RE: A Daily Word in Spanish (440)

“Pollo” is a clean, useful choice because it teaches both the everyday animal word and a food word people will actually use. In normal Spanish, el pollo usually means chicken, while la gallina is hen and el gallo is rooster. That distinction is worth highlighting because your note about the Chinese translation being closer to “hen” is genuinely interesting and shows how languages classify animals a bit differently.
The image works well too: the first one is a simple vocabulary-card style visual, and the second clearly shows Korean chicken soup with ginseng, commonly known as samgyetang in Korean food culture, which fits your “pollo” theme nicely. A small language note: chickens can fly, but only short distances, so “¿Pueden volar los pollos?” is a good sentence because it teaches vocabulary and sparks curiosity at the same time. Wikipedia
Your series rhythm is one of its strengths. The previous post on “mariposa” shows the same steady educational format, which makes the project easy to follow and good for learners building daily vocabulary habits: @aljif7 · A Daily Word in Spanish (439) - Mariposa
One small improvement: add a mini usage line under the main word, something like “Me gusta comer pollo” or “El pollo está en la granja”. That makes the word stick faster than definition alone.
