This is the discussion forum for the course AQA GCSE Spanish Vocabulary by EllieGirgis
This course is for those taking the Higher Tier (or Foundation Tier) AQA Spanish GCSE.
This course includes all of the vocabulary needed for the reading and listening papers as part of the updated 2014 SPECIFICATION - the vocabulary was initially provided by the AQA website.
Two additional levels (Level 44 and Level 45) have been added to cover new vocabulary for exams through to 2025, based on the current (2016) AQA Specification.
Hope it helps
An alternative, multiple-choice-only version of the course is available here:
For revision purposes, within each level you can skip past ālearnā mode and go straight into āreviewā mode, simply by selecting āIgnore allā (& saving), then immediately selecting āIgnore noneā (& saving).
With multiple choice questions Iād recommend first thinking of the correct answer, then glancing through the options. If your answer is among the presented options, click on that option. However, if you donāt see your answer, try to deliberately select a wrong answer - that way Memrise will automatically repeat the question more frequently.
Hello all - is anyone maintaining the course above? If so, I have found a mistake in level 43 and am hoping someone can correct it, either EllieGirgis or ianm_mn?
Thereās a bunch of double/triple words in the later levels (28 onwards), not sure exactly which levels, but certainly in 34. Thereās one English word and multiple Spanish equivalents, but no way of knowing which Spanish word you should answer with when questioned with the English. Examples:
Word- La letra, la palabra
Language- El idioma, la lengua
Bag- La bolsa, el bolso
Armchair- La butaca, el sillĆ³n
School- El colegio, el instituto, la escuela
I guess Iām asking if somebody can change them so theyāre like other double words in earlier levels e.g. word (L) and word Ā§ or language (I) and language (L)
Iāve added the bracketed disambiguation to the āestrictoā and āseveroā translations (L34) you mentioned, and did the same for ārigurosoā in L42.
Similarly, I edited the translations for ācomenzarā and āempezarā in L34, as well as āponerse aā in L42.
Iām guessing that you are one of the very few learners among the 33,800 course subscribers who have made it to these later levels!
to take- llevar, coger, tomar
polite - formal, educado
oil - el petroleo, el aceite (assuming they refer to different kinds of oil but itās not distinguished)
dark - oscuro, moreno
tasty - rico, sabroso
Sorry, Iām getting lazy with my typing now, Iām just listing them as they come to mind
Hi, I checked and fixed your recent batch - all very good catches.
By the way, Iād suggest not spending time typing the English translation if you find more of these - just type out the Spanish words in one line (and donāt bother with articles or accents) - for example, just type in this format:
Iām alright. Thereās an OCD thing at play that i donāt really have the time or desire to try and explain. I meant lazy with the extra stuff besides the actual point of the posts, if that makes sense? I just have to keep the words and translations laid out consistently, for some reason. Not the place i wanted mental health to come up but didnāt want you to think i was just straight up ignoring what you said haha
No problem at all - please use whatever format youāre comfortable with - and Iām very much appreciating your help.
Incidentally, Iām sure that many people are already benefiting from your recent disambiguation suggestions - there have been over 2000 active participants on this course since Monday this week, and over 4000 since the start of January.
Tobacconistās- El estanco, la tabacalera
Old - Viejo, anciano
Forest - El bosque, la selva
To change - Cambiar, hacer transbordo
Home - El hogar, el domicilio
Fridge- La nevera, el frigorĆfico
Wedding - La boda, el casamiento
Job - El trabajo, el empleo
Iāve finished the course now so these are popping up all the time as my revision sessions include more different levels than before
Bit of a brain fart
