Copying Lists Of Words Quickly And Accurately

To make a list of your favourite or recently learned words, first in Spanish - English, then English- Spanish, there are several ways to do it.

In a Powerpoint slide you can make columns. But here where you are reading in blogspot (created in blogger) I have made a list of Spanish first, then English first. I used to write out my Spanish word list which I copied from a handwriting in a notebook, or my diary. 

Then I would spend ages creating the English-Spanish list. This is not necessarily the same alphabetical order, since frase in Spanish starts with f but the English word phrase starts with p. 

If I had more than ten items, I had to keep spinning up and down and counting the numbers of words in both sets. 

I typed out both the Spanish and English in the second list, with more typos, checking, correcting.

Then I started copying from the first list. At least I had half, the Spanish half, correctly typed. Once I made the mistake of copying the same pair twice horizontally. I deleted the unwanted part at the start and end and realised that I could copy the Spanish English twice deliberately. I had both the English and Spanish in the right order in the middle.

Another system is to type the words in alphab3tical order in a translate website and copy the coloumn.
