[Course Forum] AQA GCSE Spanish Vocabulary by EllieGirgis

Hi Trevor, I followed your suggestions exactly, and just made the changes. Let me know if you notice any more of these.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Please donā€™t be offended, but are you related to this fellow:

Glass - El vidrio, el vaso
To thank - Dar las gracias, agradecer
Driving license - El permiso de conducir, el carnet de conducir
Work experience - Las prƔcticas laborales, la experiencia laboral
Quiet - Tranquilo, callado
Tights - El panty, las medias

Good stuff.

Got them all I think - Iā€™ve also made some very minor additions to some of these items to clarify specific meanings.

Thanks for making corrections so consistently quickly!

Ball - La pelota, el balon
Carpet/ rug- La alfombra, la moqueta
To work- Trabajar, funcionar
Jacket - La chaqueta, la cazadora

Just did these ā€¦ more good catches by you.

By the way, these arenā€™t really corrections, but rather disambiguations. Iā€™d hate for anyone to to think that there are any remaining errors in this course :slight_smile:

To agree - estar de acuerdo, estar a favor, acceder

Thatā€™s a big one - now sorted.

I also edited the definitions of ponerse de acuerdo and acordar.

Level 3: por una parteā€¦por otra parte <=> on the one handā€¦on the other hand Ā§

The voice/speech presented for this phrase is the one that belongs to

por un lado por otro lado <=> on the one handā€¦on the other hand (l)

This happens for both correct responses and incorrect responses.

Environment: Windows 10 with Firefox ā€“ both up-to-date

Youā€™re quite right - now fixed. (The wrong audio file had been uploaded.)

I you spot any more errors, just let me know and Iā€™ll fix them.

Hey there, thank you for this course it should really help me, but I just was wondering does it work with the new September 2016 specifications (for those taking their exams in June 2018 and after). Sorry if it has already been asked or there is an obvious answer, I just wanted to double check. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I was expecting someone to ask this question, and youā€™re the first.

This Memrise course was designed to cover the vocabulary listed in the 2014 AQA Specification (which covers exactly the same vocabulary listed in the 2009 Specification).

The new 2016 Specification you mention contains differences in its listed vocabulary (some new words added, with some old words removed). The differences seem to be minimal, although Iā€™ve not checked this in detail. The 2016 Specification applies to exams in 2018 and later, as you point out.

Itā€™s obviously up to you if you want to work through this course. But If I were a student planning to sit a GCSE Spanish exam (any exam board) in 2017 or 2018, this would be the Memrise course Iā€™d work through - itā€™s free of significant errors and includes good audio with a ā€œcentral Spainā€ accent.

Good luck with your studies!

Thank you for your reply. I have just learnt that on first section there seem to be only words removed none added.

So, I will look at the specifications sheet after every time I learn a section and look for new words. I do not mind learning some extra words (after all more words is if anything useful to aid me to speak Spanish), I just donā€™t want to miss out any words.

This tactic should ensure I can see any extra words, learn them off by heart or maybe create a personal course for those words specifically and learn them later and then carry on with this excellent course. I suggest other students with these new specifications to do the same.

Thanks.

Hello! Long time no posts haha Iā€™ve just found that the English prompt for the Spanish ā€œaccederā€ is ā€œto agree (aā€¦, not ā€œaccederā€)ā€ which is rather off putting :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes - that would make the item very hard to answer :grinning:

Itā€™s now fixed and reads:

acceder = to agree (aā€¦, not ā€œacordarā€)

Good catch by you, as always!
