π How to Use the Vocabulary Quizzes
When you open a quiz page:
- Select All Words or a subset of 10 (e.g., Words 11β20) to view and study that part.
- You may use checkboxes to further limit the number of selected words you want to include in the quiz.
- Above the word table you will find these buttons (Order and Direction appear in the All Words view; Print and Flashcards work in every view and use only the words you have checked):
- All word lists and printable materials are free for personal or classroom use.
- Click the speaker π icon to hear the pronunciation (browser voice).
- Click the globe π icon to open Google Translate for the word.
- Choose a quiz mode under the Begin button: Multiple choice (pick the answer; keys 1β9 work too) or Type the answer (type the translation and press Enter; accents and capitals are ignored unless you tick Require accents, and any listed alternative such as βchofer, conductorβ is accepted).
- Click [Begin Quiz] to start testing yourself.
- The οΌ button next to a Spanish word saves it to My Flashcards; after a quiz you can add all the words you missed with one click.
Note about pronunciation: Where Mexico and Spain use different words, the quizzes use the Mexican one. Browsers rely on the voices installed on your device. The site automatically prefers a Mexican Spanish (es-MX) voice when one is installed, then a US or Latin American Spanish voice; otherwise you may hear a Spain accent. To get the best match, install a voice labeled "Mexican Spanish":
- On iPhone/iPad: Mexican Spanish is built-in (voice: "Paulina").
- On Android: You can enable Mexican Spanish in system language or Google TTS settings.
- On Windows/macOS: You may need to install a Mexican Spanish voice in your systemβs speech settings.

π― How the Quiz Works
Think of it like flashcards that fight back!
- Get a word right? π Great β itβs gone for good.
- Get it wrong? π Uh-oh β it comes back one extra time for every miss until you get it right.
- Keep missing it? Itβll keep showing up until you get it right.
- The quiz ends only when you've mastered every word β even the stubborn ones. π
