If you are starting a new language, you want basic words you can use immediately. Whether you search for basic Spanish words, basic French words or basic words in another language, the best starting set looks similar.
Basic words are greetings, polite phrases, numbers, days and time, family, food and drink, places, travel, everyday objects and the most common verbs. With these you can introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions and understand simple signs.
The beginner part of the 1000 Words course starts with exactly these everyday topics. You see each word with its translation, hear it and check yourself in a quiz, so you can use it after the first lesson.
Ten minutes a day is enough to start. Repeat yesterday's words before adding new ones, and the basics will be yours within a few weeks.
The same basics are available in 33 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and many others. Pick the language you want, and learn in the language you already speak.
