Why Study By Frequency?:
Not all words are created equal. Some words are used more than others, and are thus more valuable to know. The secret to becoming fluent fast in a language, is by learning the right vocabulary.
Studies have shown that the most used 2.500 words account for 92% of all spoken Greek, and 82% of all written Greek text.
How Much Vocabulary Do You Need To Know?
While it’s important to note it’s impossible to pin down these numbers and statistics with 100% accuracy, these are a global average of multiple sources. According to scientific research, this is the amount of vocabulary needed for varying levels of fluency:
· 250 words: the essential core of a language. Without these words, you cannot construct sentences.
· 750 words: those that are used every single day by every person who speaks the language.
· 2,500 words: those that should enable you to express everything you could possibly want to say, although some creativity might be required.
· 5,000 words: the active vocabulary of native speakers without higher education. You will understand about 90% of all written text.
· 10,000 words: the active vocabulary of native speakers with higher education.
· 20,000 words: the amount you need to recognize passively in order to read, understand, and enjoy a work of literature such as a novel by a notable author.
Keeping above facts in mind, the value of a frequency dictionary is immense. At least, if you want to become fluent in a language fast. Study the most frequent words, build your vocabulary and progress naturally.
