Based on a new web-based corpus containing more than 2 billion words collected from 21 Spanish-speaking countries, the second edition of A Frequency Dictionary of Spanish provides the most expansive and up-to-date guidelines on Spanish vocabulary. Each entry is accompanied with an illustrative example and full English translation. The Dictionary provides a rich resource for language teaching and curriculum design, while former CD content is now available to access at www.routledge.com/9781138686540 as support material to provide the full text in a tab-delimited format ideally suited for use by corpus and computational linguistics. With entries arranged both by frequency and alphabetically, A Frequency Dictionary of Spanish enables students of all levels to get the most out of their study of vocabulary in an engaging and efficient way. Review: Almost Perfect! - As my title says, this frequency dictionary is almost perfect. Let me get the only flaw out of the way first: there are a bunch of typos. Some words are misspelled and there are other cases where incorrect words are used in sentences. However, I’m still 100% satisfied with it and gave it 5 stars. It has a 5000 word frequency list based based on recent sources that include fiction, non-fiction, blogs, internet, and spoken sources such as news and media. The sources are from Mexico, Spain, and dozens of other countries. Each entry has a corresponding English word, part of speech, and example sentence in Spanish (with English translation). It also, when applicable, tells you if the word is part of a common phrase or idiom. If the word is an Usted form, it notes that. The font is very readable and clean. Definitely a new design. The cover has a very smooth, unique texture. Overall it has a well-designed feel when you hold it. Some other features that need to be noted: 1) It has a nice preface which explains the goal and methodology of this frequency dictionary, 2) scattered throughout the book are theme-based word boxes such as “foods” or “body parts”, 3) towards back of book it further lists ALL words in the dictionary by part of speech (noun etc) and also alphabetically. Any beginner to intermediate Spanish student or learner MUST get this. Don’t waste time studying words you’ll never see. If you can learn the first 1000 words in this book, you’ve learned 85% of the language. Just learn grammar, immerse yourself in Spanish with real speakers, and you’ll be set. Buena suerte a todos! Review: Even Better than the First Edition - I loved the first edition of this book, and I had opportunity to use the frequency corpus itself for research some years ago. When this volume arrived, I found that the updates for the second edition make this book even more useful and interesting. Not only has the corpus (from which the dictionary pulls its data) been expanded, but it also now includes more modern terminology and internet discourse. One of the best features of both this and the prior edition are the tables of words by theme, usage, part of speech, and so forth. I don't know that this would be the *best* book for the average beginning Spanish learner--this book is not intended to teach the structure of Spanish--but for intermediate students looking to improve their vocabulary, advanced learners who want to explore lexical differences in discourse styles, and professionals and linguophiles looking to delve into the details of the Spanish lexicon, this is THE book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #113,456 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Journalism #46 in Spanish Language Instruction (Books) #65 in Journalism Writing Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 131 Reviews | ## Images ![A Frequency Dictionary of Spanish (Routledge Frequency Dictionaries) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51S6ppiIJxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost Perfect! *by T***H on October 10, 2021* As my title says, this frequency dictionary is almost perfect.

It’s organized by the FREQUENCY of words, more basic and common words at the front, more abstract and obscure ones at the back. It is good to test my level of fluency and actually see how many of the words I recognize and to help grow your vocabulary ## Frequently Bought Together - A Frequency Dictionary of Spanish (Routledge Frequency Dictionaries) - Lonely Planet Latin American Spanish Phrasebook & Dictionary --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/72875184-a-frequency-dictionary-of-spanish-routledge-frequency-dictionaries](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/72875184-a-frequency-dictionary-of-spanish-routledge-frequency-dictionaries) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
