Questions about learning Spanish by email

Is it really free?
Yes. No card and no trial. The daily email and the workbooks are free.
Do I need to know any Spanish?
No. It's written for beginners. The welcome email brings a starter workbook with the 40 words to learn first, and every word in the daily email comes with its meaning and a phrase.
How long does it take each day?
A few minutes to read the email, then get on with your day. The workbook is there for when you have longer, at your own pace.
What if I miss a day, or join halfway through the year?
The next email arrives as usual. There is no start to miss either: each date has its own 3 words, so 12 months after you join you have seen them all.
How does Tres Palabras teach Spanish?
Little and often. Each morning's email brings 3 words, a phrase for each that shows the word in use, and a short note on how Spanish works: where a word comes from, a pattern in the grammar, or where Spain and Latin America differ. Once a month, a workbook brings that month's words together with the grammar they share and exercises to practise them.
Why 3 words a day?
Three is enough to learn properly in a few minutes, every day. Each word comes with a phrase, because seeing a word in use helps it stick. Over a year, that adds up to 1,095 words.
What's in the monthly workbook?
All of the month's words with example sentences, the grammar they share explained in plain English, exercises with the answers at the back, and a short read in simple Spanish. You can type into it on screen or print it. The download link is in the daily email.
Why no streaks, points or leaderboards?
Because they reward keeping a number going, not learning the words. Tres Palabras is built for steady progress at your own pace, with nothing to keep up and nothing to lose.
Which Spanish?
Words used across Spain and Latin America. Where it matters, the email says which is which.
Who chooses the words?
Every word is curated by a native-speaker co-founder.

Three words with your morning coffee.
