I have always wanted something like this to offer you, and now someone else has created it… and made it free.
Best of all, it’s a great tool for understanding more of what people say to you.
You know, having a good vocabulary goes a long way to understanding more Spanish, especially when your friends speak fast. The trouble is most books have words listed by themes. If you are not careful, you can learn a bunch of words you’ll hardly ever use.
It’s very common that people learn word in lists. They know how to say in Spanish things like bobby pin, headband and hairclip. The trouble is that unless you’re a hairstylist those words won’t get you very far.
Instead, it’s much better to learn the most frequently used words first. You see, studies have shown that as few as 100 words are used in 50% of all Spanish communication
That’s why in Shortcut to Spanish, as well as over 3000 instant Spanish words, I also built in the 100 most common words.
Likewise, in Synergy Spanish you can learn to combine Synergy Verbs with Brick and Mortar Words to make as many as 88,000 phrases from just 138 words.
High frequency Spanish words are great for your listening and reading skills as well.
Learn the 1000 most common words and you’ll make a lot more sense out of the Spanish you read and hear… Even when people speak fast.
I have often thought about creating a product to teach the 1000 most common Spanish words as quickly as possible.
Well it looks like someone has beat me to it and done it very well.
Plus, they are giving it away.
Yes, I just found a piece of software that makes it easy to learn the 1000 most common Spanish words, y es gratis.
Click here to download Wordgalore software and start learning the 1000 most common Spanish words. (3.5MB)

Here’s where it comes from Wordgalore if you want to thank the author.
Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
I am not sure where you are getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more. Thanks for fantastic information I was looking for this information for my mission.
Here it is March 2011, and I just found this WordsGalore URL, thanks to your Email of today, 33.3.2011. Fantastic. As an owner of Shortcut to Spanish, Synergy Spanish, Informal Spanish, and more, I am a devoted student of Marcus’.
Like to hear more about the synergy spanish.
Thanks for your wonderful website, and for WordsGalore, both of which are very helpful in learning spanish.
Dear Marcus,
I purchased Synergy Spanish level 2 and I have not received confirmation from you of receipt or password to enable me to obtain downloads. I did however get a receipt from paypal, receipt no: 5122237775328958. Can you please confirm if you have received payment or contact paypal to resolve this problem.
Regards,
Paul
hy dude that is realy great
gracieas marcus!
Thanks for such good stuffs, that enhance my spanish. gracias.
yo aprendi español, con un curso autodidacta, como lo aprenden los niños, y fue muy sencillo, aunque el español es un idioma muy dificil.
gracias y sigan adelante ayudando a la people.
Had no problems opening the file. This is will be very helpful. Gracias, Marcus!
I have tried the exercises you have proposed ,and I find it wonderful
Thank you marcus
Have downloaded the 1000 words, cannot open it though. Keep getting messages saying there are loads of threats
Thanks for the link Marcus.
Can’t open download of 1000 words. What a shame!
Sorry,… I forget that this website needs volunteer readers in order to record themselves reading the English texts and the Spanish texts are reading by Spanish natives.
An accent doesn´t matter, because the same texts can be listened to in different accents.

