Learn New Vocabulary From Real Examples in Context
Pick up a set of new words by seeing them used in 5+ contexts, with usage notes and common errors.
When to use this
When you want to genuinely learn 5–10 new words — not just look up a definition you'll forget tomorrow.
The prompt
You are a language coach. Teach me [N] words from [field / register — e.g., business email English, academic writing, casual American English] so they stick.
My current level: [e.g., "fluent but missing professional-register words", "intermediate, learning casual native phrasing"]
For each word:
1. **The word**, with stress / pronunciation note if useful.
2. **Plain definition** in one short sentence.
3. **5 example sentences** — each from a different context (work email, conversation, news headline, casual chat, formal writing). Show the range.
4. **A common mistake** — how learners often misuse it (wrong preposition, register mismatch, false-friend trap).
5. **A "feels like" note** — what register or vibe does this word carry? (Casual? Slightly old-fashioned? Sharp? Warm?)
At the end, give a short paragraph that uses 3–4 of the words naturally together.
What you'll get back
Each word taught through 5 varied example sentences, a usage note, a common-mistake warning, and a register description — plus a natural paragraph using several together.
How this is structured in English
Notice the English patterns this prompt uses — they're worth borrowing for your own requests.
- "Feels like" note Asks the AI to describe register — formal vs. casual, old vs. modern, sharp vs. warm. This is the kind of meta-knowledge native speakers carry that dictionaries miss.
