Are you studying Spanish? Then you better listen up! Literally. Learning to hear a foreign language is hard, especially if your best option is to just “listen a lot” and hope for the best. That’s why our team of phonology professionals built this deck — to help you learn to hear and understand how Spanish actually sounds. Now you don’t need to hope for the best, you can have the best.

You could! But the whole point of this deck is that it’s not a resource that is very common. Sourcing all the recordings and knowing what to include would be a lot of work! You’re welcome to give it a shot, however. It’d probably be great practice, but not a very efficient use of time.
No, but it will put you on the path to sounding how you want and not being stuck with an accent you don’t like. Learning a new accent takes hundreds of hours of practice. But it’s MUCH easier if you can properly hear the sounds of the language.
Nothing like this! There are some similar resources out there (all of which are paid), but none of them are comprehension-focused, which is what you really need for mastering the sounds of a new language.
Awesome job! Keep doing your reviews as they come up so that these sounds stay fresh in your mind.
Make sure you’re also immersing in Spanish *a lot*. You’ll need to hear these sounds thousands of times in the real world before they become burned into your brain forever.

Two members of the Refold team made it! Don, a seasoned linguistics professor with over 15 years of experience teaching classes on IPA, and Ben, an avid Spanish learner and English accent coach deeply immersed in the intricacies of phonology for nearly a decade, put their minds together to come up with this one of a kind Anki deck. The Refold team has somehow attracted a bunch of language nerds. Who knew!?
