Thank you very much! I really appreciate the work you took into this dictionary. In summer this year, I am doing my C-level exams in English, so you made my learning a lot easier. Greeting from Germany by the way!!! :)
when inputting the language database only the translation appears in the wordbank and i have to input the rest manually, how did you make it all appear in the same folder in the wordbank??
Thankyou so much for the tutorial! It's given me a big headstart on building my personal dictionary. However, what do you suggest for words with multiple meanings? For example, I've got '上げる' 'to raise' (as in 'lift up') and '養う' 'to raise' (as in 'to bring up', or 'provide for'). Do you differentiate these in your native word bank or leave them to be considered synonyms?
I love notion.. and I love your template.. but for one thing is there anyway you can help me figure out how to do russian "noun conjugations" and match it with the related adjectives so they match? Like грязная улица vs грязный город
How could I edit this to learn more English words. So I am an English speaker and looking at learning new words and extending vocabulary. Could this concept be used to include root words, morphology etc?
I think it's because of a Notion update, but I can't seem to filter the database inside the New Dictionary Entry template to only show synonyms of that same word. When creating the filter, I only seem to be able to write text inside the [Rollup Hide, any, contains:] field, and not link it to the name of the template itself :( Amazing video otherwhise, you helped me a lot!
I have the same issue! I was hoping to find the solution in the comments but as you say, maybe it’s a new update… I don’t want to just use the template, I want to build it myself because I have other features I’d like to add later. I don’t know how to "work around" this problem ☹️
I found the answer to my issue. I don’t know if it’s the same for you but I’ll explain nonetheless in case it helps. For context, I’m building this template with an iPad as a French person, so everything is in French (for example, a linked database is called a linked view on the French notion). It’s mostly fine as the icons are the same but for this problem, there was a difference. I don’t know if it’s because I’m on iPad or because it’s the French version but still, there was. I checked every property of my database and compared to Red’s database I had added to my notion (so everything got translated). I found a difference in the Translate relation property with the “linked both ways” : on my screen it was written as “show in wordbank” with a yes/no selection. It was on no on mine, but on yes on Red’s template so I changed it and re-built the synonyms template, which now works :) I hope it helps!
@@JSHyoNami Thank you for the explanation! I'm using it in English but the options have changed names too. I'll check it out later, hopefully it works :)
Oh my GOODNESS! As a linguistics student, I can already feel how TREMENDOUSLY this will help in the future. Thank you so much for your effort and everything :)
I had no idea Notion was so powerful, this is amazing! I wish I'd had this when I took Latin a few years ago. I'm about to start learning Japanese, this is going to be so handy :D
OMG I literally just started making one and you made this video! I'm trying to make a database that incorporates spaced repetition so I'm interested to see how you approach it (I commented before watching the video lol)
Awesome, just one remark when adding Verbs to the Word Bank : I add [to] at the end to get a clear distinction between Nouns (an act) and the Verb (Act). So the result is - Act & - Act[［to］. I put it at the end for a better alphabetical sorting. Hope it helps a soul out there
Just masking, do you have any idea how unbelievable amazing your content is here when its about notion? I have learnt already so much from you and now trying to learn languages, looking for a good system and yours is the best i have ever seen made by a single person! Thank your for your Video and always showing your ideas
Thanks for the template, it helped a lot. I have a question btw, I'm learning German with my mother language (Turkish) and with mostly English. I'm not learning two languages, learning one language with 2 base language. What do you suggest for these type of learners? Do you have another tempalte?
What if eventually you want to export this customizd dictonary to your own compuetr, maybe import into Microsoft Word, would that be possible? Or maybe you just use link funcitons to Notion online?? (not sure if this is available(
Is there a way to see all of a word's synonyms in a column, like in the translation example, without having to click on the word and open a new page? I've integrated this with my dictionary, which I built manually, so it would be difficult to go through all of them and click on each one individually
Thank you for sharing. I have one question regarding the search function. It seems notion sometimes can not find the words in another language (for example Swedish) when searching. How can we solve this issue? :)
amazing....but I do have a question...maybe its a very silly one. But i can not delete the word LIST or doesn't appear the inline list...why is that? if someone can help me please.....
It's a really understandable video, thanks for putting up such content out !! But I am wondering how to do a dictionary for languages like that do not have Latin alphabet like Russian, Korean, Chinese :I would love seeing another example with those types of languages. Sending a lot of support and greetings from Germany.
This is excellent and interesting. But shouldn't the gender property only be available for nouns, pronouns, and adjectives? If its a verb, gender doesn't matter. To go deeper, it seems like there should be a way to only have gender for nouns etc. I'm trying to understand how to do this. The language I want to map words in is Sanskrit, but I have a rusty background in normalizing databases. Having gender as a property of all words seems more like a table than a database... Yes, my thinking is still fuzzy (I just watched your video and made the DB you made). It also seems like more information about verbs would be useful, with a relation similar to gender.... in Sanskrit, there are athematic and thematic verbs as well as 10 classes of verb. I'm not criticizing... I'm interested in how I might be able to take your useful word list a couple steps farther in order to use it while reading Sanskrit literary texts, which uses words with a tremendous number of synonyms. Thank you for the headstart on it.
Just watching this video showed me how brilliant you are. Really inspired me to go out and do more, I only know English and sometimes I feel very smart, but there are people out here that know 3 and more languages, and for you to be able to create a database to teach yourself from is just a testament to your enginuity and has really spured me to do more and work harder. Thank you
Thank you A LOT for this video. This is gold. I've been writing my English vocabulary on a notebook, a bunch of words taken from lectures and literary texts which I couldn't use specifically in a sentence or phrase. Unfortunately, my learning on other languages are not as advanced as in English, but I hope to gather my notes on the same page.
Genius! I saw this video some time ago, but most of those things were too difficult for me to understand at that time. I've been using and learning Notion for a while and came back to this video to finally create my multilingual dictionary in Notion :D And I did
