Para poder comunicarte de manera avanzada en otro idioma, hace falta tener un conocimiento mínimo de al menos 10.000 palabras. Sin embargo, entre las miles y miles de palabras que conocemos en nuestra lengua materna, existen algunas que son activas y otras que son pasivas, lo mismo ocurre con una lengua extranjera.
Resulta curioso, pero mientras nos encontramos en la etapa inicial del aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa podemos llegar a comunicarnos de manera efectiva con un mínimo de 400 palabras. Y es que, tomando el ejemplo anterior, incluso un niño de 3 años cuenta con un vocabulario que consiste en no más de 100 palabras, con las cuales ya puede crear oraciones o frases cortas. ¿Por qué no aplicar esto al aprendizaje del inglés?
Con la finalidad de que puedas comenzar a comprender textos e incluso conversaciones en la lengua inglesa, en el blog de Trinity hemos creado un listado con 400 de las palabras más importantes de la lengua inglesa que podrás usar como apoyo para comenzar a formular oraciones y comunicarte mientras aprendes a dominar mejor el idioma.
