Now that summer has nearly started and schools in the northern hemisphere are starting to let out, it’s time to head to the beach. And for those of you who are learning Spanish like me, I’ve made a short Anki deck with 45 words for us to practice.

Deck is free to access and download here. Feel free to add or remove words as you see fit.
