A Frequеncy Dictionаry of Spаnish

A Frequency Dictionary of Spanish is an invaluable tool for all learners of Spanish that provides a list of the 5,000 most commonly used words in the language. Each entry is accompanied with an illustrative example and full English translation.

This Spanish frequency dictionary is intended to be used as a learning tool in conjunction with other learning tools, i.e. a good Spanish/English dictionary, a good textbook, and other support material that can be helpful for learning Spanish.

The principal information the book can provide is to know which vocabulary items to concentrate on at various stages of the learning process.

Simply selecting a certain number of words and memorizing them may not be as productive as selecting those words and using them as the basis for a discovery experience.

• Look them up in a Spanish/English dictionary and read the entries.

• Find them in the index of your textbook and see how they are used there.

• Develop a small corpus of your own using Internet material and find the words there as they are used in authentic contexts.

As you achieve mastery in more and more of the words in the dictionary, the better you will be able to understand and speak the Spanish language.
