How to Get a Word of the Day by Email, in Any Language
There are a few ways to get a word of the day by email: a dictionary newsletter such as Merriam-Webster's, the daily word in a language app, a list of your own, or one sentence handed to MailMeWhen, which needs no account or app.
One word a day is a small habit that adds up: a few hundred words a year, learned in the inbox you open anyway. Dictionaries have offered this for decades in English; for other languages, and for your level, the choice thins out fast.
Ways to get a word of the day by email
A word of the day in one sentence
With MailMeWhen you describe the letter you want: the language, your level, and the shape — 'one useful Spanish phrase a day with an example sentence, starting simple', 'a Japanese kanji with its readings', 'a German word I'd hear at work'. That is the whole setup; the letters follow.
The first 7 days are free with no payment details. After that, $5/month for that one letter, and it stops by itself if you don't subscribe. Reply once to stop, or to change the level.
Good to know about word-of-the-day emails
Say what you'll use it for. 'Words for ordering food and getting around Italy in October' produces a better month than 'Italian words'.
Any language a letter can carry works, including the one you already speak — 'an English word I probably misuse, with the right usage' is a fine request.
Try it — hand us this sentence:
Teach me one useful Spanish phrase a day, with an example sentence and how to pronounce it. I'm a beginner.
Common questions
Which languages and levels does it work for?
Any language a letter can carry, at any level — beginner to advanced, including a language you already speak. Say the language, your level and what you'll use it for, and the letters are written to that; a real person reads the request first.
Can I get a phrase a day instead of a single word?
Yes. The sentence is the setting: ask for a phrase with an example sentence, a kanji with its readings, or a word you probably misuse with the right usage. Whatever shape you describe is the shape the letters take.
When does it arrive, and how do I change the level later?
Daily letters come at the rhythm you asked for — say 'every morning', or the time of day you prefer; the first one arrives within 24 hours of your request. To change the level, the language or the shape, reply to any letter and say so; one reply also stops it.
