Hello, future Spanish speaker!
Has it ever happened to you that when you think about learning Spanish vocabulary, you imagine yourself sitting in front of an endless list of words that just won’t stick? I know… that image isn’t motivating at all.
But I have good news for you!
At WorldsAcross we use an easy method for learning Spanish that’s not only effective, but also super fun. The key? A game called Spot it.
With it, our students gain vocabulary quickly, almost without realizing it. The best part? Fun is included!
From game to learning: this is how Spot it works
Spot it is a very visual card game. Each card has drawings related to a theme: beach, animals, everyday objects, you name it! There’s always one image that repeats between two cards. The challenge is to find it and shout its name… before anyone else!
In our classes, when someone spots the match, they have to say its name in Spanish. So, while you play, you start learning Spanish vocabulary naturally, without pressure. And since it all happens in a relaxed setting, your brain associates these new words with a positive experience. This boosts retention, even without you realizing it.
For example, in a game with a food theme, you might learn words like fresa (strawberry), pan (bread), queso (cheese), or helado (ice cream) while laughing with your classmates. No effort, no stress—just fun!
Visual, auditory, and fun: this is how vocabulary sticks in your memory
Beyond being entertaining, this game has several ingredients that make it special:
-
Visual: You associate images with words, which strengthens visual memory.
-
Auditory: You listen and repeat out loud, which improves pronunciation.
-
Emotional: By laughing and having fun, you connect better with the language.
-
Thematic: You can work on different topics: animals, travel, colors, clothing, etc.
This combination activates different areas of the brain, making the words stay with you effortlessly. And yes, it’s an easy method for learning Spanish that really works.
It also stimulates mental agility, something that helps build fluency in the long term. Since you have to think and react fast, your mind starts processing the language more quickly.
Your home + cards + willingness = new vocabulary every day
One of the great advantages of this method is that you don’t need to be in class to practice. You can play Spot it with friends or family from the comfort of your home. There are digital versions, but you can also create your own cards with the vocabulary you want to reinforce.
You just need:
-
Some cards with drawings
-
A couple of friends or family members
-
The desire to laugh and learn
Plus, you can adapt the game to your level. If you already have a base, you could add challenges like saying a sentence with the word you found, using a verb in the present tense, or even inventing a mini story.
So if you were wondering whether it’s possible to learn Spanish vocabulary in a fun way, from the comfort of your home, and without memorizing endless word lists—you have your answer!
