Spanish vocabulary with pronunciation
If you click through to the pages below, you will find lists of words providing basic Spanish vocabulary for various topics, presented both in English-Spanish and Spanish-English language pairs.
Useful! You can listen to the pronunciation (by a native speaker) of each word in the glossaries.

You should also check out the "Audio and transcripts" page for yet another large collection of basic words and useful expressions
Topics
Additional notes
These word lists are not intended to be as thorough as dictionary listings.
Their purpose is to help you learn the basics, which means you will not find each and every meaning of a particular word or expression - only the one considered most important for a beginner.
Spanish nouns have a gender and a corresponding article (either "el" or "la", or in the plural, "los" or "las"). It is worth consulting our section on basic gender rules.
There is an important supplement for the vocabulary pages in the "Word practice" menu.
It has the same topics as here but, instead of lists, an interactive tool (a bit like flashcards) will help you practice the words and keep a score for you.
So you can either start to learn the words here or go on to practice them there.
If you find mistakes, please let us know. Thank you.
