Essential English Vocabulary for Spanish Speakers

Each quiz matches an English word or phrase to its Spanish meaning, covering the situations you meet first. You will work through greetings like Good morning and questions like How much is it?, then branch into colors, numbers, household items, jobs, school words, and directions, building a real foundation one small set at a time.

The sets reach into describing people, telling time, shopping, and entertainment too, so you can talk about far more than the basics. Because the words are so common, the practice carries straight into real life, whether you are asking for help or simply saying hello.

English Vocabulary with Audio Pronunciation

Reading a phrase is one thing; saying it with confidence is another. Every quiz includes audio of the English, so you can hear exactly how each word should sound and repeat it until it feels natural in your own mouth.

Where English and Spanish Quietly Differ

English leans on one verb, "play," for both instruments and games, while Spanish splits them into tocar (to play an instrument) and jugar (to play a game). On the page there is a visible gap too, since Spanish opens a question with an upside-down mark, ¿, that English never uses.

The sets lean toward the polite, formal way of speaking, which is the safe choice when you are meeting someone for the first time. Because the words cover travel, shopping, school, and the home, the practice carries straight into the situations you actually run into, whether you are asking for help or simply saying hello.

Those small differences are part of what makes the jump between the two languages fun. Start with the everyday phrases in these interactive English quizzes and speak from day one.
