Read the news in Malay with Lattuce Lingo
Import Malay news into Lattuce Lingo, tap vocabulary while you read, and review words on lingo.lattuce.app.
A Malay news article is already a lesson — if you can get it into a reader that remembers the words. Lattuce Lingo (lingo.lattuce.app) turns a URL or a pasted passage into study text: you read, tap vocabulary, and open Review when cards come due.
This is Learner, not exam prep from course PDFs. For that split, see Study vs Learner. For bilingual households that write in English and read Malay sources, start with bilingual reading.
Who this is for
| You | Goal |
|---|---|
| Malaysian student or researcher | Read Berita or rencana without losing every new word |
| Bilingual household | Parents write in English; someone in the house is learning Malay |
| Independent learner | Daily news instead of a textbook chapter |
Use texts you are allowed to read. Lingo pulls the article for study — it does not replace the publisher’s site or a news subscription.
Before you start
| You need | Notes |
|---|---|
| Lingo access | lingo.lattuce.app or Learn on lattuce.app |
| A Malay article | A public URL, or the text pasted from a page you can access |
| A few minutes after reading | Review is where the words stick |
Vocabulary tools unlock for a language you are learning. Malay news is the usual foreign-language path here. English leisure reading can open in read-only mode when English is already your native language.
Import the article
Pick one path. Both land in the same reader.
Path A — news URL
- Open Learn → Import → URL.
- Paste the article link.
- Confirm Malay as the language when asked.
- Open the lesson when import finishes.
Lingo keeps the readable text. Use this for ordinary web articles, not for a whole book file — books still go through file upload (import guide).
Path B — paste
- Open Learn → Import → Paste text.
- Paste a passage you copied from a page you can access.
- Set the language to Malay.
- Open the new lesson.
Paste is the right move for a clipped paragraph, a newsletter excerpt, or a page that does not import cleanly from the URL.
Tap vocabulary while you read
- Open the lesson in Read.
- Tap or click a word you do not know.
- Save it to Vocabulary. On the keyboard, 1 / 2 / 3 set Strand, Link, or Lattice.
| You want… | Mark it |
|---|---|
| First encounter | Strand |
| Almost known — needs another context | Link |
| You read it without stopping | Lattice |
That three-tier map is the same model as Strands, Links, and Lattice. Honest labels beat a long list of “known” words you still trip over in the next headline.
Optional Auto-save links (reading preferences) turns a lookup into a Link so you can keep scrolling.
Review after the article
Saving a word is not the end of the session.
- Open Review from the Learn menu when cards are due.
- Recall the meaning, or fill the blank if the card is a cloze.
- Mark the card honestly. The next date follows your answer.
A short news piece is a good daily unit: one article, a handful of taps, then Review the next morning. For how spacing works, see spaced repetition in Learner.
A simple Malay-news habit
- Import today’s article (URL or paste).
- Read once for sense; tap only the words that blocked you.
- Review due cards — including words from yesterday’s piece.
- Optional: send a Writer paragraph to Learn later (Writer to Learner) if the news ties to a paper you are drafting.
Learner holds your word list. Collaborative manuscript translation stays in Writer’s translation tools — they sit next to each other, they do not replace each other.
