I have decided to learn around 5000 of the most common Spanish (from Spain) words. Where can I find an electronic list of such words with their translations, even in a spreadsheet, word file, or text file?
I had been using the 6000+ Essential Spanish Words book but since I am going to be entering the words into Supermemo, I decided it would be much faster if I could find something electronic. I do not have the CD that comes with the book so don't know if the words are in a format that are easily exportable. However, there also seems to be a number of mistakes with the translations given, a few of them seemed wrong based on the Spanish that I know and when I would use online dictionaries to translate I would find that sometimes the translation given in the book did not match any of the ones online and some were just incorrect. I did find a Supermemo file that contains 2600 words but I thought that probably I should learn more and I didn't want to learn these 2600 and then find another word list that contained a large number of duplicates.

I have a 10000 word list in Anki. I didn't make it myself and found it through the Anki interface I believe. It does have a few omissions here and there, such as the Spanish word being listed without an English definition.

Thanks for your post. When I get home I will download Anki and find the deck, apparently it contains the 10000 most common words in Spanish sorted by order of frequency! If I find it useful I'll plan on sending a contribution to the author, I wonder how long it took and whether it was a cooperative effort.
How do you find using the 10000 word list? Is it too much? Thanks for pointing this out! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The list is okay and contains a bunch of cognates (such as accident / accidente, etc) which kind of come for free from a learning perspective. My problem with Anki was that the "snowball" of reviews has grown over time to the point that today I would have to review several hundred previously covered words just to get to the new words of the day. Sure, I can mark words as "very easy", but that just postpones the day of reckoning on which there might be several thousand words to review.
