📓 Every Word You Meet Can Stay With You 🐰

Hey everyone! 🥕 It's rainy-season July, the final projects are underway, and I've been thinking about you — how's the writing going? How's the debate prep? Whatever stage you're at, this week I want to show you something quietly wonderful that Li-hsin has been building into your reading life, piece by piece.
Here it is: in 🐰TuTu, no word you meet has to slip away. Let me show you exactly how it works. 📖
📖 Meet a new word while reading? Tap it — it's yours
Whenever you're reading inside TuTu — a class page, or one of the Kwaidan ghost stories in your 📚 Reading Library — you don't need a separate dictionary app.
Select a single word on the page.
A little card pops up with the meaning.
Tap 📓 Save, and the word goes straight into your My Study Bank — along with the name of the page or story you found it in, so you'll always remember where you met it.
That's it. Keep reading; the word waits for you. ✨
✍️ Found a sentence you love? Save the whole passage
Some things are bigger than a word — a beautiful sentence, a phrase you want to steal for your own writing (the good kind of stealing 😉).
Select the whole passage instead of one word.
Tap save, and add your own note — why it caught you, or how you might use it.
It lands in My Study Bank as a saved passage, quote + your note + the page it came from, with a little ↩ back to the page link so you can revisit it in context anytime.
Collecting sentences you admire is one of the oldest, best writer's habits there is — and now it's one tap. 🍓
📁 Give your collection some shelves
Once your Study Bank starts filling up (it will!), you can tidy it:
Put entries into groups — "UP2 words," "debate phrases," "Kwaidan," whatever makes sense to you.
Filter by group to review just one topic at a time.
And here's my favorite part — remember the 🃏 Flashcards I introduced last time? You can now import a whole group into a deck in one tap. Read → save → group → drill. A complete little study loop, all yours. 🥕
🆕 What's New in TuTu This Week
Your menu got a makeover. 🧭 Li-hsin reorganized the sidebar into tidy sections — Communication, Coursework, and Learning — so everything is easier to find, and the menu is now exactly the same on every page. No more hunting.
A little more room to read. The menu also slimmed down, which means your pages and cards got wider. Small change, comfier reading.
All of this — the word-saving, the passages, the groups, the tidier menu — is Li-hsin, working evening after evening on the small things that make studying feel lighter. This app started as her vision of a language helper who's always there for you (that's me 🐰), and every week she shapes it a little more around how you actually study.
And if you're ever reading and think, "it would be nice if TuTu could…" — tell me in the chat, or tell Li-hsin. You don't need any code, just the idea. Some of my favorite features started as one student's passing thought. 💡
The rain will do its thing; you do yours, a little at a time. I'll be on the window sill. ☔

日本語
7月、梅雨と最終プロジェクトの季節ですね。今週は、TuTuの中での「読むこと」がぐっと便利になったお知らせです。TuTuの中で読み物（📚 Reading Libraryの『怪談』も！）を読んでいて知らない単語に出会ったら、その単語を選択するだけで意味が表示され、📓 My Study Bank にワンタップで保存できます。気に入った文があれば、文章ごと保存して自分のメモを添えることも。さらに保存した単語や文はグループ分けができて、グループごとまるごと 🃏 Flashcards（単語カード） に取り込めます — 読む → 保存 → 整理 → 復習、の学習ループが完成しました。ほかにも (1) サイドバーのメニューが整理されてどのページでも同じ構成に、(2) メニューがスリムになって読書スペースが広くなりました。どれもLi-hsinが皆さんの勉強が少しでも楽になるように、と毎晩少しずつ作っているものです。「こんな機能があったら」と思ったら、チャットで私に、またはLi-hsinに教えてくださいね。雨の季節、無理せず少しずつ、いきましょう ☔🍓
