Perhaps you’re starting your Spanish journey and are looking for the most common Spanish verbs to study.
Or maybe the best and most efficient ways to learn this new language.
There are many websites and resources out there that claim they have the best list for learning the essential verbs.
From my experience of speaking and learning Spanish, I discovered I really only use certain verbs in my daily conversations.
So for this article I will go over 30 of the most common Spanish verbs.
I do not claim this is the ultimate list but knowing these specific verbs has helped me tremendously in recognizing what is being said.
Not only that but how to communicate what I wanted to say easier.
That is why I think these 30 Spanish verbs are a great place to start learning how to speak Spanish.
How Many Spanish Verbs Are There?
Before we get into the list of the 30 most common spanish verbs I wanted to give an overview of how many verbs are there in this language.
Did you know there are about 12,290 Spanish verbs?
This is only an estimate and hopefully these numbers don’t overwhelm you.
They are just a way to show you the possibilities and potential of how many verbs there are to learn and most of the time the majority of them…
Are not even used.
If your goal is to learn how to become conversationally fluent in the language then the majority of the time you won’t use all those verbs.
If you think about your native language and look at the list of the most common verbs, I can guarantee you probably don’t even use half of them.
Not saying they aren’t important, especially if you want to go deep in a language, but when you speak to native speaker they will say the same thing…
“We don’t use that word normally, or we use that in formal writing or text.”
It’s the same thing!
So why not focus on the essentials first?
In fact, it said that to be fluent in a language, at least conversationally, you only need about 3,000 words…
Now I bet that sounds so much better than 12,000 right?
That’s achievable and it all starts with baby steps.
So if you’re ready to get started with knocking out this list of 3000 words then let’s just start off with 1% of that with the 30 common Spanish verbs.
