This hand-crafted deck gets you to comprehension quickly by focusing on words actually used in the real world. We started with Mark Davies' excellent 5,000-word Spanish frequency list, then cut over 3,700 words you can pick up easily on your own — cognates, derivations, and words you'll absorb naturally through immersion. What's left is the 1,000 words that will do the most work for you.
Combine this deck with immersion and you'll know 4,700 words in about 3 months — enough to start genuinely understanding and enjoying native Spanish media.
We also optimized the card order: over 90% of example sentences introduce only one new word at a time. That means each new word is learned in a sentence you can already almost fully understand, so it sticks faster.
For best results, pair this deck with immersion learning — check out our complete immersion learning guide.

If it’s your first time studying a language, then you probably should.
