Build the Foundation First

This shorter 50-card deck helps refresh core verb tenses through conjugations and simple examples before moving into full sentence translations. As the first deck in the Foundations track, it introduces a core set of approximately 65 high-frequency verbs and shared vocabulary used throughout the course. The emphasis is repetition and form accuracy, creating a stable foundation before moving into more expressive and practical language use.

This deck marks the beginning of the core speaking pathway, shifting from conjugation practice to short, translated sentences designed for daily speaking practice. Learners translate concise English prompts into Spanish using the same high-frequency verbs, building fluency through repetition and variation. All sentences represent example translations, reinforcing the idea that there are often multiple valid ways to express the same idea in Spanish.

This deck introduces direct and indirect object pronouns early and deliberately, recognizing that pronoun placement and usage differ significantly from English. It begins with single pronouns and gradually incorporates double-pronoun constructions, using manageable sentence lengths and consistent repetition. The goal is to establish early comfort and accuracy so pronouns can be used naturally throughout all subsequent decks.

This shorter 50-card deck focuses on building accuracy with Spanish past tense conjugations before sentence-level application. Learners work with both imperfect and preterite forms, which represent two distinct ways of describing past events, with all practice clearly labeled by tense. While mechanical by design, this work is essential for understanding how past actions are framed before applying them in narrative and contextual usage.

This deck focuses on the preterite tense through short and medium-length sentences that reinforce how Spanish expresses completed past actions. Most of the deck stays strictly in the preterite, while a smaller portion naturally incorporates previously learned material. The emphasis is on clarity, sequencing, and confidence when describing finished events in everyday speech.

This deck is structured in two phases. The first half uses the imperfect tense exclusively to establish comfort with background actions, habitual behavior, and ongoing past states. The second half gradually mixes imperfect with preterite and present tense, reinforcing how these forms interact in real narration and storytelling.

This deck introduces the progressive (“estar + gerund”) and near-future (“ir a + infinitive”) constructions, then integrates them into previously learned tense structures. Early sentences focus on these forms in isolation, while later sentences naturally combine present, past, and future expressions. The goal is to build fluency in expressing intent, ongoing action, and planned events under realistic speaking conditions.

This deck presents the future and conditional tenses as a connected system for talking about plans, predictions, and hypothetical situations. Early sections focus on each tense individually, while later sentences intentionally mix them with previously learned tenses. The emphasis is on natural spoken usage rather than rule memorization, helping learners move comfortably between certainty, possibility, and speculation.

This deck introduces the present perfect using “haber + past participle” to express experiences and completed actions with present relevance. It also reinforces the existential use of “hay,” helping learners distinguish between existence and completed action. Sentences reflect natural spoken patterns and emphasize meaning over literal tense translation.

This deck focuses on the past perfect (“había + past participle”) to describe actions that occurred before another past event, strengthening learners’ ability to express sequence and backstory. It also incorporates the past existential forms “había” and “hubo” to clarify the difference between background conditions and completed events. The emphasis is on timeline awareness and clear communication when describing layered past situations.
