The most critical vocabulary to learn Spanish

At Refold, we’re focused on teaching you to understand real Spanish. The biggest obstacle to understanding a language is vocabulary, so we created this vocabulary deck to supersize your vocabulary knowledge.

Optimized for rapid vocabulary growth

We started with Mark Davies’ excellent 5,000-word Spanish frequency list. From this list, we removed over 3700 words that you can easily learn through immersion (i.e. words that look the same as English words or are just similar forms of words you’ve already learned). This left only the cream of the crop — the 1000 most words that are the most important to learn through dedicated vocabulary study.

When you combine the 1000 words in this deck with the 3700 words you can easily learn through immersion, you’ll know 4700 words in just 3 months! As we teach in our Teach Yourself a Language Course, this is enough words to understand and enjoy real native media content.

And that’s not all!

In addition to painstakingly analyzing the most important words that beginners need to learn, we also hired a native Spanish speaker from Mexico to create authentic example sentences with audio. This way, you can learn all of these new words in context, gaining a deeper intuitive understanding of how they are actually used in real life.

We even optimized the sentence order! Over 90% of the sentences in this vocabulary deck introduce only one new word at a time.

Learning Spanish vocabulary has never been easier than with the ES1K Vocabulary Deck.

The hardest part of learning a language is basic comprehension. Once you can understand enough to have fun, you'll never want to stop.

Preguntas frecuentes

Couldn't I build my own deck?
Yep! It just takes time, energy, and effort. The Spanish deck took our team of data scientists, high-level Spanish learners, and Spanish natives about 150 hours to create. We’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to.
Why shouldn't I use Duolingo?
If it’s your first time studying a language, then you probably should.
Duolingo is a language-learning video game. It’s a great way to try out a language to see if you like it and to build a daily habit of engaging with the language.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t get you very far, and definitely won’t help you understand Spanish.
Aren't there free decks available?
Yep! But they have a few problems:
1. They aren’t focused on helping you understand TV shows and casual conversation.
2. They haven’t filtered out the “easy words”.
3. They don’t have native audio.
4. The example sentences (if they even have any) are crowdsourced and usually low quality.

Will this make me fluent?
NO! This just builds the initial foundation for understanding Spanish. Fluency comes after thousands of hours spent with the language.
What content should I consume with the deck?
Check out our Spanish quickstart guide for content recommendations.
I finished the deck, now what?
Congrats 🥳! Head on over to our guide on sentence mining to learn how to make cards directly from your immersion.
How were the words chosen?
We started with Mark Davies’ excellent 5,000-word Spanish frequency list.

This left just the cream of the crop — the 1000 most words that are the most important to learn through dedicated vocabulary study.
Are the sentences i+1?
