Free Spanish Flashcards — Learn Spanish One Card at a Time

Welcome to Hola Cards: a simple, free Spanish flashcard game for beginners and travelers. No signup, no paywall, no tracking — just pick a deck and start practicing Spanish phrases in under ten seconds.

What makes Hola Cards different

Most Spanish flashcard apps ask you to sign up, track your data, or upsell you into a subscription before you've even learned your first word. Hola Cards does the opposite. Every deck, every phrase, and every practice mode is free and plays right in your browser — on desktop, phone, or tablet. It's built for people who want quick, friendly Spanish practice without the friction.

Who Hola Cards is for

If you're a beginner learning Spanish, Hola Cards is built for you. The Basics and Everyday Phrases decks cover the greetings, polite phrases, and survival expressions you'll actually use in a café, at a hotel, or meeting someone for the first time. If you're headed to Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Spain, or anywhere Spanish is spoken, the Travel deck and the 30-phrase Everyday Phrases deck will give you a head start on the interactions that matter most: ordering food, asking directions, buying a ticket, finding the bathroom.

If you're an intermediate learner who wants to keep vocabulary sharp, the Common Verbs, Time & Days, and Weather & Nature decks are quick, low-pressure ways to drill words you almost know. Each round shuffles fresh cards, so no two sessions feel the same.

How to use Hola Cards

Pick a deck that matches what you want to practice. Choose a mode — Flip is great for honest self-assessment, Multiple choice is a gentle warm-up, and Type It is the most challenging (and the most effective for long-term memory). Pick your direction: Spanish → English builds recognition, English → Spanish builds recall. Then play a 15-card round.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hola Cards really free?

Yes. No account, no email, no paywall, no ads. The whole game runs in your browser.

Do I need an account or to download anything?

No. Just click play. Your best streak per deck is saved locally on your device so your progress sticks between sessions — but nothing is sent anywhere.

Is this good for complete beginners?

Yes. The Basics and Everyday Phrases decks assume no prior Spanish. Each card shows a pronunciation hint so you can sound the word out the first time you see it, and a small speaker button lets you hear it spoken by your browser's built-in Spanish voice.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes — it's designed mobile-first. The cards, buttons, and audio all work on iPhone, Android, and tablets.

How many Spanish words and phrases are included?

Over 230 cards spread across 10 themed decks, including a dedicated 30-phrase deck of everyday Spanish expressions for travel and conversation.

Is this good for preparing for a trip to Mexico, Costa Rica, or Spain?

It's a great starting point. The Travel and Everyday Phrases decks focus on the situations you actually encounter — hotels, restaurants, asking for help, making small talk. For deeper grammar and conversation practice, pair Hola Cards with speaking practice and a good beginner grammar resource.
