The 20/80 Rule. Most Common Words. AGAIN

Imagine that with only 20% of vocabulary you could be able to handle 80% of normal conversations. Imagine that instead of trying to memorize 1000 words; 200 would be enough. Imagine that instead of learning and conjugating 100 verbs; 20 would be sufficient.

Well, that’s what the experts call the 20/80 Rule.

Today, I am going to give you again a list of words with the most common words in Spanish.

This list has been generated from subtitles of movies and television series with a total of about 27.4 million words. So, take it seriously 😉

TED Talks. PARTE II

¡Hola amigos! ¿How are you guys doing? ¿Did you watch the five previous videos? I hope you did!
