Thread: Most common words/Частотные списки

Hi. Im intresting in this subject, and I want to know that are you think about it.

http://ultrashare.net/hosting/fl/c6395e9f42/5000 - excel file you can download, including most common Russian words I make by one of this list: http://www.artint.ru/projects/frqlist.asp
You can filtered words by the type... verbs, nouns, etc. Is it usefull?

Another link is http://ruscorpora.ru/search-para.html and where http://ruscorpora.ru/en/corpora-intro.html instruction on English. This is very intresting project, I have tryied to use it for translating some phrases. But I think this database much more powerful, then it used now...

So, i think if I'll have database of words with translations (links or Russians and English) and with information about frequncy of use it, it will be very usefull to learn language - for example I'll can change only verbs, or nouns, and study only most common.

Maybe somebody have something like this?

I have found another resources for this subject, but its not that I want:

http://www.alleng.ru/english/word.htm
http://www.alleng.ru/texts/mybook/2500/TOP_1-2500.htm
http://nova-mova.com/3000words.htm

ps. На русском я бы понятнее написал, конечно. Но надо ведь тренироваться

I found it useful. It enabled me to start reading, though with much difficulty at first, English literature in the original.

For my list of English words it wasn't a good idea. It is better to become accustomed from the start that in English the same word can often be a noun, a verb and so on.
