Top 100 Common Spanish Sentences
While learning Spanish, we recommend focusing on the most common words in the language. This will help you build a stronger overall vocabulary in the language you’re learning.
When babies first start speaking, they copy what their parents say and how they speak. Typically, humans use the same 500 words in their day-to-day lives, and that’s how babies learn. They take the most common words their parents say and repeat them. It doesn’t matter if their grammar is a little off or if the sentence doesn’t make sense—they’re learning.
So, why should we be any different? Why focus on proper grammar structures when you don’t understand basic vocabulary? That’s where Verbuu comes in—let’s focus on vocabulary and speaking first. Grammar and proper speaking come later. Let’s enjoy the fun part of language learning first!
Here are the top 100 Spanish sentences—don’t forget to make flashcards! Lucky for you, we’ve already created some flashcards you can use for free!
