The 1000 most common German words
Deutsch · ranked by frequency · with English translations
German is the most widely spoken first language in the European Union — about 95 million speakers across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and parts of Belgium and Italy. It is closely related to English, and the family resemblance is obvious in the commonest words: Wasser, Haus, Buch, trinken.
Two things make German vocabulary different from a Romance language's. Nouns have one of three genders and are capitalised wherever they appear, so learning a noun means learning der, die or das with it. And compounds are built freely and read left to right, so a long word you have never seen is often two or three words you already know, stacked.
Learn them in this order, not alphabetically
Verbavia teaches these words in this order, with the grammar that holds them together, stories built from words you already know, and spaced review that brings each one back before you forget it. One lesson a day, free.
How many of these do you already know? Take the two-minute German vocabulary test — it samples this list and estimates your vocabulary size.
