Hello! I'm Rei, an official Notion ambassador.

This time, I'd like to introduce a template for creating an English vocabulary book in Notion!

The template we'll be introducing today.

When you think of vocabulary books, paper ones are probably the mainstream. However, aren't paper books a bit cumbersome to carry around, and difficult to add new words to when you're out and about?

The vocabulary book created with Notion that we're introducing this time can be quickly viewed on your smartphone and allows you to add words anywhere, making it highly recommended for those who want to learn words while commuting to work or school!

In this article, I will explain this template in detail, so please read until the end!

Inside the Template.

The overall structure of the template we're providing this time is as follows:

Overall view of the template

The database tabs are divided into two: Vocabulary Book and Word List.

Vocabulary Book Tab

The vocabulary book tab is used for memorizing words. In this tab, only the English word and word type are visible.

This is what it looks like on a smartphone. It's quite close to a physical vocabulary book!

You can check the answers and example sentences by opening each vocabulary entry, so you can start by memorizing English words using this vocabulary book.

Opening the vocabulary entry reveals the translation and example sentences.

The items within the vocabulary entry are as follows:

  • Type (Noun, Verb, etc.)
  • Translation
  • Example sentence
  • Example sentence translation
  • Checkbox for "Memorized"
  • Number of times answer was viewed

Contents of the vocabulary entry

Words you've memorized disappear from the vocabulary book tab when you check them off, so only unmemorized words will remain automatically.

The great thing is that you can view it on your smartphone and quickly learn words during your commute or other spare moments. You can also easily add words to your vocabulary book even when you're out!

Word List Tab

The other tab is the one where you can view the word list.

Here, all registered words can be seen, so you can use it for reviewing or learning how to use words through example sentences.

Word list tab

There are some words that are difficult to remember, aren't there...? It's a good idea to note down the number of times you've looked at the answer when memorizing words, so you can identify the ones you found difficult here.

Words that were difficult to remember are clearly visible.

You can also apply filters to search for words by type, such as nouns or verbs, making it very convenient.
