Spanish language flashcards online

I searched for similar threads but there don't seem to be any, so here goes--I hope it's not a duplication.

So I just found out about a free flashcard program for studying almost any language--or many other things for that matter. You can download flashcards to an android phone or PC, then use the associated program to learn/review vocabulary. It's lots of fun--and very useful.....

I'm using it to study Burmese, and then I got the bright idea to look for Spanish flashcards to add to my deck and there are tons of possibilities, in multiple languages. Some flashcards have audio files so you can hear as well as read. It's intuitive and the teacher that shared it with me said the protocols are great--it tracks your progress and knows what words you know already and the ones you need to see more.

It is called Anki (or Ankidroid on Google Play):
The site where you download the necessary software:
http://ankisrs.net/
And the list of possible spanish decks:
https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/spanish

And once you download the program and import word files, it is stand-alone and doesn't need an internet connection. So even on your next long plane journey to the Camino, you can 'cram' for the coming exam!

If anyone has used this, are there any particular decks you found particularly useful or camino-specific?
(I downloaded one deck that said JWalker-Spanish Deck...JohnnieWalker, that wouldn't be yours, would it?)

Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor supposedly said: "To women I speak in Italian, to men in French, to my horse in German, but to God, to God I speak in Spanish".

Said to be misattributed, but I'm not picky.

And the sad thing is that in Spain what happens when I want to say something in Spanish is that often Burmese comes out instead.

Viranani after I took a very basic Spanish class at one of our local schools, I went on line to Duo Lingo. It's quite simplistic and offers short 'tests' after you have done a section. They also use the flash cards.
When I arrived in Spain, I realized I had learned more than I thought…I could not carry on a steady conversation, but what I did learn was so helpful and made me feel a bit more connected to the locals….I was also able to download their app on my Nexus phone once I started travelling….now I'm back home and back at it. It's a beautiful language.
