Introduction
Learning a new language can be challenging, but using the right tools can make the process more manageable and enjoyable. One of the most effective tools for language learners is a frequency list, which helps you focus on the most commonly used words first, allowing for faster and more practical vocabulary acquisition.
What's This?
This list features the most frequently used Spanish verbs, arranged roughly by their frequency of use, with the most common verbs appearing first and the less common ones following.
Why Use Frequency Lists?
Frequency lists are essential for language learners because they help prioritize vocabulary acquisition. By focusing on the most commonly used words, learners can quickly build a functional vocabulary, which significantly enhances their ability to understand and communicate in the target language. This method ensures efficient and effective learning, making it easier to grasp and retain new words.
This list was taken directly from the book below, which I highly recommend. To view the full list, check the book.
