Therefore, as a Spanish beginner, you’ll want to learn words that appear most frequently in day-to-day use by native Spanish speakers. The principle of “word frequency” applies the same to the Spanish language, too. For example, if you’re an English native speaker, you’ve probably never heard of the words “kakorrhaphiophobia”, “ulotrichous” or “impignorate”, but these are English words found in many English dictionaries. In fact, you may not even use or know thousands of words in the dictionary of your own native language. On the other hand, you ignore the majority of words that are in the dictionary. You only use a small amount of available words in your daily life. Just think about how you use your own native language. But when we analyze the frequency of each of those words in speech, books and other media, we realize that not every word has the same value for learning. This is very overwhelming! According to Diccionario de la lengua española de la Real Academia Española (23rd edition, 2014), there are at least 93,000 Spanish words that you could learn. In the Spanish language alone, there are already tens of thousands of individual words that you could potentially learn. We believe that this the most efficient way to learn Spanish vocabulary. “Word frequency” refers to how frequent or how often a given word is used in a certain language. This means that you should learn Spanish words according to word frequency.
If you’re a beginner Spanish learner, then you should first learn words that give you the highest yield for your time and effort.
