This Latin vocabulary selection is based on Paul Diederich's 300 most frequent Latin words, from his 1938 dissertation, "The frequency of Latin words and their endings". I added definitions and some grammatical information. Such frequency lists invariably depend on the selection of texts, but a 300 word list is short enough to be a good representation of most common words for all types of texts. If you would like to learn about a creative way to expand your vocabulary, please take a look at the 180-page book "Mnemonic Latin".
You may also find it useful to be mindful of the many Latin derivatives in the English language. Sometimes a familiar English word can be your key to learning a Latin root. Vice versa, Latin roots can help greatly improve your English vocabulary.
