500 high-frequency Spanish verbs, listed alphabetically English-Spanish - a great learning support resource for KS4 Spanish moving into advanced Spanish A Level learners, and can also be given to KS3 Spanish students, providing verb audit tool, and a language road map with learning goals, outlining the verbs they should ideally know by a specific stage in their learning.

I create a lot of language learning reference books for my languages students, they’re really popular with my students, who like to have a bank of reference resources for both initial learning and longer-term revision. There are 22 pages in the book, and all 500 verbs are listed alphabetically English-Spanish.

I use the reference book for quick vocabulary quizzes too - either I or a nominated student shouts out a Spanish or English verb, with teams giving the corresponding Spanish or English verb - I’ve found this is a really successful way of avoiding more formal vocabulary tests, while still providing students with frequent opportunity to refresh and embed essential Spanish vocabulary.

For UK teachers, these are roughly GCSE / Standard / age 16 examinations moving into advanced level, all examination boards (AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas, SQA).

We use the Notes and Next Steps template to think about progress and vocabulary knowledge. Students find this really useful, and do like to map and track their own progress. It can be helpful in guiding and informing whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really useful learning activity too - students also note down any new Spanish verbs they learn, enabling them to build a really comprehensive verb vocabulary reference resource.

The verbs are useful for engaging with the following topics and themes:

= youth, identity & lifestyle
= fashion
= culture, customs and traditions
= relationships and family
= technology and social media
= sport, health and fitness
= free time, hobbies and interests
= entertainment and leisure
= food and drink
= Spain and Spanish-speaking countries
= local, national & international global areas of interest
= transport
= holidays, tourism and travel
= environment, pollution, recycling and climate
= social issues
= school, college, current and future study
= work experience, skills and personal qualities
= employment, ambitions and career plans

¡MUCHAS GRACIAS Y BUEN APRENDIZAJE!
