AbInitio

Ab Initio is the Spanish IB vocabulary companion built for students following the Diverso Nuevo Básico course. With 981 words across 21 curriculum-aligned units, two study modes, smart spaced repetition, and full sentence practice, it is everything you need to walk into your oral or written exam with confidence. STUDY MODES Flashcards — Tap to flip between Spanish and English. Mark words as "Got it" or "Keep practising". The app automatically prioritises the words you find hardest and limits each session to 20 words so studying stays focused. Tap the speaker at any time to hear native-speed Spanish pronunciation. Multiple Choice Quiz — Three quiz modes: see the Spanish word and choose the English translation, see the English and choose the Spanish, or play Mixed mode which randomly switches direction. Four options per card, instant colour feedback, and automatic scoring. Sentence Practice — Work through real IB-style sentences about daily routine (Mi Rutina Diaria). Tap to reveal the English translation, then listen to the full sentence pronounced at natural pace. SMART SPACED REPETITION The app tracks every word you have seen and how often you answer correctly. Each new session is built automatically — unseen and weak words come first, strong words are only shown once the rest are covered. A mastery bar on every chapter updates after each answer so you can see progress in real time.
