Did you know that by studying the 1000 most frequently used words in a language, you’ll become familiar with 76.0% of all vocabulary in non-fiction literature, 79.6% of all vocabulary in fiction literature, and 87.8% of vocabulary in oral speech? Here are a couple resources I have found to be very useful in expanding my vocabulary:
- This resource outlines the most common words in Italian on a scale of your choosing. From the hundred most common all the way to 1000, you can increase the number of words on the list in increments of a hundred. You can also break down the most common words into specific parts of speech, such as adjectives, nouns, or verbs.
- If the resources listed above are too overwhelming and you want something a little more simple, check out this resource that is just a plain ol’ list of the 100 most common words color coded according to part of speech.
