Build A Spanish Language Flashcard App – Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #168

In this video I’ll show you how build a Spanish Language Flashcard App! I want to learn Spanish, so what better what than by quizzing myself with Spanish Language Flashcards?!

We’ll create a list of Spanish words and their English counterparts, and then randomly select a word from the list and post it to the screen.

The user can then type in the English translation and see whether or not they are correct, or click the hint button to have the English word revealed one letter at a time.

This is a fun one!

Python Code: language.py

from tkinter import *
from random import randint

root = Tk()
root.title('Codemy.com - Spanish Language Flashcards')
root.iconbitmap('c:/gui/codemy.ico')
root.geometry("550x410")

words = [
    (("Hola"), ("Hello")),
    (("Adiós"), ("Goodbye")),
    (("Por favor"), ("Please")),
    (("Gracias"), ("Thank you")),
    (("Lo siento"), ("Sorry")),
    (("Salud"), ("Bless you")),
    (("Sí"), ("Yes")),
    (("No"), ("No")),
    (("¿Quién?"), ("Who")),
    (("¿Qué?"), ("What")),
    (("¿Por qué?"), ("Why")),
    (("¿Dónde?"), ("Where"))
]
