Why Learn From A Frequency List?

Frequency analysis shows that choosing the 2,000 most common words in any language is a good way to learn that language. Languages have a core set of words that are used more often than other words in everyday speech. This is what frequency lists are based on. This core vocabulary is necessary for everyday communication. Learning the most common words in any language, including Turkish, can help you learn the language faster and better in a number of important ways.

In the first place, learning high-frequency words helps people understand and join in everyday conversations faster, since these conversations usually use a lot of these words. There are immediate benefits, and the learner can quickly improve their ability to understand and use the language in real life.

Second, functional language like prepositions, conjunctions, common verbs and adjectives are often found in high-frequency words. These are the building blocks of language structures and grammar. Learners can more easily figure out what sentences mean and start to understand the new language's syntactical patterns and grammar rules if they know these words.

Third, the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, says that in many areas, about 80% of the effects are caused by 20% of the causes. When it comes to learning a language, a lot of communication can be done with a small number of words. This is just a suggestion and not a hard and fast rule, but it does show that having a small vocabulary can help you communicate a lot, especially when you are first learning a language.

Finally, the psychological benefits of being able to communicate well sooner rather than later can help boost motivation and confidence, both of which are very important for learning a language. When a language learner has early successes with understanding and being understood, it can motivate them to keep studying and take on more difficult language challenges.

Why Bilingual Sample Phrases Help You Learning A Language

To learn a language, you need to be able to understand and use both spoken and written forms of that language. Sample phrases and sentences in both English and Turkish are very important for this process because they do a few important things:

• Contextual learning: bilingual samples give you context by showing you how words and grammar structures are used in real life. This can help you learn more than just studying rules and words on their own.

• Learning New Words: Reading bilingual sentences helps students see how words are used in various situations, which helps them grow their vocabulary and understand subtleties like connotations, collocations, and how often they are used.

• Teaching Grammar: Sample sentences can show how different grammar rules are used and how they work together in a sentence, which is helpful for students who are learning the language.

• Practice Pronunciation: By speaking the phrases out loud, these samples let students hear how to say words and construct sentences in a natural way, which helps them improve their listening skills and correct pronunciation. 

• Comparative learning: Seeing the same thought in two languages next to each other helps students see the similarities and differences in how the ideas are expressed, how the language works, and how the ideas are structured.

• Building Confidence: By showing students clear examples of how language can be used in real life, teachers give them a base to build their own sentences on, which boosts their confidence to talk to others.

• Cleaning up and fixing mistakes: When mistakes are made, bilingual samples can help clear up confusion and fix mistakes by directly comparing the learner's first language to the target language.

The Perfect Size for Travelling
