Word of the Day
Are you familiar with our Word of the Day feature? If not, take some time to check out the recent Words of the Day. Learning one new word each day is a fantastic way to practice Spanish poco a poco(little by little)!
You can compile each month’s Words of the Day in a poster or flash cards to practice them, or you could create a Vocabulary list to practice the words.
Vocabulary Lists
Looking for a way to improve your vocabulary retention or spelling in Spanish? Our Vocabulary section is ideal! There are two ways to help you practice Spanish using our vocabulary section:
- Using our Featured Vocabulary Lists
- By creating your own lists
Do you need help creating a vocabulary list? Check out these Help articles!
Note that you can toggle between fill-in-the-blanks answers and multiple-choice answers by using the button in the top-right corner of the screen. This button looks like either an Aa or four squares, depending on the current type of answer you see.
Vocabulary lists are an excellent way to prepare for upcoming exams. When you’re just starting out with a vocabulary list, using the multiple-choice option is great—it allows you to get familiar with the terms and how they’re spelled.
Once you’re more confident with the terms, then it’s time to switch to the fill-in-the-blanks answers! This teaches you how to spell each term properly, which is important on exam day.

Clear-Cut Conjugations
Do you have trouble with Spanish grammar and verb conjugations? Never fear, we’ve got a section for that here! You have two different options to help you with conjugations: general lessons about each tense and conjugation drills. Let’s take a look at each resource.
Lessons to Master Each Tense
If you’re looking for general lessons about each tense, check out our tense lessons! Each tense has both an article explaining the tense and a series of interactive lessons that help you practice. Looking for a specific tense? Here’s the master list!
Conjugation Drills
If you’re looking to study a specific list of verbs, be sure to check out our Conjugation Drills section. You can personalize the drills to the max by choosing the tense to practice, the categories (-ar? -er? Irregular?), the pronouns (Do you want to include vosotros[you, informal, Spain]?), the verbs, and how many questions you want to answer.
Primo Personalization Tip
Do you want to study a specific set of verbs? Create your own vocabulary list by clicking + Add New List. You can then use the verbs from that list in your own conjugation drill! Be sure to click the drop-down menu under Verbs on the Drill page, and look for your custom-made vocabulary list!
Whichever resources you decide to use, there’s one tip we haven’t addressed yet: consistency is key. A little bit of Spanish every day goes a long way!
