Free-Time Activities & Entertainment

Ever wondered how to chat about your hobbies in Spanish? These vocabulary lists give you the power to discuss what you love (and hate!) doing in your spare time.

The entertainment vocabulary includes essentials like el cine (cinema), la película (film), and bailar (to dance). You'll also master frequency words like siempre (always), a veces (sometimes), and nunca (never) - perfect for describing how often you do activities.

Time expressions are crucial here too. Learn el fin de semana (weekend), la tarde $afternoon/evening$ , and de vez en cuando (from time to time) to sound natural when discussing your routine.

Top Tip: Use me gusta + infinitive verb (like bailar, cantar, leer) to say what you enjoy doing!

Food & Drink Essentials

Food vocabulary is absolutely vital for GCSE Spanish - you'll definitely encounter it in your speaking and listening exams! This section covers meals, ingredients, and restaurant basics.

Meal vocabulary starts with the basics: el desayuno (breakfast), la comida (lunch), and la cena (dinner). The verbs desayunar, comer, and cenar show you how to say you're having these meals.

Food items range from simple ingredients like el huevo (egg), la mantequilla (butter), and el queso (cheese) to complete dishes such as la tortilla (omelette) and el bocadillo (sandwich). Restaurant foods like los calamares (squid) and el bistec (steak) help you navigate Spanish menus.

Memory Hack: Group foods by meals - la tostada and la mermelada for breakfast, las patatas fritas for lunch treats!

Sports & Physical Activities

Sports vocabulary opens up conversations about healthy living and competition - topics that frequently appear in GCSE Spanish assessments.

Sports and activities include both common and adventurous options. While you'll use el esquí (skiing) and basic terms like el ejercicio (exercise), more exciting activities like el alpinismo (rock climbing) and la vela (sailing) show off your vocabulary range.

Competition language helps you discuss matches and tournaments. Key terms include el partido (match), el torneo (tournament), ganar (to win), and el jugador (player). Don't forget el equipo (team) for group sports!

Training vocabulary like entrenar (to train), el entrenamiento (training), and relajarse (to relax) lets you talk about the work behind sporting success.

Exam Smart: Learn la salud (health) - it connects sports topics to healthy lifestyle discussions that examiners love!

Sports & Physical Activities (Continued)

This page reinforces the same essential sports vocabulary, giving you extra practice with the terms you'll need most for your GCSE Spanish exams.

Key competition terms like el concurso (competition), la carrera (race), and el miembro (member) help you discuss sporting events with confidence. These words frequently appear in exam listening passages about school sports days or local tournaments.

Time and planning vocabulary includes mañana (tomorrow) and durante (during) - essential for discussing future sporting activities or describing when events take place.

Remember that words like cansado/a (tired), seguro/a (sure), and probar $to try/test$ help you express feelings and intentions around sports - perfect for speaking assessments where you need to show opinion and emotion.

Practice Tip: Try using ¿Qué deportes harás? (What sports will you do?) to practise future tense conversations about your sporting plans!
