Catch them instead of memorizing them

A vocabulary list gets you started, but the objects that actually teach you Spanish are the ones in your own home. Photograph your bed, your keys, your remote control, and CatchFrase names each one in Spanish, reads it aloud, and builds an example sentence around it — so the word attaches to the exact object you touch every day instead of to a row in a table.

Every catch becomes a collectible card with the word, a phrase, audio, and a place in your review queue. Smart review (CatchFrase's spaced-repetition system) brings each word back just before you'd forget it, so the words from your bedroom don't fade the moment you close this page.

Being honest about the free tier: it's 10 catches a day, so a full room of household objects — bed, pillow, blanket, closet, mirror, lamp, and the rest — takes about 4 days at that pace. Working room by room over a week or two is a realistic way to build real vocabulary without paying for anything, and there's no account required to start.

Common questions

Why do some words in this list have two Spanish versions?

Household vocabulary varies more by region than most word categories — closet, glasses, and bathtub all have a common Latin American form and a different Spain form. Both are correct; the table notes each pair so you learn the one that matches where you're headed.

Can I switch languages later if I start with Spanish?

On the free tier, you pick one language when you start and stick with it. CatchFrase Plus unlocks switching between all 9 supported languages whenever you want.

Is CatchFrase free to use for this?

Yes. The free tier includes 10 catches a day, a 75-card collection, and daily review — enough to work through a room or two of household objects over a few days. CatchFrase Plus adds unlimited catches and deeper practice.
