To do this, you can use Evernote by organizing new words, definitions, and adding pictures. Google Keep allows you to quickly take notes, add colorful labels, and set reminders to review your vocabulary. Trello offers a visual way to organize words with cards that include definitions and images. All three apps are free, easy to use, and accessible across multiple devices, making them perfect for building and organizing your personalized vocabulary journal.
