Find a word. Give it a meaning. Keep it somewhere you can come back to. A bright, playful home for the words that stop you, in any language.
A place for words you want to remember.
Find a word. Give it a meaning. Keep it somewhere you can come back to.
You know the feeling: a word stops you mid-sentence. Apricity, the warmth of the sun on a cold day. You look it up, you smile, and five minutes later it's gone. Not anymore.
FIND A WORD
Look up any word in any language and open an entry that's a joy to read: meanings, IPA, examples, etymology, word forms and translations. Looking words up is free, in every language.
GIVE IT A MEANING
Pick the meaning you had in mind and note where you found it: a book, an article, a film, a podcast, a song, a conversation, a trip, a game, a class, or somewhere online.
KEEP IT SOMEWHERE YOU CAN COME BACK TO
Your words live in a library that's bright, bold and a little playful. Browse them by where you found them, and look back at what you've gathered in Insights. Over the years it becomes a portrait of everything you've read, heard and wondered about.
MAKE YOUR OWN COLLECTIONS
Summer in Italy. Words I love. Beautiful & strange. Group your words however you like, and each collection gets its own color.
NO HOMEWORK
No streaks, no drills, no leagues, no guilt. Parola isn't a course. It's where the words you love are kept.
EVERY LANGUAGE, THE SAME CARE
Parola's dictionary covers hundreds of languages, from English and Japanese to endangered languages with a few thousand speakers and extinct ones like Latin and Old English. Every entry gets the same care: beautiful typography, pronunciation and etymology.
Words from Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Korean and other languages are shown in their native script first, set in a typeface made for that script. Search the romanized spelling and Parola finds the word and shows it in its original writing, kanji and all.
