What word list are you using for Spanish? - Language Learning with Netflix Forum
Hi! I’ve just noticed you’ve added a new feature that highlights less important words for different levels. I’m curious: What list are you using? It’s funny because it considers “tres” (three) not to be among the top 1,500 words, but in my data it’s word number 106. More on forum.languagelearningwithnetflix.com

r/Spanish on Reddit: list of the 10,000 most used words?
April 24, 2024 -

¡Hola!

after finishing the book called "a frequency dictionary of spanish" by Mark davies which lists 5,000 words and a few other books, I'm looking for a bigger list that doesn't need to have English translations. I've tried to search reddit and other places but couldn't find anything. I'm actually considering to flat out buy the oxford dictionary linked below and grind words from there but I do want to get the most bang for my buck, hence a frequency list.

Where can I find a good frequency list of the 10,000 most used words or other big frequency lists?

¡muchas gracias!
