About LaLista
LaLista is a free place to learn Spanish — Castellano, specifically. 2001 words with real pronunciation and a grammar reference that covers every topic completely, side by side on one site. No ads, no accounts, no cookie banners. Just the list.
Vocabulary
Words, three ways
The vocabulary trainer holds 2001 words in 27 topic groups — colors, food, travel and so on — each with audio, phonetics and an example sentence. Three modes share them:
- Group Study — where learning happens. Pick a group; new words arrive in small batches and get quizzed until they climb the seven stages from New to Mastered. Skip what you don't know yet, flag difficult words, mark words you already know — and pin a note to any word to make it stick.
- Review — relaxed reinforcement: six choices, no clock. Mix any directions (English→Spanish, Spanish→English, listening) in one run, over everything you've mastered or a single group. Review never changes a word's learning stage — it just keeps it bright.
- Test — the opposite: three choices, a real clock, five lives, and a high score to beat. Pure recall under pressure, with your learning progress safely out of reach.
Grammar
One topic, told completely
The grammar reference has 57 chapters in 13 parts. Instead of slicing a topic into pieces across difficulty levels, each chapter tells one story end to end — ser vs estar, the subjunctive, por vs para — from the first idea to the finest exceptions, so there's always exactly one place to look something up.
Read a chapter, mark it read, then open its workbook: interactive exercises — multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, error correction, conjugation grids, sentence reordering and more. Retake them as often as you like; only your best score counts, so a bad day never sets you back.
Progress
No accounts — a file you keep
There is nothing to sign into. Your progress lives in a small file on your own computer: load it on the Progress page when you arrive, hit save when you're done. The same page is your dashboard — every group and chapter at a glance — plus your streak, test bests, and a notepad for your own notes, word mnemonics included.

I built LaLista because the site I wanted to learn from didn't exist. Everything I tried treated vocabulary and grammar as separate worlds — great flashcards with barely any grammar, or solid grammar chopped into fragments — and the rest sat behind subscriptions, ads, accounts and cookie walls. I wanted one quiet, complete place where the two are learned together. So I built it.
LaLista is the tool I study with myself; if it helps you too, it's doing its job.
Support
Keep the coffee warm
LaLista is free and stays free — no ads, ever. If it has earned a spot in your Spanish routine and you feel like giving something back, a coffee genuinely helps.
