Spanish school & study vocabulary
Essential Spanish vocabulary for school & study — 60 words with English translations, audio playback and a flashcard quiz.

This guide turns a SPEAKZY lesson topic into a focused vocabulary article. The words are grouped for quick study, with English meanings, pronunciation hints where available, tap-to-hear audio, flashcards and a short quiz. Use the first key words as your warm-up, then work through the full list in chunks. Say each word out loud before checking the translation. If a word is useful for travel, family, food, work or daily conversation, save it mentally as a phrase starter rather than an isolated word. When you finish, jump into the related SPEAKZY course topic. The app uses the same vocabulary inside structured lessons, sentence practice and review, so the article becomes a natural bridge from browsing to proper speaking practice.