See you!!!
Gracias y buena suerte!!!
very good, thank you so much
Hola Marcus,
Soy español, de las Islas Canarias y estudio inglés con tu método.
He leído que necesitan audios en MP3 en español castellano. En este sitio web los puedes solicitar gratuitamente a hablantes nativos. Todo es gratis!!!
http://es.forvo.com/
¡¡Nos vemos por allí!!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Hello Marcus,
I am Spanish, from the Canary Islands (Spain) and I am learning English with your method.
I’ve just read that you need MP3 audios from natives of Spain (Spanish Castilian) and in this website you can request them. It is ALL FREE!!!
http://es.forvo.com/
See you over there!!!
Hola Marcus,
Well, I guess sometimes, you don’t know what you open up with a simple statement. I think, as a gringo living in Mexico, having the ability to have a few phrases to try and get my point across is a great start. For sure they know I’m an Anglo, not really a Mexican, but I don’t have to open my mouth to tell them that. So, I have to get my act together, take advantage of all the free stuff you have given me. For sure I will sign up for one of your programs.
I’d like to see it available to Mac users…..
Great lesson with more useful words, Thank U Marcus.
Not for MAC–darn.
PJ O’Malley, congratuations for never having made a typographical error in you otherwise perfect life! Small minded people spend their lives waiting to point out other’s mistakes, others look for the overall message glean the good from it. Get over yourself.
eternalman (infernalman?) What’s racist about offering another site for free that helps people?) You’re a dick.
Paul, what’s your point? Insipid cryptic messages only indicate your lack of ability to string a compete thought together.
The word Galore was interesting. I am still becoming familar with the operation of Wordgalore but it is a good tool. I took the first test and got 17 out of 20 thanks to Senergy Spanish.
Hi Marcus
Brave of you to share wordsgalore with us all, I agree with Gloria’s words. I have used wordsgalore once sound quality is good and great fun it is too, but it lacks phrases and context that you use in your lessons.
Thank you again for helping make my spanish dream come true. Michael
Hi Dede and the other mac users
Marcus here,
I didn’t create Wordsgalore, so I have no control over whether they make a version for Mac or not.
By the way, my courses have PDF and MP3 files, which are compatable with Macs.
One more thing, thanks anders for the comment…
This page has the 1000 most frequent words from Wordsgalore
http://wordsgalore.com/wordsgalore/languages/spanish/spanish1000.html
Marcus – When are you going to get it together for us Mac users? I’ve been checking in with Synergy Spanish (responding to your e-mails)every once in a while (for literally years) when something like your “wordsgalore” offering piques my interest…only to be disappointed again! You are missing a very big part of your potential classroom/audience. Please consider doing more to insure that we Mac folks are included! Otherwise, you are doing a wonderful job. Sincerely, Dede
Is there a Mac OSX version of WordGalore?
Dear Marcus. I am at a loss for words…. Again and again you have shared your knowledge of the spanish language. Thank you for sending me the link to this wonderful program. I have tried it and it is a useful tool for learning new vocabulary. I too, will not leave your program as your love for sharing this language has made you many friends from all walks of life and from all over the world. I look forward to your e-mails. Thanks again!!!
Gloria, Halifax, NS, Canada
Thank you. This is great, and fun. There are a number of free learning sites but the combination of audio and visual with this download is what makes it a very useful tool for learning and correcting pronunciation and the self-testing is great for memorization and the ear training. It is amazing that it is free!!!! Thank you for sharing this information and as others have said, you have a brilliant mind and there will be other great ideas from you.
Thank you Marcus for this, finding it fantastic for my vocabulary, but I won’t be leaving you. You can’t really have a conversation unless you know how to put that word into a sentence, and your the genius at showing us how that’s done !!. Thanks again
muchas gracias! es fantastico!
Looks like you got enough comments, but
another won’t hurt.Thanks Thanks THANKS
wordsgalore is a vary good tool.
Hi it’s all so good, I extend my thanks to you I never believed I could speak spanish at all never mind so qickly.
muhas gracias
I downloaded it and tried a few tests, but I kept getting wrong answers because the programme is in US English and of course everyone knows that US English is spelt quite differently from Queens English, so I exited from the programme (por exemplo – programme was marked incorrect because I did not spell it program)I think you are doing a great job Marcus. You should register your ideas immediately on Intellectual Rights, and then if someone else does copy them you can claim royalties. You will find it on t’internet)
Hello,
Some of the words are americanised, and are not real Spanish as spoken in Spain.
It would be helpful if the word as spoken in Spain were added. Thank you
Very good to learn the Spanish words and to remember them with mp3 audio, hearing how the word is spelt. Brilliant idea. Thank you so much.
Muchas gracias marcus you really are an asset to the learning of the language when my interest begins to wane you come up with something as selfless as worgalore de nuevo gracias.
Marcus, I would like to thank you for keeping me on your mailing list and sharing all these wonderful ideas you have for learning spanish.please keep it up.p.s. I’m just going to download your latest offer gratis.gracia amigo!!

I too have a Mac and it came coded,
I am sooo disappointed. If you know how
to fix the problem, please let me know.
Many thanks Marcus.
Phylis
Was unable to download the Spanish 1000, or the 9000 words. It is encoded
Hola Marcus, thank you so much. You are a genius. I never thought learning Spanish could be this easy. Suddenly I know so many words and can create many more using your method of changing English to Spanish. This is the best way to learn a language.
Muchas gracias Marcus.
It’s excellent. very good idea and you’re so smart. Thank you so much.
Saludos
Jim
Thanks, it is good to know that there are people who like to help.
I find that so many sites if you don’t pay they don’t want to know, a shortsighted view I think. Forgetting that some of us cannot always pay.At 83 I am enjoying this thanks again.
hmm this program is exellent and if you got the idea to.. then you take there idea.. nobody can steel something you dont have in real.. so it is pity that you use this phrases “stolen” because your own program is exelent so stop this nonsense frases in is not you worth ole
Hola Marcus, Just when I thought I had seen it all, something comes along to astound me. I have done two of your courses, Synergy, and Shortcut to Spanish, both brilliant, but after reading some of the previous comments, there are still knockers. I am sure if some people were given a million dollars, they would complain because it wasn’t more. To me, you are a genius; you’ve made learning Spanish fun. Don’t give up. Buena suerte
Words Galore is just another program that possibly has it’s uses, but as a fellow teacher, nothing I have seen to date compares to yours. Please keep up your good work. I have tried several programs over the last 12 years, and yours IS THE BEST.
Marcus,
I like learning this way thanks!!!
Elisa
Thanks anyway
