1001 Most Useful Spanish Words by Seymour Resnick

Description: 

File contains only the Spanish Questions with English answers. You may of course create your own vise-versa cards when you are comfortable enough to go in that direction.

The book's title apparently is meant to be catchy and does not reflect the actual number of words, which amount to 1312 in all.

The majority of the words are uncategorized. I included sentences for words whose meaning was difficult (at least for me) to grasp without context, ex.
------------------------------------------------
Question:
repente, de

Answer:
suddenly

De repente apareció el niño.
Suddenly, the child appeared.
-------------------------------------------------

I also include sentences for many reflexive verbs (casarse, despartarse, etc.) to show how they are used in context.

The latter part of the book (5 out of 55 pages) includes the following groups which I have created as categories, omitting "numbers."

animales - Animals
colores - colors
comida - food
la familia - family
los días de la semana - days of the week
los meses del año - months of the year
profesiones - professions
tiendas - shops/stores
las estaciones - seasons

Reasons to buy the book even though you have this file:

- It sells for $2.00, brand new.
- It's small and portable.
- It contains sentences for all of the uncategorized words (which is the majority of them), and tips on learning vocabulary.
- I cannot guarantee this file does not contain typos or misspellings.

Enjoy!

Getting cards in program

How do I get cards into the program I stalled?

How to get it into the software

To get this one into the Mnemosyne you need to download the file, extract it, then start the program (not necessarily in that order).
The chose Import
Then set file format to XML
press browse, then find the file, if it is in grey, make sure you change the file type to all in the browser window, and then you can chose it.
then Press Ok.
If you get a lot of nonsense input, then just repeat the process, and when you get to the end, before pressing okay, make sure the file format is set to XML.
but I am guessing you aren't reading this since tooo much time has gone by I guess.

This doesn't seem to work on a Mac

I tried to follow the instructions, but there does not seem to be anything there.
