About this app

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. MAKE IT YOURS Pick an app icon that matches your mood.
