A great instant reference resource for students focusing on high-frequency Spanish adjectives. I’ve found that the lists are a great learning support resource, and they’re really popular with students too. They work well when students keep them carefully in learning files or folders for current and future reference. They also work well printed double-sided and laminated for small-group work in class.

This list is a first collection of 25 high-frequency Spanish adjectives that I’ve found are ideal for beginner Spanish into intermediate Spanish learning programmes - it’s an important step in language learning to ensure that students quickly develop a useful Spanish adjectives vocabulary bank, are able to recognize Spanish adjectives, and are confident with the meaning of those adjectives in English - at that point we can move swiftly on to looking at adjectival agreement, producing more complex and descriptive language, and using the adjectives in a communicative and practical context, which is essential for progressing in language learning.

The purpose of the list isn’t to simply learn all 25 adjectives by rote: it’s a longer-term reference resource that students use for example when they’re writing creatively, preparing written texts, or working with their talk partner to develop speaking skills. My students also use their vocabulary reference lists to help them audit their developing Spanish vocabulary in general.

There are two alphabetical lists - one Spanish-English, and one English-Spanish, as I’ve found that most language students prefer to have both as a reference resource. There are two backgrounds to choose from - Spanish flag, which I generally use for Spanish vocabulary display, and plain.

The list is a great time-saver for teachers too - if you’re preparing resources focusing on adjectives in Spanish for your students, the list is a good starting point.

My students find this Spanish verbs recall worksheets freebie really helpful:

SPANISH VERBS CARDS & RECALL WORKBOOKS MINI-BUNDLE

**KS3 SPANISH KS4 SPANISH GCSE SPANISH VERBS CARDS 99 SPANISH VERBS CARDS WITH MATCHING ENGLISH CARDS AND WRITTEN RECALL WORKBOOKS @ $3.75 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** The verbs cards really do help to create a lively language learning environment, ideal for ***advanced beginner Spanish*** learners, as they prepare to move into and work confidently at ***intermediate Spanish*** level. The games and activities are a really successful alternative to more traditional 'vocabulary drilling' exercises. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their ***core Spanish verbs vocabulary*** in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The game cards and accompanying ***Recall & Write activities*** have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading, writing and spelling***. It doesn’t matter if any of the verbs don’t feature in your medium or even longer-term learning plan: this is a great way of encouraging your students to engage with new language, and to build their vocabulary at the same time. This prepares them really well for***creative activities in Spanish*** - they will have a rich vocabulary to choose from. Students can work independently of the teacher, challenging themselves and each other in their best ***Spanish*** accent to find all the matching verbs cards in ***Spanish and English***. The card templates allow students to ***apply their Spanish knowledge practically and creatively***, as they put together mini-quiz cards for each other, preferably from memory. This is an ***essential aspect of successful language learning***. The ***Reference, Recall & Write*** book has 18 pages. It includes an ***alphabetical Spanish-English reference list of all 99 verbs***. Students find this really useful as a learning support resource, and it comes in very handy for quick vocabulary quizzes too. The ***Recall and Write*** challenges help students familiarize themselves with, and really embed, the range of verbs in the set, and also get used to ***reading, writing and spelling in Spanish***. It’s also a great way of ***developing literacy skills in Spanish***. The challenges can be done several times, as students simply cover previous responses, so they definitely get a lot of use from a single workbook. ***There are three differentiated recall challenges:*** ***Written Recall Challenge One*** students write the English verbs from a Spanish prompt, with all the verbs in alphabetical order, Spanish-English. ***Written Recall Challenge Two*** again, students write the verbs in English from a Spanish prompt, but the Spanish verbs are now in random, rather than alphabetical order. Language learners often learn or are familiar with new vocabulary in a particular order, so it increases the recall challenge by changing that order. ***Written Recall Challenge Three*** the final challenge requires students to write the corresponding Spanish verb from an English prompt. The English verbs are also in random order. This challenge really helps with vocabulary recall, which is quite challenging when vocabulary does not appear in the context of a sentence. It's really useful for spelling in Spanish too. I encourage students to visit the ***Ideas, Notes and Next Steps*** page regularly, reflecting not only on the verbs they feel confident about, but also how they think their ***skills in listening, speaking, pronouncing Spanish, reading and writing*** are developing - and equally importantly, what they can reasonably do to keep improving. I always have activities where creative application of language is required too, so that they can use the verbs in real-world contexts, which is ***essential for progressing in language learning***. We also use their notes to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which again is really useful, and a very popular activity with students too. The resource works best when used frequently and regularly - students should store their work carefully in a learning folder or file that they can refer to at any point to support their learning and revision. Students also note down any new, related vocabulary, which builds into a really ***comprehensive high-frequency Spanish verb vocabulary bank*** in a very short space of time. Laminate the game cards if you can - they are far more learner-friendly, and the additional prep and expense is definitely worth it, as the cards will last in excellent conditional for years. Print & photocopy an appropriate number of quiz card templates and Reference, Recall & Write books. The books are best copied double-sided, and double-stapled on the left-hand side, rather than a single staple in the top left-hand corner for example. This format is again far more reader and writer-friendly, and can be used more effectively as a learning and reference resource. ***Have a browse in my store for more Spanish resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.*** **¡MUCHAS GRACIAS Y BUEN APRENDIZAJE!**
