Before we dig in, here are some of the best methods you can rely on to memorize new beginner Spanish words.

How to Memorize Spanish Words
‍

Learn the Alphabet

Let's start with the very basics here. The beginner Spanish words in this list are an excellent way to begin your beginner Spanish vocabulary, but first you need to be familiar with the Spanish alphabet. 

The best advice we can give you is to learn it as quickly as possible. It will make writing beginner Spanish words much easier later on.

You can use our Spanish alphabet pronunciation guide to get started with that.

‍

Leverage Repetition Using Flashcards

Memorizing beginner Spanish words with flashcards is one of the best beginner Spanish language learning methods there is.

The process is simple:

Look over your beginner Spanish word list (you can copy the list we have created below and make it yours). Choose 20 -30 beginner Spanish words that are easy for you to remember, and write them on a separate sheet of paper. Cut up the pieces of paper, and put them into a word-chained stack.

Flip the first beginner Spanish word card to review. If you can't remember it, take a guess (or use English as your guide), flip the card again, and move on. Repeat this process until you've successfully memorized all beginner Spanish words.

You can even make beginner Spanish word flashcards on your phone with free beginner Spanish apps. Anki remains to be our favorite for digital flashcards.

‍

Find a Native Spanish Speaking Partner

If you are motivated to learn beginner Spanish, chances are you will be open to practicing beginner Spanish words with a native speaking friend.

If you don't have a beginner Spanish speaking partner in your area, there are beginner Spanish language learning websites and apps you can join to connect with beginner Spanish speakers all over the world. 

The app that has worked best for most learners we have connected with is HelloTalk. There you can find Spanish speakers for your target dialect that are willing to learn YOUR native language while teaching you theirs.

Feel like you are not ready for a person-to-person interaction in Spanish yet?

Jumpspeak might be the perfect beginner Spanish language learning tool for you. 

‍

Take private Spanish lessons

If you want to save all the guesswork, just like with anything, you can just hire an expert. Studying beginner Spanish words with an expert is a great way to begin. 

If you can't find beginner Spanish classes near you, you can opt for private online language lessons on top elearning platforms such as Rype.

The biggest advantage of learning with a one-on-one Spanish tutor is that you target your weaknesses from the very early stages. This way, your growth with Spanish learning is much smoother, and you end up progressing flawlessly through the different levels of the language.
