If you could learn 220 words that account for from 50 to 75 percent of the English words used in textbooks, newspapers and magazines, you'd jump to it, right? Well here you go!
This is a link to the Dolch words lists, 11 different sets of 20 words that make up the much of the conversation and writing in everyday life.
The page is directed at young native English speakers but the words are the same whether you are six years old or sixty. I'm planning to do a podcast of each of the 11 sets of words. As soon as I figure out how to publish the podcast here, I will do it. You can then hear how each word is pronounced and soon, you will be on your way to feeling comfortable in English.
I'm sure you already know many of the words and can say them properly. Work on the ones you don't know and soon you will be pretty close to becoming fluent in English. Good luck!
You know I can almost guarantee that you are a lot better at English than you think you are. Don't give up!
