The foundation of language learning
Words are the building blocks that support all aspects of foreign language learning: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
While linguists have different opinions on the most effective way to learn vocabulary, one thing is sure: anyone who wants to understand and use a foreign language fluently needs to know several thousand essential words.
Word choice matters
Did you know that in English (and many other languages):
- One thousand of the most common word families (words and their close relatives) cover about 85% of everyday language.
- Understanding at the 95% level allows us to guess the meaning of other words from context.
- To reach this comfortable level, you need to know about 3000 word families—not many!
- We take all of this into account when designing our sets. We use statistics on word frequency in language corpora.
