Vocabulary Builder for ESL Learners

Build English vocabulary from the content you already read — with instant definitions, translations into your native language, and smart flashcards that help you remember.

The Problem with Learning English Vocabulary

Most ESL learners encounter unfamiliar English words every day — in articles, emails, social media, and work documents. The typical response? Open a new tab, Google the word, read the definition, and forget it by tomorrow.

If you want to actually remember, you'd need to copy the word into a flashcard app, add the definition, paste the context, and pick a deck. That's a 30-second interruption for every single word. So most people don't bother.

Bellek collapses that entire workflow into a single click — and adds something traditional dictionary apps can't: instant translations into your native language.

How Bellek Works for ESL Learners

1

Select any word on any website. The popup appears instantly with the English definition, synonyms, and examples.

2

See it translated into your preferred language — right in the popup, alongside the English definition. 20 languages supported.

3

Save it with one click. The word is captured with the full sentence context, source URL, difficulty level, and translation — in under 2 seconds.

4

Add your own notes — a memory cue, a usage note, or your own definition in your language.

Translations in 20 Languages: Set your preferred language in Settings (change anytime). Every English word you look up gets translated automatically — Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and 13 more. Translations are saved with the word for review. Free: 3 translations/day. Premium: unlimited.

Learn English from Real Content

Instead of studying disconnected word lists, Bellek lets you build vocabulary from the content you already read:

📰
News & articles BBC, CNN, The Guardian, Medium
📚
Study materials Coursera, Khan Academy, textbooks
💬
Social media & forums Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn
💼
Work documents Reports, emails, Slack

Every word you save carries the exact sentence where you found it. When you review a word later, you see how it was actually used — not just an abstract definition.
