Lives game

Spanish Heart Run.

Easy

Three hearts, twelve words. Translate, translate back and listen — every miss costs a heart, and a streak of five wins one back. Words you miss come round again. Can you reach the end?

How to play

  1. You start a run with three hearts and a progress bar. Each question is one of three kinds: pick the Spanish for an English word, pick the English for a Spanish word, or listen to a spoken Spanish word and tap what you heard.
  2. Tap an answer. A right answer turns green and the Spanish word is read aloud; a wrong answer shakes, costs you a heart and shows the correct translation.
  3. Get five in a row to win a heart back, up to a maximum of three. Words you miss are put back into the queue so you meet them again before the run ends.
  4. Answer twelve words to finish the run — or lose all three hearts and start again. Finish with all three hearts for a perfect run.

Questions

Is this Spanish lives game free?

Yes — it plays in your browser with no sign-up. Sign in only if you want to save the words you practised to your review deck and track your best score.

How do I get hearts back?

Answer five questions correctly in a row and you win one heart back, up to a maximum of three. Any wrong answer resets the streak.

What happens to the words I miss?

Each missed word returns a few questions later, in a different question type, so you get a second chance before the run ends.

Can I practise one topic?

Yes. Use the theme picker to draw the words from a single category — animals, food, the home and more.
