This list of the thousand most common French words is the result of a statistical analysis that we did on a large collection of French texts (including news articles and other articles on the internet).
You’ll notice plenty of French words that are similar to their English translations; those words make it easier to learn French (when you already speak English).
This vocabulary list is sorted by frequency, with the most common word appearing at the top of the list.
You will notice that frequently used words tend to be shorter, a phenomenon that holds true for most languages and which is known in linguistics as Zipf’s law of abbreviation or the brevity law.
