200+ List of the Most Common German Words

By OptiLingo • 10 minute read

List of the most common German words

When you learn a new language, you need to know the core vocabulary. Without these words, you can’t form sentences, and can’t express your ideas. But, once you add these German words to your vocabulary, you’re guaranteed to reach fluency. And if you add the right words, you’ll achieve your goals even faster. Here’s why you should focus on the most common vocabulary, and then a list of 200+ of those words in German.

Fluency Isn’t About How Many Words You Know

A lot of students try to cram in as many words as they can. They brag that they learned hundreds of new German words, and they even know the most obscure words in German. Good for them. But, this doesn’t mean they’re fluent. If they try to whip up their newfound knowledge in a real conversation, they’ll fall flat.

That’s because fluency isn’t about how many German words you know. It’s about knowing the right German words. Learning only the most common and most used German words doesn’t just make you a good conversation partner. You’ll also reach fluency much faster.

Psst! Did you know we have a language learning app?

You’re only one click away!

Use the 80/20 Principle to Learn Common German Words

If you don’t believe me that you should only concentrate on the most common words, hopefully, you’ll believe science. 80% of everyday German conversations comes from 20% of the total vocabulary. It’s called the Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule. And you can use this to reach fluency faster.

If you only learn that 20% of the German language, you can take part in 80% of the conversations. So, with only a little effort, you can have a lot of success already. But, which exact words are part of that 20%?

Well, the following list includes the most 200 common German words. That’s a great start. But, if you’re hungry for more, you can easily access the full list with the OptiLingo app. This reliable language learning method gives you pronunciation practice and a list of the most useful German vocabulary at the same time.

How to Learn This List of Common German Words

Now you’ve got 222 German words. That’s great, but what’s next? Well, you need to learn them. Having them here, or even on a piece of paper won’t make this knowledge yours. So, how can you learn these German words fast and effectively? Here are a few tricks you can use to commit them to your long term memory effortlessly:

  • Don’t cram! Let’s start off with what not to do. Never, under any circumstances, try to cram German vocabulary. Forcing yourself to remember a lot in a short time only leads to two things: you’ll hate your lessons and you won’t actually commit them to your long term memory. Try one of the following techniques instead:
  • Try chunking: Chunking is a great memory aid. Try to divide this German vocabulary list into smaller and more manageable groups. These can be by categories or topics too. Then, you learn the groups one by one. Smaller and more achievable tasks get you to success steadily.
  • Use spaced repetition: Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could hack your brain to store all this information? Well, you actually can. With spaced repetition, you can remember anything you want. It’s a simple trick that not many know about. You just periodically review this list of German words. Every time you come back to read these, you’ll reinforce your German knowledge. Soon, you can recall all 222 of these German words effortlessly.
  • Write it all down: Handwriting is linked to tactile learning. If you write these words down by hand you’ll remember them better.
  • Say them out loud: The only way to reach fluency is by speaking a lot. Practice your German pronunciation. The more you say these German words, the more it sticks to your memory. And you’ll also get more comfortable with the language.
