This CEFR-aligned A2 list hands you around 800 practical Spanish words you’re likely to meet on the test and in everyday chats, not the dusty relics from a textbook appendix.
Every entry gives you a straightforward meaning and a natural example sentence, so you can see how the word behaves in the wild – not just a translation you’ll forget by tomorrow. You also get audio playback for each word, because your ears need practice just as much as your eyes.
