English to Spanish: Random Words and Phrases
If you want to learn some random words and phrases that you won't find in your typical Spanish class or textbook, then this is the page for you. Since it's all random - the phrases especially are translations you may not have seen before - you never know what you may find. After all, this page is kind of a catch all for any words or phrases that don't yet fit into another category.
Anyway, the page is split into two lists - up first is the list of random English to Spanish words, then below that is the random English to Spanish phrases. If there comes a time where there's many words of a single theme on this page, then it'll probably be given it's own page, so be sure to look out for that.
You can also view these words with translations from Spanish to English. Words in bold added during the last update.
