Where does this Spanish word list come from?

It is the VocaFlare Spanish catalogue. Every word was chosen for how often it is used, graded on the CEFR scale by our editors, and given an example sentence written in natural Spanish and a meaning in seven languages. Words with more than one common meaning, such as "tarde" (afternoon, late), list each meaning on their own page.

How should I study a word list?

Do not read it top to bottom repeatedly. Take 5-10 words, use each in a spoken sentence the same day, then review with spaced repetition. In VocaFlare, words you miss in conversation turn into flashcards automatically.

How do I know my level?

Take the free Spanish level test on this site; it takes 3 minutes and maps your result to the CEFR scale, so you know which list to start with.

Can I download these lists?

Yes. Every level has a Download PDF button that gives you the whole list, formatted for printing, with meanings in your language and an example sentence for each word.
