While learning new vocabulary is incredibly important, knowing exactly how to spell those words is what takes your Spanish from beginner to pro. Spanish orthography is generally phonetic, but there are always tricky letters (like choosing between B and V, or C and Z) and essential accent marks (tildes) that can completely change the meaning of a word.
To make practicing your spelling highly engaging, we have built the interactive Falling Letters 1 Spanish Spelling Game below. Put your reflexes and your vocabulary to the test without having to write a single word!
