Vocab Runner

An English word appears. Two or three gates come at you, each with a Spanish word on it — and only one is the translation. Pick the right lane before it reaches you. Ten levels, from everyday fruit to the false friends that trip up B2 students.

How to play: click once on the game so it takes the keyboard, then change lanes with the and arrow keys (or A and D). On a phone, swipe left and right, or tap the side of the screen you want to move to. You get three lives — a wrong gate, or staying in an empty lane, costs one. Clear a level to unlock the next. Your progress is saved in this browser.

Why the wrong answers look right: the distractors are not random. Early levels use words from the same family (manzana vs naranja). From level 7 they start to sound alike (ajo vs apio, higo vs hongo). Level 10 is built entirely from real false friends — embarrassed is not embarazada, and library is not librería. Miss one and it shows up on the results screen so you actually learn it.

A game can drill your vocabulary. Only a real conversation can make it stick — book a class with Ángel and use what you just practiced.
