Read full description

Learn Spanish vocabulary with spaced repetition rootcards: every word is a node on your vocabulary tree. 1,500+ words across 20 frequency levels, built from the words Spanish speakers actually use most, with genders, articles and full verb conjugations on every card. • Spaced repetition: Again / Hard / Good / Easy — cards come back right when you are about to forget them • Nouns show their article (el/la), verbs show present, preterite and perfect forms • Practice both directions: Spanish → English and English → Spanish • “a” or “de”? Drill the verb–infinitive patterns textbooks skip • Works fully offline, no account needed, progress stays on your device Spanish Rootcards Pro is a subscription, and the app requires it: start with 30 days free, then an auto-renewing monthly subscription at the price shown in the app. It unlocks everything — all 20 levels, the core and advanced decks, 1,500+ words, unlimited new cards per day and the a/de verb drills. The trial converts to a paid monthly subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends; manage or cancel anytime in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions.
