Study Resources for Most Common Chinese Words
Hi @lovehyunlix, because of that ask you sent, I decided to gather up some resources for learning the most common 1000+ Mandarin words.
Note: you can learn these words from most well made textbooks (if you already have a good textbook then reading over all the wordlists would work well), formal classes (as you go through them you'll learn the most common words in the first 1-2 years), from extensively watching Comprehensible Input Lessons (such as those on youtube for Beginner and Intermediate Learners), from well made audio lessons (like ChinesePod101/Innovative Language Chinese), from apps (like Clozemaster app has a course sorted by frequency), by just brute force looking up words as you intensively read (the most common words show up the MOST, and are often key to understanding the main idea, so if you look up words when reading they'll likely be the first words you keep looking up over and over until you learn them), or in a variety of other ways. There's TONS of ways to get a vague familiarity with the most common 1000 words. Please do whatever works best for you.

Anki Decks:
(note: there is a paid version on Gumroad that says it fixed some errors. I recommend always assuming any learner-made resource has some errors, whether it's an anki deck or anything else, you will eventually learn enough you'll know what's an error, and overall the learner-made resources still have plenty of correct and mostly-correct information to learn)
Spoonfed Chinese (I used this one a bit, I liked it for the words specifically in sentence examples and with audio. No matter what resource you use, sentence examples and audio are very helpful if you can find it - such as textbooks with audio files, word lists with audio files, and examples).
