The
most frequent German words (these 200 or so words
make up 1/3 to 1/2 of almost any German text!)
-
If you would like to systematically learn the 4,000 most frequent German words, an excellent resource is A Frequency Dictionary of German, by Randall L. Jones and Erwin Tschirner, published by Routledge in 2006, ISBN: 0-415-31632-4. The 4,000 most frequent German words are listed in order, and alphabetically in the index, and an example sentence is given for each word.

Basic "Wie geht's?" Vocabulary
CLIP2GO This is a great site for building vocabulary by looking at words and their translations and hearing them pronounced: choose words either individually, or based on word lists they provide, organized by topic or e.g. based on famous poems. Meanings of the words are shown when you roll the mouse over them, and any word with a "target"-symbol next to it has been recorded and you can listen to it by clicking on the target. Set "your language" to German and then search for any random German word in order to get German word lists to choose from rather than English ones. Before using the site for the first time, you might want to follow the "About Clip2Go" link for information on how to navigate the site.
German
Word of the Day Sites
These
usually include a translation and a sample sentence
with the word.
- Transparent
Language Word of the Day
- about.com
This page includes a link to free newsletters providing
introductory language and vocabulary lessons
- about.com
Wort des Tages für Anfänger [=Beginners]
This page also includes a link to a "Tipp des
Tages" for German learners
- travlang
No sample sentences, but you can hear the word spoken
very clearly, and also see the word's equivalent in
many other languages
- kitchenproject
This page looks like it has no content, but if you
scroll down, you'll find some links, including a form
that lets you sign up for a "German Word of the
Day Newsletter." I haven't tried this myself,
though.
- langtolang.com
Lists a word of the day in various languages at the
bottom right of the page, unfortunately without a
pronunciation link or sample sentences. You can, however,
sign up to get the word of the day emailed to you
each day. I'm not sure if this would result in lots
of SPAM, or if the emails would include ads etc.
