The following pages contain word lists providing basic Spanish vocabulary in several topics, presented both in English-Spanish and Spanish-English form.
These word lists are not intended to be as thorough as dictionary listings. They are there to help learning the basics, which means you will not find each and every meaning of a given word or expression - only those considered most important for a beginner.
Spanish nouns have a gender and a corresponding article (either "el" or "la", or in plural, "los" or "las"). It is worth consulting basic gender rules.
There is an important supplement for the vocabulary pages in the "Word practice" menu, where you will find the same topics as here, but instead of word lists, an interactive tool (a bit like a flashcard) will help you practice the words and keep a score for you. So you can either start to learn the words here or practice them there.
If you find mistakes or inaccuracies, please tell us. Thank you.
(Also check out the "Audio and transcripts" page for yet another large collection of basic words and useful expressions.)
