Vocabulary - A Smorgasbord of Words! (Part 4)

This Spanish Medium Review quiz will present you with some word trivia. In other words, a smorgasbord of words. At least by making it to this quiz, which is the fourth and last quiz in the smorgasbord of words quiz series, you are seeing the end in sight! Well, that is for now as you still have a long way to go towards learning Spanish and, hopefully, one day even becoming fluent in Spanish.

As you have been hopefully following along with this mini-subseries of smorgasbord quizzes, you should be well versed in how they work. Each one has been designed to help pull out information stored in your head as to Spanish vocabulary words, spelling, gender, conjugation and even a few rules here and there. There’s a lot of information hidden in that brain of yours.

At this point, all of the information you have acquired is still new, sometime a little confusing, and definitely not quite comfortable to you yet. Certainly not like English is. The good news is that if you stick with learning Spanish and you practice, practice, practice, you will reach that same comfortable level that you now have with your native tongue. This challenging subseries has been giving you a little push to reach that level of being comfortable. So now let’s look at what this quiz has to offer.

As you found in the three previous quizzes, the quiz questions and/or sentences can be about anything having to do with Spanish. That includes translating a single word or group of words either from English to Spanish or from Spanish to English. It could involve you digging into the recess of your mind to find a word that will answer a question. Some sentences may even require you to swap words that mean the opposite thing. Your brain is really going to have to work to determine just what it is that you need to do. The four given answers will help you to make that determination. Now, if you are up to the challenge, you may begin the quiz!
