Why a custom quiz beats a generic one

A beginner vocabulary quiz works best when it tests the words you are learning this week, not a random list pulled from the internet. Most ready-made quizzes cover words in the wrong order or at the wrong level, so beginners end up guessing.

  • Test meaning both ways: target word to English and English to target word.
  • Include a few true/false items on gender, plurals or common false friends.
  • Keep each quiz to one lesson so review stays short and manageable.
  • Re-run the quiz after a day or two to check what you still remember.
Example beginner Spanish vocabulary questions
What does 'la biblioteca' mean in English?The library. Biblioteca is a feminine noun, so it takes the article la.
Which word means 'water': agua or aguja?Agua. Aguja means needle, a common false friend that beginners mix up.
True or false: 'el día' is a masculine noun.True. Día is masculine, so it takes el even though it ends in -a.
How do you say 'thank you' in Spanish?Gracias. It is the everyday form, and adding muchas makes it more emphatic.
What is the Spanish word for 'red' in 'la casa roja'?Roja. Adjectives change their ending to match a feminine noun like casa.

Frequently asked questions

How many vocabulary words should a beginner quiz cover?

Start with 10 to 20 words from a single lesson, since small sets are easier to review daily. Add new words once the earlier ones feel automatic.

How should beginners study new vocabulary?

Review words in short daily sessions and try to recall the meaning before you check the answer. Spaced repetition in flashcards helps words stay in memory over time.

Can I export the quiz to my school's learning platform?

Yes, the Plus plan exports to PDF and DOCX, and the Pro plan adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for import into learning platforms.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
