Turn your Spanish notes into flashcards for common words
Printable word lists are fine for a first look, but the words that stick are the ones from your own class. DeckOwl builds flashcards from your material and schedules reviews so the common words you miss come back sooner.
Why build your own common words set
Most printable lists of Spanish common words flashcards cover the same few hundred entries, whether or not your class uses them. A card set made from your own textbook chapter or lecture slides focuses on the verbs, nouns and phrases you will actually be tested on.
- Start with high-frequency verbs such as ser, estar, tener, ir and hacer, since they appear in almost every sentence.
- Add the irregular conjugations to the back of each card so you practice forms, not just the infinitive.
- Review new words daily in short sessions rather than cramming a full list the night before a quiz.
- Mix in your own examples and phrases so the words connect to conversations you will actually have.
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a handout. The words and phrases come from what your teacher actually covers.
Spaced repetition
Cards you struggle with return more often, and easy ones are spaced further apart, so common verbs and vocabulary stay in memory.
Study in the browser
Start free with no credit card and review on any device. Paid plans add export to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of the page with the vocabulary list.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl creates term-and-meaning cards from the material. Check them and remove anything you do not need.
Review on a schedule
Study in short sessions. Spaced repetition brings back the words you miss until they are automatic.
Common words are also easier to learn in context. When a card comes from a sentence your teacher wrote, you remember the meaning and the form, such as the irregular present tense of tener or ir, instead of a bare translation.
If you already have a vocabulary list, upload it and let DeckOwl turn it into cards with spaced repetition. You can keep adding new units as the course moves on.

Frequently asked questions
Which Spanish common words should I learn first?
Begin with high-frequency verbs like ser, estar, tener, ir and hacer, along with everyday nouns, greetings and question words. These show up in most sentences, so they pay off quickly.
How many common Spanish words do I need for everyday conversation?
There is no fixed number, but a few hundred high-frequency words cover a large share of basic speech. Focus on mastering a smaller set well before adding more.
Is there a free plan for making Spanish flashcards?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. It does not include exports.
Can I export my Spanish flashcards to Anki or CSV?
Yes, but exports are a paid feature. The Plus plan at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month includes Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX export, and students get 40% off with a school email.
