Vocabulary for DELE A1

Learning a new language begins with words. Vocabulary is the foundation on which every other skill is built: speaking, listening, reading, and writing all depend on knowing the right words and understanding how they work in real situations. For students preparing for the DELE A1 exam, vocabulary is not just helpful, but it is essential.

The DELE A1 level evaluates a learner’s ability to communicate in simple, everyday contexts. To do this successfully, candidates must recognize and use the most common words related to daily life: food, family, clothing, places, actions, colors, numbers, and more.

To support learners in building this foundation, this book includes 170 commonly used A1 words, carefully selected to match the themes required at the A1 level. Each word is accompanied by:

1) Clear audio, so learners can hear correct pronunciation and develop listening confidence. These audio files were recorded by a human and not by AI tools.

2) An English translation, ensuring immediate understanding.

3) An example sentence, showing how the word is used naturally in context.

4) A translation of the example sentence, reinforcing comprehension and helping learners connect meaning with usage.

By persistently and carefully studying the exercises and mastering these 170 words included in this book, students will gain the essential linguistic tools needed to navigate the DELE A1 exam with confidence. More importantly, they build a strong foundation for future levels of Spanish, opening the door to richer communication and deeper cultural understanding.

Without further ado, let’s get started!

1100 English-Spanish Cognates

This book is intended to explain the usage of 1100 cognates existing between English and Spanish to students of Spanish as a second language or to Spanish native speakers who want to acquire, refresh or improve their knowledge on this topic.

Through my experience, I was able to identify a practical and an efficient way to learn vocabulary in both languages by using these words which are homonyms, homophones or have some similarity.

For each of the 1100 words, its definition, and examples are included in the two languages. That means, there will be 1100 examples in Spanish with their 1100 counterparts in English to clearly learn how to properly use them in a variety of contexts in several fields.

In addition, and as a bonus, there will be the option to get access to the audio pronunciations of each of the 1100 words from our website. This is a magnificent opportunity to master these terms, their meanings as well as their practical and varied examples.

With that being said, let’s get started!

All Spanish Prepositions

This book is intended to explain how to use the 23 prepositions existing in the Spanish language to students of Spanish as a second language or to Spanish native speakers who want to acquire, refresh or improve their knowledge on this topic.

Studying prepositions in any language is one of the hardest tasks because there are several rules to follow as well as some exceptions.

The various rule categories are explained for each preposition along with numerous examples. These examples cover different contexts to give the reader multiple usage options of the language throughout the 427 examples in Spanish which are translated into English.

By reading this book and analyzing the examples, the usage of prepositions in Spanish will eventually become a second nature to you.
