A frequency table is a simple way to see which words appear most often.

from collections import Counter

words = 'learn share learn'.split()
counts = Counter(words)
print(counts['learn'])  # 2

Counter returns zero for a word that is not present. For real text, consider normalizing capitalization and punctuation before counting.
