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.
