Why a custom deck beats a generic top 1000 list

Most ready-made lists cover common words, but the vocabulary you need depends on your course, your textbook and the conversations you want to have. Generating an Anki deck of the top 1000 Spanish words from your own material keeps the list relevant to what you are actually studying.

  • Keep the deck tied to your own course vocabulary instead of a generic frequency list.
  • Add a sample sentence to tricky words so you learn how they are used, not only what they mean.
  • Review a small set of new words each day and let spaced repetition schedule the rest.
  • Track which verbs and irregular forms keep returning, and make separate cards for their conjugations.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX, plain notes or a photo of a vocabulary page, and get flashcards drawn from the words in it.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back on a schedule that shifts with how well you recall them, so easy words appear less often and hard ones more often.

Anki export on paid plans

Plus users can export to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV, so your deck can move into the app you already use.

How it works

Upload your word list

Add a PDF, DOCX, slides, notes or a photo of a vocabulary page. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the Spanish terms and English meanings, then start studying in the browser on the free plan.

Export to Anki when you need to

On Plus or Pro, export the deck to Anki and keep reviewing with the same schedule on your phone or computer.

Flashcards work best in small daily batches. Ten to twenty new words a day is easier to sustain than cramming hundreds at once, and spaced repetition handles the reviews so older words do not quietly slip away. Pair the cards with short sentences so each word has a context, not just a translation.

Frequently asked questions

How many new Spanish words should I learn each day?

A small daily batch, such as ten to twenty new words, is easier to keep up than trying to learn hundreds at once. Consistency matters more than volume, because reviews build on each other.

Will memorizing the top 1000 Spanish words make me conversational?

A core vocabulary covers a lot of everyday speech, but you still need grammar, verb conjugations and listening practice to hold a real conversation. Use the deck as one part of your routine.
