Vocabulary from your reading

A LingQ alternative for the articles you already open.

Do you want a place to organize reading and listening, or help on the website you are visiting? That decision is more useful than a long checklist of features without a reading routine behind it.

Choose a lesson library when you want one. Choose page assistance when the reading is already there.

One word. Two websites. Another chance to recall.

An English-learning example with a German meaning. These sentences were written for this explanation.

1. An article about urban gardens

The garden is part of a sustainable plan for the neighbourhood.

You select “sustainable” and request a translation.

Meaning in this example: nachhaltig

The word is stored in your vocabulary collection.

2. Later: a different article about housing

The team is looking for sustainable ways to build homes.

Saved word, due for review

If the saved word appears on an eligible page and is due, you can open a short review.

What meaning comes to mind? Open the explanation

Here “sustainable” again means “nachhaltig”. A due review in Stickly asks you to enter an answer. This explanation does not record a review result.

Schematic explanation, not a product screenshot. Re-encounters depend on your reading. Highlights and inline practice have separate controls.

LingQ brings content into a learning space

LingQ presents a content library and an importer. Its official import guide says the browser extension saves an article or video into My Lessons, where you open it in LingQ. That is a deliberate content workflow, not simply an on-page dictionary.

Stickly keeps this loop on the page

Stickly helps with selected text on the original page. Saved words can return as highlights in other eligible articles, with an inline task when due. The word hub remains available for managing and reviewing the collection.

LingQ may suit you if you want content gathered into lessons. Stickly may suit you if you already have sources and want vocabulary assistance there. Neither choice removes the need to choose manageable texts.

Compare review habits, not just content access

LingQ documents a vocabulary Due for Review list driven by spaced repetition. Check how that review fits your day before choosing a different tool.

A browser encounter depends on the words appearing in what you read. If you need a complete due-word session, use a separate review route. Compare your actual reading and reviewing habits before moving an existing collection.

Decide with two reading sessions

  1. Choose an article on a topic you care about.
  2. Try LingQ’s import-and-lesson workflow.
  3. Try Stickly on the original page and inspect the saved word.
  4. Ask whether you want a central content library or help across your existing sources.

Questions about this workflow

Does LingQ have a browser extension?

Yes. LingQ documents an Importer for browsers. Its guide describes importing content and opening it as a lesson inside LingQ. Check its current supported browsers and import conditions.

Can Stickly replace every LingQ feature?

No such claim is made. This page compares two reading routines. If you rely on LingQ’s library, media or lesson tools, check those requirements individually before switching.

Translate one useful word, find it in your collection, and keep reading.
