Hola Means Hola - Dictionary
Learn Spanish Vocabulary
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Learn Spanish words without constantly translating them.
Hola Means Hola is a Spanish-first learner’s dictionary designed to be searched, read, and listened to. Look up the word you need, or follow a frequency-ordered
path through Spanish vocabulary. Without flashcards.
--SEARCH IN SPANISH OR ENGLISH--
Search more than 70,000 Spanish entries and hundreds of thousands of conjugations, plurals, inflected forms, and related terms. Choose Simple Spanish for the
essential meaning or Detailed Spanish for greater precision and nuance.
Definitions, examples, and connected words remain in Spanish. English support is available when you need confirmation, but it never takes over the learning
experience.
--READ THE DICTIONARY---
Build your Spanish from the words that matter most.
The 25,000-word reading path is organized into 25 levels, beginning with the words Spanish uses most. Clear Spanish definitions build on more common vocabulary,
so each level helps unlock the next.
Read while you wait in line, take a break, or have a few quiet minutes. Your place and progress are saved automatically.
--LISTEN WHILE YOU MOVE--
Turn vocabulary into a Spanish listening practice for walks, commutes, or time away from the screen.
Choose from three listening modes:
- Complete: Spanish definition and example, English confirmation, then the example again
- Spanish Only: definition and example entirely in Spanish
- Mixed: a shorter bilingual review
Adjust playback speed, set a sleep timer, and download audio for the levels you want available offline.
--EACH ENTRY INCLUDES--
- Frequency rank
- Simple and detailed Spanish definitions
- Spanish example sentences
- Optional English support
- Multiple meanings, if applicable
- False-cognate warnings
--BUILT FOR INDEPENDENT LEARNERS--
Hola Means Hola is for intermediate and advanced learners who want to spend more time understanding Spanish with Spanish, and less time translating back and
forth.
