Just three of your best choices por favor. Favorites don't always tell you which are the best. It could be a new set. These three are my choices.

I'm not sure if anyone would be interested but here's a set that I'm making (I try to add about 5 new words a day). It's based on words I did not know before reading the Spanish translation of Harry Potter

http://headmagnet.com/lists/84216

It's completely in Spanish so it should be good for an intermediate to advanced learner of that language.
You need an account with Headmagnet in order to get the most use out of the flashcards there; if you want to use them feel free to copy them if you are not a member or just want to change the format a bit smile (if you don't mind a lot of copying and pasting that is tongue wink )

I had some fun doing the sets by bcoghlin28 (not that I have yet done the last few)- he has 20 standard vocabulary ones at 100 words each (so 2000 words), not always my first translations of the words, but I think all the audios work and the I think all the verb infinitives had "to" in front of the English so you do not have to guess whether it is a verb or not. I found them a bit of a challenge just doing the recognize and listen parts. I believe nouns all had articles and adjectives were all in the masculine form as well.

By the way, I think you added a few words to each of your "tricky" sets after I did them. - Stadt, Dec 12, 2011
Good choice! - swampy, Dec 12, 2011
Thanks, Stadt, these are just what I'm looking for!! - territurtle, Dec 13, 2011
I just reviewed bcoghlin28's first set, and found two typos in Spanish - cuadrito and desarrollar. - pesta, Dec 13, 2011
I know on the preterite there was trajemos instead of trajimos; still they are more acurate and usable than many out there. - Stadt, Dec 13, 2011

Here's my favorites (more shameless self-promotion):

Collective Nouns

Gender changes are words that come in both genders but mean different things:

Gender Changers (1)

Gender Changers (2)

Pesta -- you're the "besta!!" [non-native speakers: "besta" is not a word] - territurtle, Dec 13, 2011

Any set created by Marianne. I have not found any frustrating mistakes.

Sometimes, as with most sets, some of the nouns carry the definite article, and some don't. Which means you have to remember which ones are an exception when doing the "Recall." But her sets contain far less of these "little irritations" than almost all the other sets I've done.

Although, I have to admit, I haven't done that many sets. Best to ask Swampy or one of the other users who have done a lot of flashcards.

And feel free to add some of you own! grin

Yeah, but the flashcards are good. - territurtle, Dec 11, 2011
very nice - on the first one there's a typo - rasista should be racista :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 11, 2011
Hope you don't mind if I make a couple of suggestions I'm afraid typo's seem to jump out at me - atTractive - double t, for comprensivo I'd put the English as 'understanding' (and remove the comprehensive) - empático for empathetic (+ a few double-ups) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 11, 2011
thanks kiwi! I was hoping someonw would help me - rabbitwho, Dec 11, 2011

I use a site http://zachary-jones.com/spanish/vocabulary.

It has the standard vocabulary for a high school studen and in a separate section the 1400 most common words in Spanish. It uses various games such as Concentration, Word Search, Matching and it also has flashcards, but not of the same kind as in Spanishdict.com.
