I then tried adding words to an A5 diary, but the diary page filled up too fast and I want to keep my Spanish words separate. So I have now started a new A5 notebook. This will be too big, bulky and heavy, to carry in my carry on luggage on the plane, and on outings, hiking, but I shall make a second smaller notebook for my pocket when out and about. I shall note down words from bilingual signs.

I have included the common words I already know. In fact, I find it easier to start with words I already know. It gives me confidence, motivation, enthusiasm, gets me started on the task.
