How would you feel if someone taught a foreign exchange student at your house the word 'antidisestablishmentarianism'? You would say 'Why did they teach you that word?' 'It isn't even English.' 'No one even knows what it means.' The fact is that it is English, but it is a low frequency word. All languages are literally cluttered with tens of thousands nearly useless low frequency words and structures that the average student must stumble over. The problem is that many foreign language authors and teachers love to teach their students such words because they think they sound neat, and as a result their students never learn to really communicate in a second language. Fortunately for us, all languages also have little gems called 'high frequency' words which are used thousands of times more often than other words and structures and are therefore much more valuable to the language learner because they increase communicative ability in a minimum of time. Ingls Americano contains only high frequency language in its more than 200 pages.« less
