Beginner Hack: Learn The 100 Most Common Spanish Words

If you are a beginner student, then learning the 100 most common Spanish words first is a no-brainer.

In fact, at BaseLang HQ, we are big believers in the 80/20 rule.

If you never heard about the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, then the idea is that 80% of the results come from 20% of the inputs.

If we apply this rule to language learning, then it would mean that 20% of  Spanish is used 80% of the time.

At BaseLang, our philosophy is based on teaching students the most important things that they need to speak Spanish in the real world first, as opposed to the old school textbook approach which tends to overwhelm students with unnecessary theory that’s not needed until a later stage.

In a separate post, we already outlined the 45 most common Spanish verbs that every beginner should learn.

In this post, we are going to exclude verbs and instead cover the remaining 100 most commonly used Spanish words which include nouns, prepositions, articles, connectors and more.

Let’s dive in.

And there you have it – the 100 most common words in Spanish.
