Master 1,000 exam-specific Spanish words with spaced repetition flashcards designed for the DELE A2 citizenship exam. Based on Instituto Cervantes official curriculum.
Why This Anki Deck Will Help You Pass DELE A2
The DELE (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera) A2 is the official Spanish language certification required for Spanish citizenship and long-term residency applications. Administered by Instituto Cervantes, this exam tests your ability to communicate in everyday situations using common Spanish vocabulary and expressions.
This Anki deck contains the precise 1,000 words you need to master, carefully selected from official Instituto Cervantes DELE A2 exam specifications and analyzed from actual citizenship test questions.
What Makes This Deck Different from Other Spanish Resources
Unlike generic Spanish vocabulary apps or free Anki decks, this deck is laser-focused on the DELE A2 citizenship exam:
Citizenship Exam-Focused Content
Every word in this deck appears frequently in DELE A2 citizenship exam contexts. The categories align with typical exam scenarios:
- Daily Life & Routines — describing your daily schedule, family activities, household chores
- Government & Administration — Extranjería (immigration office), Policía Nacional, NIE/DNI, empadronamiento, citizenship procedures
- Housing & Living — rental agreements, comunidad de vecinos, utilities (luz, agua, gas), housing documentation
- Employment — job contracts, trabajar/empleo vocabulary, workplace situations, seguridad social
- Healthcare — centro de salud, médico de familia, farmacia, tarjeta sanitaria, medical appointments
- Education — colegio, instituto, matriculación, reuniones escolares, education system
- Shopping & Services — supermercado, banco, correos, reclamaciones, consumer rights
- Transportation — metro, autobús, RENFE, carnet de conducir, transporte público
- Emergencies — policía, bomberos, urgencias, accidentes, emergency situations
- Social Integration — fiestas locales, asociaciones, actividades culturales, making connections
- Finance & Documentation — cuenta bancaria, factura, recibo, impuestos, official paperwork
- Time & Appointments — cita previa, horario, plazo, deadline vocabulary
Authentic Spanish Pronunciation
Every card includes crystal-clear audio recorded by native Spanish speakers from Spain (European Spanish). This is essential for the DELE listening comprehension section.
Proven Spaced Repetition Method
The deck leverages Anki's scientifically-proven spaced repetition algorithm to optimize your learning. Research shows this method is 3-5x more effective than traditional study methods.
How to Use This Deck for DELE A2 Success
- Begin 2-3 months before your exam date — Study 30-50 new cards daily alongside other DELE preparation materials.
- Combine with practice exams — Use this deck with our DELE A2 Practice Simulator for comprehensive exam preparation.
- Target your weak categories — Use Anki's tagging system to focus on categories where you struggle most.
- Listen to every audio clip — Pronunciation practice is crucial for the listening and speaking sections.
- Study consistently — 20-30 minutes daily is far more effective than irregular marathon sessions.

What DELE A2 Students Are Saying
Pasé el DELE A2 en mi primer intento gracias a este mazo combinado con los simuladores. El vocabulario de administración (NIE, empadronamiento, Extranjería) apareció exactamente como en el examen real. ¡Imprescindible para la nacionalidad española!
Carlos M.
Venezuelan citizenship applicant • Passed DELE A2 October 2025
After trying Duolingo and other apps, I realized they don't prepare you for the bureaucratic Spanish you actually need for citizenship. This deck focuses on exactly what appears in the DELE exam. The government services category alone was worth the price.
Jessica T.
US expat in Barcelona • Passed DELE A2 November 2025
El audio con pronunciación de España fue crucial para la parte de comprensión auditiva. Estudié 40 tarjetas cada mañana durante 2 meses y saqué un 85% en el examen. Lo recomiendo totalmente.
Paulo R.
Brazilian in Madrid • Passed DELE A2 December 2025
I bundled this with the Prep2Go DELE simulator—perfect combination! The simulator taught me exam format and timing, while the Anki deck built my vocabulary. Together they covered everything I needed for Spanish citizenship.
Amira K.
Moroccan in Valencia • Passed DELE A2 September 2025
Worth every euro. Free resources don't teach you words like 'certificado de antecedentes penales' or 'reagrupación familiar'—exactly what you need for citizenship paperwork and the DELE exam. Got 82% on the test.
Wei L.
Chinese researcher in Granada • Passed DELE A2 January 2026
As a Portuguese speaker, I thought Spanish would be easy. Wrong! The administrative vocabulary was completely different. This deck's themed categories (especially government services) made the difference between passing and failing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between LITE and FULL versions?
LITE is a free preview with 100 words available on AnkiWeb so you can test the format. FULL is the complete deck with 1,000 DELE A2-specific words, native Spanish audio, example sentences, and themed categories. Try LITE first to ensure Anki works for your learning style before purchasing FULL.
Do I need the Anki app to use this deck?
Yes. These are Anki flashcard decks (.apkg files). Download the free Anki application (available for desktop, iOS, and Android at ankiweb.net) and import the .apkg file. Anki is completely free and open-source—you never pay for the app.
Is this enough to pass DELE A2 on its own?
No. This deck builds essential vocabulary, but DELE A2 also tests reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills. We strongly recommend combining this deck with our DELE A2 Practice Simulator for complete exam preparation.
How long should I study before taking the DELE exam?
Most successful students study 2-3 months with daily practice (20-40 minutes per day reviewing 30-50 cards). However, timeline depends on your current Spanish level and available study time.
Is the audio European Spanish (Spain) or Latin American?
All audio is European Spanish from Spain, recorded by native Spanish speakers. This is essential because DELE exams administered in Spain use European Spanish pronunciation and vocabulary.
What if I'm not satisfied with the deck?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee with no questions asked. If you're unsatisfied for any reason, contact us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
How do I receive the deck after purchasing?
After completing your purchase through Lemon Squeezy, you'll immediately receive a download link for the .apkg file via email. Download it to your computer or phone, then open it with the Anki application.
Does this teach Spanish grammar?
No. This is a vocabulary-focused deck designed to help you memorize the 1,000 most important words for DELE A2. For grammar, we recommend dedicated textbooks or courses.
Will this deck be updated?
Yes. As we analyze new DELE exams and Instituto Cervantes updates, we release free updates with refined content. When you purchase, you receive lifetime access to all future updates at no extra cost.
Can I use this deck on my phone?
Absolutely. Anki has free apps for Android and iOS. Import the deck on desktop first, then sync to your phone using a free AnkiWeb account.
I speak Portuguese/Italian. Will this still help?
Yes! Romance language speakers have advantages, but DELE tests specific Spanish vocabulary that doesn't always align with Portuguese or Italian cognates. The deck focuses on these exam-critical words.
Can I share this deck with my spouse who's also preparing for DELE?
The deck is licensed for individual use only. However, we offer couples discounts—contact us and we'll create a special bundle price.
