Spanish and English share an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 cognates, like importante and universidad. Cards matter most where a guess won't help: queso, playa, comer.
Spanish spelling is among the most regular in Europe, so the letters tell you the sound. Every word has audio, so you can check yourself by ear.
Nouns come with their article, so you learn el pan and la flor whole, not a bare word you have to sort out later.
Both mean "to be", and learners take a long time to sort them out, often years. In the deck of 50 common verbs they are two cards: to be (permanent) and to be (temporary).
