A Complete Guide to MyWords Settings

To open the Settings screen in MyWords, follow 2 quick steps:

1. Switch to the Profile tab on the bottom navigation bar.
2. Tap Settings (or the gear icon in the top right corner).

💡 Tip: A new installation comes pre-configured with balanced settings for a light daily habit. You only need to adjust settings when you want to customize themes, reminder schedules, or reading speed.

Here is a comprehensive breakdown of every section in MyWords Settings.

1. Language & Theme (Menus, Word Definitions & Dark Mode)

MyWords separates language options into two distinct settings for optimal learning:

App Language

• Function: Changes the language used for UI menus, buttons, and labels.
• Options: System (matches phone language), English, Tiếng Việt, 日本語 (Japanese), 한국어 (Korean), or 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese).

Your Language

• Function: The language MyWords uses to explain English word definitions, example sentences, and grammar.
• Default: Tiếng Việt. You can switch to Japanese, Simplified Chinese, or Korean.
• Note: English is not listed because English is the language you are learning.

Theme Mode

• Default: System (automatically switches between Light and Dark mode based on your phone settings).
• Fixed Options: Select Light or Dark to keep the theme fixed.

2. Learning & Review Settings (Learning Settings)

Tap Learning Settings to customize your study volume and Spaced Repetition parameters.

Audio & Pronunciation

• Sound Effects & Auto pronounce: Enabled (On) by default. Turn them off if studying in a quiet environment.
• English Accent: Choose between US (American English) or UK (British English). Defaults to US.

Learning Goal

Number of new words to learn each day:

• Easy: 5 words/day (Default).
• Medium: 10 words/day.
• Hard: 20 words/day.

(Tap confirm after making your selection).

Memory Level

Adjusts review frequency based on Spaced Repetition algorithms to match your memory retention:

Memory Level	Description	Ideal For
Poor	Shorter intervals, more frequent reviews	Beginners or fast-forgetting learners
Average (Default)	Balanced, optimal review schedule	Most learners
Good	Longer intervals, faster path to mastery	Learners who retain words quickly

ℹ️ The app displays a timeline preview of the review schedule before you confirm your choice.

Daily Review Limit

• Purpose: Sets a ceiling on review cards per day to prevent overwhelm after busy days.
• Default: 30 words/day.
• Options: 10, 20, 30, 50, 80, 100, 300, or 1000 words.

Dictionary & Lesson Options

• Dictionary for Quizzes and Games: Select the active dictionary database for quizzes and games.
• Lesson Steps: Customize learning steps for each word card.
  • Pronunciation: Enabled (On) by default to encourage correct speaking.
  • Translate sentence, Dictation, and Writing sentence: Disabled (Off) by default. Turn them on for extra practice.

3. Notifications & Study Schedule (Notifications)

The Notification section keeps your daily learning streak going. All 3 reminder options start On by default. Tap the time row below any switch to change its time.

1. Study Reminder: Daily notification sent once a day, defaulting to 20:00.
2. Vocabulary to Learn: Spreads reminders throughout the day between 06:00 and 21:00, repeating every 2 hours.
3. Learning Goal Switch: Reminds you to complete your daily goal (separate from picking 5, 10, or 20 words). Operates between 19:00 and 20:00, repeating every 1 hour.

⚠️ Time Setting Rules:

• Start time must be before end time.
• Repeat every interval must be longer than 1 hour.
• If rules are violated, MyWords displays an error and discards changes.

🛠️ Not Getting Notifications? If reminders are enabled but notifications stay silent, your phone is blocking MyWords. Toggling a switch on automatically prompts system settings where you can grant notification permissions.
