Take the list with you
Rank, word, meaning and IPA pronunciation in four columns. Pick how much of the list you want — the same slices as the buttons above.
CSV opens straight into Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, and imports into Anki. For a printable copy, choose a size above and use your browser's print command — the page prints as a clean list, and every script comes out right.
Frequencies come from the OpenSubtitles corpus via hermitdave/FrequencyWords; English meanings and IPA pronunciations from Wiktextract, with eSpeak NG filling in pronunciations Wiktionary lacks. The data is CC BY-SA 4.0, and so is this list — keep the credit if you pass it on. Example sentences come from Tatoeba, CC BY 2.0 FR. The raw data file is here too.
The speaker plays the voice the LangX app uses for that language — synthesised, not a native speaker, so treat it as a guide.
Words stick once you use them
A list gets you the first few hundred. Saying them to someone who speaks Latvian is what makes them stay.
