What's this?

A little reflection daily about my language acquisition

326

I had a go at the 100 most-common words in Spanish. I started listed them, with their English equivalents. But that was a mistake, as it quickly bored me.

Out of context, I couldn’t recognize them. And yet in context I do. Some of them repeated. Some of them had no English word that corresponded—just stuff like ‘the 3rd person singular indirect object pronoun’ sort of thing. Stuff that. It just got annoying, so by the time I got down to number 30 or 40 I quit.


But ‘no problemo’. I just need to potter about in another style.
