A word looked up twice in the same week was never written down the first time. That is the usual failure in language study: notes scattered across a phone, the back of a bill, a notebook already full of something else. Nothing gets tested against what came before it.
The vocabulary pages give each word its own line: something to write, somewhere to check it against later, and no app update that resets the count. Notes pages follow for the grammar a single line cannot carry, a verb table, a rule you keep forgetting the exception to.
It will not conjugate anything for you and it does not know which language you are learning. What it holds still is the word you already looked up once, so the second time is for testing yourself, not searching again.
What is inside
- Vocabulary
- 72pp
- One line per word, so a term gets the same five seconds to test yourself before you check the page.
- Notes
- 18pp
- Plain lined pages for grammar rules and verb tables, anything a single line cannot hold.
- Reference
- 10pp
- Conversion tables computed from definitions, plus emergency numbers checked against two independent sources.
In every book
The same six pages open every book: your details, who to call, the signs to point at when you have no shared language, and the map. They sit at the front because the moment you need them is not the moment to be flicking through.
- This book belongs to
- One page for your name and number, so a book that goes missing can come back.
- My details
- Blood group, allergies, who to call. Written once, carried everywhere.
- Emergency numbers
- Forty countries, taken from Wikidata property P2852 (CC0), agreed across two sources, every row carrying its QID. Numbers change and a book does not — verify locally on arrival.
- Point at this
- A pictogram grid captioned in English above and Indonesian below, for when there is no shared language.
- World map
- Natural Earth 110m, public domain, equirectangular, with UTC hour meridians computed from the projection rather than from a timezone database. For orientation and for pointing at, not a navigation chart.
- Conversion tables
- Computed from definitions — 25.4 mm to the inch — and not copied from anywhere, so every row can be checked by anyone holding the book.
- Pen test leaf
- The last page, printed for it on purpose. Every notebook is used this way; printing it deliberately is cheaper than losing the last leaf to it by accident.

Questions
What do the vocabulary pages look like?
One ruled line per word: room for the word, what it means, and how you'd use it. Nothing more is printed on the line, so you decide the rest.
How big is it?
A5, 148 x 210 mm, 100 pages, 5.72 mm across the spine.
Is it dated?
No. Start on whichever word you looked up today.
What are the notes pages for?
Grammar, verb tables, anything a single vocabulary line cannot carry.
Does it teach the language?
No. It gives you somewhere to keep what you already looked up, so you stop looking the same word up twice.
How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.
