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.
