click on them anymore so I can review and hear how they sound… It would be great if those features would still be available.”

“I really miss listening to the audio in the dictionary of learned words. Click on the word and listen to the pronunciation.”
— abby2005love
“Is there a way to get words pronounced without having to wait for them to come up? I wish you could click on a word and hear the pronunciation.”
— christinayang92
“Would it be possible to add an option…? There is no function to describe the word or its translation after clicking on it. A translation (such as a dictionary) would be useful.”
