Every word and sentence in our Spanish course

This is the complete vocabulary of the Second Language Spanish course, published as the game ships it. Open any word to see the sentences the game uses to teach it, with a translation, a difficulty band, and recordings you can play.

Nothing here is a sample. The page is built from the same course files the app downloads, so it changes when the course does.

250 words and 1,600 example sentences, exactly as the game teaches them.

Easy, medium, and hard are the game’s own sentence bands, not CEFR or HSK levels.

This is the published course content. The app updates its content on its own schedule, so a player may briefly see an earlier version.

23
tu

24
nombre

25
ser
to be (identity)
26
estar
to be (state/location)
NoteSpanish has two verbs for 'to be': use 'estar' for temporary states, conditions, and location ('estoy cansado', 'está en casa'), but use 'ser' for identity and permanent traits. They are not interchangeable, and choosing the wrong one is the most common beginner error.
27
tener
to have
Note'tener' means 'to have', but many states that English expresses with 'to be' use 'tener' in Spanish: 'tener hambre' (to be hungry), 'tener frío' (to be cold), and ages — 'tengo veinte años' literally means 'I have twenty years' (I am twenty).
28
hacer
to do; to make
29
ir
to go
30
venir
to come
31
querer
to want
NoteBesides 'to want', querer also means 'to love' for people you are close to — te quiero means 'I love you'.
32
gustar
to like
Note'gustar' works backwards from English. 'Me gusta el café' literally means 'coffee is pleasing to me', so the thing liked is the subject and the person is an indirect object: 'me gusta' for one thing, 'me gustan' for plural things.
33
poder
to be able to; can
34
saber
to know (facts)
Note'saber' means 'to know' (facts or how to do something), but it also means 'to taste of': 'sabe a limón' means 'it tastes of lemon'.

How the course uses these words

The game introduces words in the order shown. Each word comes with several sentences: easy ones first, then medium and hard ones that combine it with words you already know. You meet them in quests, mini-games, and conversations rather than as a list.

The intro course covers the first words. The expansion continues it inside the game with more words and easy sentences for each one.

Where the list comes from

The words are drawn from a vocabulary bank graded by CEFR level and ordered for a first course, so the most useful words for simple conversations come first. The sentences are written for the course, and each one is recorded in two voices.
