How it works
Every study session mixes four kinds of practice on the same vocabulary: you read the word, hear it, type the translation, and say it out loud. Recognising a word on a card is not the same as retrieving it from memory, so The Spanish Blitz keeps asking for the harder one.
Teachers create a classroom, assign Missions from their own vocabulary sets with a deadline and an XP goal, and see who actually practised. The timed Blitz Challenge is the live, competitive round a whole class plays together.
Can you finish the sentence?
The homepage carries four quick fill-in questions on the two things English speakers get wrong most — pick the missing word and the sentence completes itself. No account, nothing saved. Here they are:
- Yo ___ de Venezuela, pero vivo en México. — soy or estoy → soy (SER → origin)
- Madrid ___ en España. — es or está → está (ESTAR → location)
- Gracias ___ tu ayuda. — por or para → por (POR → what prompts the thanks)
- Este regalo es ___ ti. — por or para → para (PARA → recipient)
Want to keep going? Try a full mini lesson — flashcards, practice and results, no account required: Practice Ser vs Estar · Practice Por vs Para. Each one adds a short explanation, four flashcards and six questions with instant feedback, then a score.
