The most common 1,000 words in any language account for around 85% of all conversations. Interesting, right?

Despite the huge richness of Spanish — and all the vocabulary you need to learn in order to master the language — learning just 1,000 words will get you to 85% of everything you’ll ever hear or say.

But it gets more interesting...

You see, if you look within those 1,000 words, there’s a small “subset” of just 100 words that are so common you find them literally everywhere — in every single Spanish sentence.

They’re so common, you’d probably find them under the sofa if you looked!

That's why it's essential to learn these words from the beginning. To make this easier for you, I've created a special bonus PDF with 100 of the most important Spanish words you'll need to know.

Of course, you'll see plenty of word frequency lists on the internet, but there are a couple of problems with such lists:

Here’s problem #1: Most frequency lists contain variations of the same verbs. For example, you might see these three in the top 100:

• vas
• va
• fue

(They’re all variations of the verb ir, meaning ‘to go’.)

Not very helpful — it’s a waste of the “top 100”.

Here’s problem #2: Most lists contain little “grammatical” words like in and on. Yes, these words are frequent. But you learn them easily as soon as you start studying Spanish. Again, a bit of a waste of the “top 100”.

So, here’s what I’ve done…

• First, I collated the best “Top 100” Spanish frequency lists I could find, and combined them.
• Then, I removed all grammatical words and variations that aren’t helpful.
• I cut out any words you don’t find often in spoken Spanish.
• And lastly, I did a “sense check” to remove words that I don’t personally consider useful.

What’s left is a bulletproof collection of the 100 most frequent words in spoken Spanish.

I call it the “Golden 100”.

For complete beginners: Use this list from the start, and you’ll fast-track your way to confident speaking by learning the most common words you absolutely need to know.

If you’ve studied some Spanish before: Use the list to plug the gaps in your Spanish vocabulary, and you’ll think: “How on Earth did I NOT know that?!”
