Importance in this case is defined as: frequency of use and importance of the term for basic activities and interests that a tourist might have.Here are some examples of words:- el animal: animal- el hospital: hospital- el sistema: systemPlease exclude words that are generally easy to learn but do not have a similarity to English words.Please present the results in a table with the columns: "Spanish", "English" and "Importance".And here is the first list after using the prompts 5 times, for nouns, verbs, adverbs etc. This list, you can upload to a learning program/App like Card2Brain.Any questions?
