The most frequent words make up a lot of the language and thus are very important to learn, but we humans like to learn funny or very sad emotional stuff, it seems to stick much better in our brains when we can chuckle or shudder over a sentence.
NOW: Let's not make the task too difficult and try to formulate sentences using the 300 most frequent words, with the occasional use of a words ranked between 300-1000 or totally outside, that make some sense. And then we try to come up with the tasty ones, ok?
Are you with me? All practitioners can use the english sentences we produce, funny or not. If someone likes to do the same for a different language, that would be great too!
Here we go the first 300 words used in different areas according to COCA:
