I Memorized the Dictionary to Learn Spanish. The Results Shocked Me.

  • Share this:

Bored of quarantine, I decided to spend the week memorizing the dictionary to learn Spanish. I’ve done lots of language challenges and learned many things in my life, including learning Chinese, but this was one of the most difficult challenges I’ve ever undertaken.

It’s a little different from my typical “White Guy Speaks Chinese” videos but the results of this experiment genuinely shocked and amazed me and I’m so glad I decided to do it!

Regarding the app I use to memorize, it’s called Anki, a free and open source cross-platform app that’s the most efficient way to memorize huge amounts of vocabulary in different languages. It's based on a system called spaced repetition. You can read more about it and download it here: https://apps.ankiweb.net/index.html

The dictionary I bought is called the Spanish Frequency Dictionary - Essential Vocabulary. You can buy it from mostusedwords.com. However, I found a shared Anki you can download that has the 2500 most common words already loaded up, with audio and visuals — you can check that out here: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/241428882
