Core Vocabulary List What follows is a list of essential vocabulary as established by Spanish memorization expert and linguist Ramón Campayo. I have modified the list based on my own experience in learning languages. One important thing to understand when working with the list is that no one can really establish an official list that represents the essential vocabulary for everyone. Depending on your personal situation and the country you will be visiting, the essential vocabulary you will need will vary. You will have to evaluate what is most important to you, and prioritize yourself which words should be learned first. The words with a star (*) next to them are considered more important than those without. Since the words are grouped in fairly related categories, each new section starts with a word of a new color, to indicated a series of word of related meanings. Words are given in English, although I do not assume that your native tongue is necessarily English. If you understand better another language, you may write the equivalent in your language next to the English word. “Target Language” means the language you will be trying to learn. “Pronunciation” is the phonetics of the words, how it is supposed to be pronounced. For example, a student of English will have to note that in the word “subtle” the “b” is not pronounced. So write down the pronunciation of the word based on your alphabet or the phonetic pronunciation given for the language. In the space for “mnemonic” I want you to note the mnemonic you have chosen to use for this word. Remember, even a lousy mnemonic will be better than no mnemonic! Sometimes you won’t need a mnemonic. For example, it doesn’t take a big memorization effort to remember that “constitución” in Spanish means “constitution”. So don’t use mnemonics for words with obvious meanings. The way to work with the list is to every day establish a goal of learning a certain number of words from the list, until you have completed the entire list. In your first week of learning, this is all that you’re going to do, in addition to making sure you get the basic pronunciation right. Eventually, you should break free from this list and expand your vocabulary using the organic methods of learning that includes a combination of audio courses, flash cards, reading, studying grammar, etc. Free free to also transfer the words you are trying to learn to flash cards, or simply carry around the list to practice. Note that certain words given won’t necessarily have an equivalent in your target language, or may have a distinction that English doesn’t include. For example, the word “she” and “he” are the same in Chinese, Indonesian, and many other languages. But in Spanish, the verb “to be” is expressed by not one but two verbs (ser and estar), with a distinctive meaning for each. So make sure you note these differences whenever possible. There are also differences in the way certain actions are expressed in different languages. For example, the expression “to eat lunch” is expressed in French as just one verb ,déjeûner or dîner (depending on the region). So even though “to eat lunch” is not a verb in itself (“to eat” is the verb), I have included the expression under “verb” because of the fact that you may encounter it as a verb in your target language. If not, write down the appropriate expression.  VERY BASIC VERBS Native Français Target Pronunciation Mnemonic Language Language Être 있다 (itda) * To Be Avoir 가지다 (gajida) * To Have Il y a 있다 (itda) * “There Is” OTHER BASIC VERBS Native Français Target Pronunciation Mnemonic Language Language Vouloir 원하다 (wonhada) * To Want Aimer * To Love 사랑하다 (saranghada) Aider * To Help 돕다 (dobda) Essayer 시도하다 * To Try (sidohada) Obtenir 얻다 (eotda) * To Get Demander 묻다 (mutda) * To Ask Nécessiter, avoir 필요하다 * To Need besoin (piryohada) Vivre 살다 (salda) * To Live Naître 태어나다 * To be born (taeeonada)  VERBS (CONTINUED ) Native Français Target Pronunciatio Mnemoni Languag Languag n c e e Grandir * To grow 자라다 (jarada) up Mourir 죽다 (jukda) * To die Sentir 죽다 (jukda) * To Feel Avoir mal 아프다 (apeuda) * To Hurt Guérir 치료하다 * To Cure (chiryohada) Notes: “To be born” in many language is one verb without the use of “to be”. (Ex. Spanish “Nacer”) “To Grow Up” is also one verb in most languages without the use of the particle “up”. Many verbs that are in a passive form in one language are in an active form in another. Simply use the equivalent form.
