At FRENG, we apply our own learning format—modeled on the listening and reading question structure of the TOEIC® Listening & Reading Test—to Spanish as well. All questions in every language, including English, are created independently by FRENG and are not official TOEIC® tests or official questions. Grammar and vocabulary questions are created to match the characteristics of each language.
It's not just repeating the same questions as yesterday. New mock tests are added every day, and the number of questions you can study keeps piling up.
Even if there are 120 minutes' worth of questions each day, you don't have to answer them all.
Just 5 minutes of listening during your commute. Just 10 minutes of reading during lunch break. A few grammar questions on your weak points before bed.
Study today's material at your own pace, as much as you can manage.
We value helping you keep going without overexerting yourself.
TOEIC® is an English proficiency test used in more than 160 countries around the world. It is particularly strong at measuring practical English skills, with an emphasis on communication in business and the workplace.
Rather than simply testing knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, it uses as its subject matter situations actually encountered in business and daily life, such as workplace conversations, meetings, phone calls, business trips, contacting clients, emails, advertisements, and informational notices.
It also consists of 7 Parts that systematically check practical language ability, including questions where you look at a photo and understand the situation, questions where you choose an appropriate response to a question, questions where you listen to and comprehend conversations and announcements, and questions where you read emails and documents and understand their content.
FRENG has applied this practical and systematic TOEIC® question format to Spanish learning.
Drawing on the wide range of business and everyday topics and question structures used in TOEIC®, we provide original learning questions that let you practice listening and reading in Spanish. Rather than simply swapping in Spanish-speaking settings and characters, it is a structure for learning common, U.S.-centered topics in Spanish.
In addition, it combines grammar and vocabulary questions that are important in Spanish learning, such as noun and adjective gender and number, verb conjugation, past tenses, and the subjunctive.
This allows you to train not only vocabulary and grammar memorization, but also comprehensive language skills for listening to, reading, and accurately understanding Spanish content.

TOEIC® is an English test used in more than 160 countries around the world. In Japan and South Korea, many companies use it as a guide for hiring and promotion.
The topics of the questions are all workplace and everyday situations, such as meetings, phone calls, business trips, emails, and notices. For that reason, TOEIC® scores are widely used as a guide to how well someone can understand English in business settings.
The Spanish version of FRENG turns this type of question into Spanish. Because you can listen to and read workplace and everyday situations in the same question format as TOEIC®, it helps you build the ability to understand business situations in Spanish.
Yes. FRENG is a service that provides Spanish learning content for free.
For Spanish, getting used to the sounds is the most efficient approach. Put reading aside for now and start with shadowing. The short sentences are built around situations you would actually encounter, so practice them as many times as you like until they become your own. You don't need to learn grammar rules first. As you listen a lot and speak out loud, you will naturally start to notice unnatural phrasing.
For vocabulary, Word Quest plays audio for each word, so you can solve them even if you can't read the letters.
Beginners can solve Part 1 (Photo questions) and Part 2 (Response questions) of Listening. Part 3 is Conversation questions and Part 4 is Announcement questions. They are harder than Parts 1 and 2, but they are essential for real conversations with Spanish speakers, so be sure to give them a try.
The important thing is to always review after solving Part 3 and Part 4. When you reopen a question you've already solved, you can choose between "Try again" and "View translation." Pressing "View translation" plays the audio of the same question, with subtitles and translation shown at the same time. Repeating this will help it come naturally to you.
Rather than memorizing rules alone, find the forms within example sentences and repeatedly confirm them through short fill-in-the-blank exercises and reading comprehension. It is especially good to focus on practicing "present tense personal conjugations."
Listen to short audio, check the parts you couldn't catch in writing, and then practice the sound groupings through shadowing. Also pay attention to "regional differences and listening comprehension."
In Short text fill-in-the-blank, you repeatedly work on questions that ask you to choose the one that fits the sentence. You can also check how each is used within Reading comprehension.
Instead of trying to memorize everything at once, start practicing with the present tense of commonly used verbs. Choose the forms in Short text fill-in-the-blank and check how they're used in sentences in Reading comprehension.
