Vocabcord's Spanish–English corpus holds 4,710 phrase entries: 2,355 unique phrases, each taught in both directions (Spanish→English and English→Spanish), graded across the six CEFR levels, sorted into 12 everyday themes, every one with audio. Here is the full breakdown, computed from the packs the app ships.
What's in the Spanish corpus
The Spanish pair makes up 14.2% of the full 33,233-phrase Vocabcord corpus. It ships as 90 packs (45 per direction): one unified beginner pack at A1, then themed packs from A2 up. Every entry carries the Spanish phrase, its English translation, an in-context example sentence, and audio.
Both directions serve different learners: a Spanish speaker learning English hears English target phrases, and an English speaker learning Spanish hears Spanish ones. The two directions mirror each other pack for pack, so the per-direction numbers below apply to whichever way you learn. The first 50 A1 phrases in each direction are free in the app.
By CEFR level
| CEFR level | Entries (both directions) | Phrases per direction | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 · Beginner | 1,250 | 625 | 26.5% |
| A2 · Elementary | 1,250 | 625 | 26.5% |
| B1 · Intermediate | 990 | 495 | 21.0% |
| B2 · Upper-intermediate | 200 | 100 | 4.2% |
| C1 · Advanced | 200 | 100 | 4.2% |
| C2 · Proficient | 820 | 410 | 17.4% |
| Total | 4,710 | 2,355 | 100% |
The pair is front-loaded by design: 53.1% of it sits at A1–A2, where a beginner’s first plug-ins do the most work. B2 and C1 are the thinnest levels in the corpus today, and C2 runs deep because advanced vocabulary spans the widest range of topics.
By theme
Above A1, the Spanish pair is organized into 12 everyday themes. A2 covers all 12; B1 and C2 cover 11 each; B2 and C1 cover 5 each. Counts below are unique phrases per direction, with the levels each theme appears at.
| Theme | Phrases per direction | Levels covered |
|---|---|---|
| Describing Things | 252 | A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 |
| Work, Money & School | 251 | A2, B1, B2, C2 |
| Grammar & Function Words | 248 | A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 |
| Everyday Verbs | 231 | A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 |
| People & Family | 146 | A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 |
| Greetings & Essentials | 117 | A2, B1, C2 |
| Home & Things | 108 | A2, B1, C2 |
| Body & Health | 100 | A2, B1, C2 |
| Travel & Places | 94 | A2, B1, C2 |
| Weather & Animals | 82 | A2, B1, C2 |
| Numbers & Time | 67 | A2, B1, C1 |
| Food & Drink | 34 | A2, C2 |
| Themed total | 1,730 |
The remaining 625 phrases per direction are the A1 beginner pack, which ships as one unthemed set. The four workhorse themes (Describing Things, Work Money & School, Grammar & Function Words, Everyday Verbs) hold 982 phrases per direction, 57% of all themed content, because they carry the language's structural core.
How the phrases grow with level
Measured across every Spanish headword and example sentence in the English→Spanish direction: the average headword stretches from 6.3 characters at A1 to about 9 at B2–C2, and the average example sentence grows from 3.9 words at A1 to 9.4 at C2.
| CEFR level | Avg headword (characters) | Multi-word headwords | Avg example sentence (words) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 6.3 | 6% | 3.9 |
| A2 | 7.8 | 12% | 5.9 |
| B1 | 8.4 | 7% | 5.1 |
| B2 | 9.0 | 3% | 7.1 |
| C1 | 9.4 | 12% | 7.6 |
| C2 | 9.1 | 5% | 9.4 |
One honest wobble: A2 example sentences average slightly longer than B1’s (5.9 vs 5.1 words), because A2 leans on full everyday sentences while B1 introduces denser single-clause examples. The headword trend holds cleanly through C1.
How these numbers are made
Every figure on this page is computed directly from the pack manifests and the pack registry the shipping app is built from. Each unique phrase is counted once per direction it ships in, the per-level “Everything” aggregates that bundle a level’s themed packs are excluded so nothing is counted twice, and the length averages cover every entry in the pair. The audio count was verified the same way: all 4,710 entries carry a recording, with zero gaps.
The proficiency grading follows the CEFR, and the English frequency backbone is the New General Service List (NGSL 1.2), published under CC BY-SA 4.0; Vocabcord’s derived vocabulary lists share that license.
