1000 Words

A study conducted by Mark Davies of Brigham Young University found that by learning the 1,000 most common words of a language, you can understand 76% of all non-fiction writing, 79.6% of all fiction writing, and 87.8% of all spoken discourse. When you are a beginner in language learning, why waste time learning uncommon words? With our “1000 Words” vocabulary lessons, you will learn the 1,000 most common words, based on the Corpus of Contemporary American English. The “1000 Words” lessons include:

• Audio to listen to and practice the pronunciation of the word
• The meaning of the word of the day
• The grammatical category (noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc.)
• An example sentence to help you become familiar with the word in context
• The opportunity to write a sentence with the new word of the day in the comments section to reinforce your learning
