Wenlin vocab lists?

[fenlan]

I think Wenlin is great for reading texts. But how can I save a list of the vocab I want? I don't want to set up flashcards for characters only, but to save a list of the 2 syllable words I have learned. Any tips?

I copy and paste the words I look up into a separate vocabulary text file. Everytime I do an extended reading session, I open up the vocabulary file along with the reading material.

You can also make the list of those words with readings and meanings. The "Hand" button in Wenlin can be used for that purpose. You need to select hand and then highlight the word with your mouse. It will open a dictionary if it finds the words or allow you to create new entries.

Yeah, just have a text file open (Microsoft Word or the like) along with Wenlin. When reading the text, when you come across a word you don't know, highlight it using the hand tool and the pinyin/dictionary definition will pop up in a window. Then switch to the "I" tool, highlight the characters/pinyin/sample sentence/entry, and paste it into the blank text document outside of Wenlin. Do this for every entry and you will have a vocab list.

I like to read in Wenlin and then post vocab into ZDT. I find that ZDT handle multi character lists much more effectively but the definitions in Wenlin are much better.

Well, wouldn't Anki be very helpful for what you're doing?

Anki is also very good. I finding myself using ZDT for some things and ANKI for others. I like the ZDT card test where you choose from four definitions. I find it helps build recognition. But there are some things that ANKI can do, particularly with adding additional inputs. Have been testing ANKI for review sentence structures.
