Vocabulary in Context
With Vocabulary in Context you build you own vocabulary by reading news, articles and basically any text on the web.
Registration on the SimBust website is necessary since this extension works with the website. To add words to the vocabulary database, do a left double click on them while holding down Ctrl. Extension will copy the surrounding text of the selected word and that will give you context so that you know what the word means later on when you’re learning new unknown words that you’ve added to the extensions database; see image above.
