How to play

Pick a way to play. Picture: a action verbs item appears with its picture and English name — tap the matching Spanish word from four options.
Emoji only drops the English label; English → Spanish drops the picture; Spanish → English asks for the meaning instead.
The listening modes play the Spanish word first: pick its English meaning, its Spanish spelling, or its picture — replay it as often as you like.
Picture grid plays each word once: find it among nine pictures, and keep tapping until you do.
The right answer turns green and is read aloud; a wrong tap also shows the correct one. Eight words per round.
