Is It possible to have a Book with the 500 Words ?
This verb list comes from Randall Jones & Erwin Tschirner’s A Frequency Dictionary of German. Core Vocabulary for Learners, which lists the 4034 (!) most commonly used words in German, if you are interested in owning the book.
Other lists based on different corpora are freely available, e.g. the 2001 word list from the Projekt Deutscher Wortschatz at the Uni Leipzig (http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/html/wliste.html) or the more recent list put out by the Institut für Deutsche Sprache Mannheim (http://www1.ids-mannheim.de/kl/projekte/methoden/derewo.html). Neither of these lists are as richly developed as the Tschirner and Jones Frequency Dictionary of German, but one or the other may serve your purpose.
I’ll be posting some fun activities and downloads for practicing most frequent words in the near future. Stay tuned! :)
Danke :)
