How to work with the studied words?

Question

English learning tools

Things got better when, instead of learning random words from pre-prepared dictionaries of 1000, 10000 and so on, I began to make my own from the words that I did not understand.
Now I use flashcards like Anki to learn these words, but it seems that not a small part of them just leaks and constantly goes on repeat, from time to time I fail to remember them.
Perhaps the use of these words could solve this problem. That is, it would be cool to be able to find some context by word with which to work.
Are there any apps or programs that can help with this? Or am I wrong and should I just continue to memorize the words from my list?

Answer 1

Google translator or others ... You enter a word after translation, a lot of usage examples.
Or use a service like puzzle-english , there are dictionaries, and educational videos, film-songs with translations, and more. Previously, there was a period of full free access during registration, now I don’t know, I won’t lie))

Answer 2

Just learning words without context quickly gets boring.
So far I have come to the list in excel. When I add a word/phrase, I also write the context - 1-2-3 sentences.
Later, you can search even more context in Google, as indicated above. In Context.reverso . I recently found Abbyy online . Lots of interesting examples.
If you need en-en, you can use the Cambridge Dictionary . There are many good examples + collocations + idioms.
Basically, I work in Excel. Did a simple spaced repetition. And that's it. I skimmed through the sheet. Much more convenient than poking these cards IMHO.
