by InterSub · works in Telegram

The vocabulary app that lives in your Telegram

Five minutes of vocabulary practice a day, with your own English words. The bot brings words back on schedule, shows a card for every new word and checks the sentences you write or say. Nothing to install.

Works on your phone and computer, wherever you have Telegram.

📖 serendipity — finding something good by chance

❓ Give me two or three sentences of your own with this word.

Yesterday I find a great café by pure serendipity.

👤 What to correct: find → found. With “yesterday” you need the past tense.

How vocabulary practice works

  1. Add your words.

    Connect your InterSub dictionary, upload a CSV or Excel file, paste a list, or pick a ready topic.

  2. Practice in short sessions.

    The bot messages you at the times you choose. A session takes 3–5 minutes: reviews first, then new words.

  3. Write your own examples.

    For every new word you write two or three sentences, by text or voice. The AI tutor shows what to fix and why.

InterSub dual subtitles on Crunchyroll: the English line with its translation underneath

Words from the videos you watch and the sites you read

InterSub is a Chrome extension with dual subtitles and a translator for any website. Subtitles work on YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Crunchyroll, Udemy, Coursera and other sites. Save a word while you watch or read, and it comes to the bot for practice.

The bot doesn't connect to these sites itself: it takes the words from your InterSub dictionary. More about the extension at intersub.cc.

Word card for “sunrise” in the Telegram bot: transcription, audio, meaning, where and how it is used, and examples

A card for every new word

Meanings in your language, examples in English, a phrase with a translation, the transcription and a 🔊 button to hear the word. Some words also get a short fact about the word or its origin.

AI tutor feedback in the chat: your example, what to correct (“cozily” should be “cozy”) and the corrected version

An AI tutor that checks your sentences

You see your version, what to correct and the corrected version, and then type it yourself, so the word sticks. Ask the tutor about a word or grammar at any moment, by text or voice.

Ready topics in the bot: 13 situations and Basics to choose from

Ready topics when you have no words yet

About 3,300 English words: 13 topics and a core set of 500 common words, from A1 to C2. A quick check of familiar words lets the bot start with the ones you don't know.

A spaced repetition review in the bot: “rigorous” — remember what it means? — then a word by its meaning

Reviews at the right moment

Spaced repetition brings each word back at growing intervals, so a few minutes of daily vocabulary practice is enough. Reminders come at the times you pick, never during your quiet hours.

User review

It's really handy that the bot is flexible and can even answer outside a strict script.
