A repository for creating a vocabulary list for Wheelock.

Primary LanguageHTML

I made this repository for the purpose of merging two sets of information about Latin vocabulary. I wanted to have a list of all of the vocabularly used in Wheelock's Latin that also showed the ranking of each word in terms of usage frequency as recorded in Dickinson College Commentaries' Latin Core Vocabulary list.

I used the helpful Google Doc of all of the vocabulary in Wheelock to get the list of words. DCC thoughtfully makes their Latin Core Vocabulary list available for free as a CSV (bene factum, DCC!). I did some preprocessing of the two sets of information to get two sets of data that I could compare. After that, I used the Python Pandas library to merge the two sets. Overkill? Definitely! But it beats doing the comparison manually!
