Do you know how many words are there in Spanish?

Generally speaking, nearly one million.

 

So many words are not easy to memorize, let alone properly used. Most of them you won’t even need at all in everyday conversations.

According to researchers, people use only around 10% to 20% of words in their day to day life.

So, if you want to learn Spanish faster, the best solution is learning the most common Spanish words. 

 

Now, let’s see which are the most common Spanish words that can help you learn the language faster, and participate in different conversations.

 

1000 Most Common Spanish Words

 

Studies have shown that learning 1,000 words that are used frequently covers around 88% of the vocabulary. Here, we mean words that are used every day.

Basic Spanish words are vital for every Spanish student.

 

If you expand your vocabulary to  2,000 most common words in Spanish, then you have 92.7%  of the everyday vocabulary covered.

 

Who would think that with only 1,000 or 2,000 words, you would be able to speak about everyday topics?

 

In the following lines, find the list of most common words in Spanish, more than 100 of them. But if you wish to reach your goal of 1,000 words, you can find them HERE.
