Spanish 1K Deck Release! (Patreon)

We are VERY EXCITED to announce the release of our Spanish 1K deck.

This deck is the most optimized Spanish starter deck ever created and should help new learners achieve basic comprehension in Spanish in just 2-3 months.

Most Spanish decks on Anki web brag about the number of cards they contain, but that's not important to us. Our goal is to level up your comprehension as fast as possible so you can start learning directly from your immersion.

Deck Design

This deck is optimized for English natives. English and Spanish share thousands of words. These words are called "cognates". There's no point in studying cognates with Anki. English speakers can easily learn cognates through immersion.

This deck also distills each word family down to a single example. If you learn the word "aburrido", you should be able to recognize and understand "aburrir", "aburrimiento", and "aburridón". As long as you are actively immersing, you'll be able to extrapolate the single example into all its adjacent derivations.

Although this is a 1000 card deck, the example sentences contain additional words. There are approximately 1600 unique word families used. The example sentences liberally use cognates and words that we think are easy to learn directly from immersion. The sentences are also sorted so that they use words previously in the deck.

This deck is also designed for recognition. If a word conjugates to irregular forms, we have provided a list of these forms so you can recognize the word in your immersion.

Deck Components

Each card contains:

• Front: vocab word, native word audio
• Back: word, definition, irregular forms, example sentence, native sentence audio, sentence translation
