Vocabulary List GCSE Spanish OCR GCSE in Spanish: J732 OCR GCSE (Short Course) in Spanish Spoken Language: J032 OCR GCSE (Short Course) in Spanish Written Language: J132 This Vocabulary List is designed to accompany the OCR GCSE Spanish specification for teaching from September 2009 SPANISH GCSE VOCABULARY LIST This vocabulary list will be a valuable guide for teachers when planning their teaching and learning programmes and preparing candidates for the assessment. Please note that this list should not be seen as a self-study aid, as only brief meanings have been given and candidates may need help from their teacher/tutor to interpret some items correctly. Foundation Tier: Assessment tasks for Foundation Tier Listening and Reading will be based on material in this vocabulary list. The assessments will contain some unfamiliar vocabulary but this will not be tested. Higher Tier: Assessment tasks for Higher Tier Listening and Reading will be based on material in both the Foundation and Higher Tier lists. Assessments will contain some unfamiliar vocabulary, and some of this will be tested, since the national subject criteria require candidates to use a range of techniques to deduce meaning. Speaking and Writing In Controlled Assessment tasks, candidates may use vocabulary from the Foundation and Higher tier lists but can also use vocabulary that specifically suits the tasks they choose to do and their own personal interests. Prior knowledge It is expected that candidates will be already familiar with the following: • Numbers – (ordinal and cardinal) • Days of the week, months of the year and seasons • Towns, countries and nationalities • Feminine and plural forms of the words listed • Prefixes and suffixes of words already listed • Target-language words used in English • English words used in the target language. • Grammatical items and structures figuring in Appendix B in the Specification (e.g. conjunctions, prepositions, both simple and compound, reflexives, common adverbs and adverbial phrases, etc.) • Straightforward and common cognates Please note that some easily recognisable cognates may not be present in this list; however, others have been presented as a help to teachers and candidates. Cognates included in this list are those that are written similarly to their English counterparts, but pronounced in a markedly different way. At Higher tier, candidates should know how to interpret suffixes as linguistic markers showing relationships between different parts of speech and have an awareness of the function of prefixes to modify the meaning of the root: e.g. réserver réservation übernachten Übernachtung producir reducir © OCR 2009 place réservée introducir Page 2 of 43 GCSE Spanish Vocabulary List (Foundation) A abajo abeja abierto abogado/a abrigo abrir abuelo/a /abuelos aburrido (aburrirse) acampar aceite aceitunas acera acero acompañar aconsejar acordarse de acostarse actor/ actriz además de adiós aduana aeropuerto afortunadamente afueras agencia de viajes agenda agradable agua (potable / mineral) agudo agujero ahora ahorrar (al) aire libre ajedrez ajo abanico albaricoque albergue juvenil albóndigas aldea alegre alfombra algo algodón alguien alguna parte allí almohada GCSE Spanish Foundation Vocabulary List © OCR 2009 down (-wards/ -stairs) bee open lawyer coat to open/ to turn on (gas, water)_ grandfather/mother /parents boring (to be bored) to camp oil olives pavement steel to accompany/ go with to advise to remember to go to bed/ to lie down actor/ actress beside(s) good-bye customs airport fortunately outskirts travel agent's diary (for appointments) pleasant / enjoyable water (drinking / mineral) sharp hole now to save (money) open air (in the) chess garlic fan apricot youth hostel meat-balls village happy carpet something cotton someone/ body somewhere there pillow Page 3 of 43 almuerzo alojamiento alpinismo alquilar alto alumno/a ama de casa amable amargo amarillo ambiente ambos amigo/a amor amueblado ancho andando/ a pie andar andén anillo animado año (Año Nuevo) ansioso anteayer antes (de) antiguo anuncio aparcar; aparcamiento aparecer apellido apetecer a uno aprender aprendiz (-aje) apretar aquí árabe árbol (de Navidad) (frutal) arbusto área de servicio arena armario arrancar arriba arrojar arroyo arroz asar (a la parrilla) ascensor aseo así asiento GCSE Spanish Foundation Vocabulary List © OCR 2009 lunch/ mid-day meal accommodation climbing to rent/ hire tall/ high pupil housewife kind bitter yellow atmosphere both friend love furnished wide/ broad on foot/ walking to walk (go) platform ring lively year (New Year) anxious day before yesterday before ancient; former advert to park; car park to appear surname to feel like; fancy to learn apprentice (-ship) to press here arab/ arabic (Christmas) (fruit) tree bush motorway services sand cupboard/ wardrobe to start (a car) up (-wards, -stairs) to throw stream rice to roast (barbecue) lift toilet so/ therefore seat Page 4 of 42 asignatura (facultativa/ obligatoria) aspiradora asunto atasco aterrizar atletismo atrás atún audífonos aula aún (no) auricular autobús autocar autopista auto-servicio avenida avería avión aviso avispa ayer ayudar ayuntamiento azafata azúcar azul subject (option/ compulsory) vacuum cleaner matter hold-up/ jam (traffic) to land athletics back (-wards) tuna headphones classroom still; (not yet) receiver (telephone) bus coach motorway self-service avenue breakdown plane notice wasp yesterday to help town hall air hostess sugar blue B bachillerato (elemental/ superior) bailar; baile bajar bajo balón baloncesto bañador bañarse; baño bandeja bar barato barba barco (de pesca/ de vela) barrer barrio bastante basura batería bebé beber; bebida beso biblioteca GCSE Spanish Foundation Vocabulary List © OCR 2009 school exams ("GCSE"/ A-level") to dance; dance to go down (-wards); to get off (transport) short (height) ball (large) basketball swimsuit to have a bath/ bathe; bath tray bar (pub) cheap beard boat (fishing/ sailing) to sweep district (of a town) quite / fairly/ enough rubbish drumkit/ battery (car) baby to drink; drink kiss library Page 5 of 43 bibliotecario bicicleta (de montaña) bienvenido billete billete (de ida solo/ de ida y vuelta) bistec blanco blusa boca bocadillo bodega bolera boli bolsa/o bolsillo bombero/a (bomberos) bombilla bombones bonito bordo (a) bosque botas bote barca/bote de remos botella botón boxeo bragas brazo bricolaje brillar broncearse bueno bufanda buque burro buscar butaca buzón librarian bike (mountain) welcome (bank) note (single/ return) ticket steak white blouse mouth sandwich wine cellar bowling alley biro bag pocket fireman (fire brigade) light bulb sweets pretty board (on) wood/ forest boots pot (jam) (rowing) boat bottle button boxing panties arm DIY to shine to sunbathe good scarf ship donkey to look for armchair letter box C caballo (montar a) cabeza cabina telefónica cabo cabra cacahuetes cacerola cada caer(se) café GCSE Spanish Foundation Vocabulary List © OCR 2009 horse (to ride) head (body) telephone box end goat peanuts saucepan each to fall coffee Page 6 of 42 cafetera caja cajero automático cajero/a calamares calcetín calculadora calefacción (central) calentar calidad caliente callado callarse calle (sin salida) calor calzoncillos cama (individual / de matrimonio) ¡camarero/a!
