Frequency List?
Hi
I have a strategy. I am attending a pre-intermediate class. I have purchsed software which will allow me to listen and speak. My 3rd and final frontier will be to learn vocabulary and for that I would be grateful if I could source a list of the 1000 (or 2 or 3) most used words in the language. I have a technique where I can list them 100 at a time and go across a page hiding the previous column, interpreting them from Spanish - English - Spanish - English say about 5 times. I'll hit 100 words each day and when I have finished that, I'll do the same until I get to 1000. Then I'll go back and start again with the first 100 until I have mastered the 1000. Then I'll move on. So if someone could provide a list of these, with English interpretations, then I would be most grateful. Gracias! |

Learning vocabulary from lists doesn't make much sense to me, but there are many such lists on the internet.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktio...ts/Spanish1000 (this is a frequency list, and contains 10,000 words) http://quizlet.com/50590/1000-top-us...s-flash-cards/ http://wordsgalore.com/wordsgalore/l...anish1000.html http://www.101languages.net/spanish/...spanish-words/ http://www.englishnspanish.com/learn/words |

Focus on verbs.
to be able to = poder to be = ser or estar to want = querer there are/is = hay (the verb haber) to have = tener to go = ir You may want to master the tenses of all these verbs. The nouns are pretty easy because many of them have the same roots as English nouns.

Thanks folks.
Over the past few weeks I have learned the present tense conjugations of the top 25 ar verbs, the top 25 er verbs and the top 25 ir verbs. I understand them and have reviewed the other moods so know what I have to learn. My strategy now is to get a vocabulary. I reckon I will know the top 1000 words in about 3-4 weeks. From there, I can start reading newspapers etc. All the while I will be attending a class and listening to this listening / speaking only software. Since I posted above, I have broken the top 1000 words from wiktionary onto 20 no. 50 word tables. This is just an element of my approach and will hopefully provide a good base. Thanks though - full steam ahead. I know it may take me a year to have any conversational Spanish, but I will keep plugging away. Gracias El Lobo |
