How to Learn English Words
We all know we must learn English words—and lots of them—to speak the language well. A native English speaker knows approximately 12,000 to 20,000 words according to experts. Mother tongue English speakers learn these words over a lifetime of informal daily life and in formal schooling.
There are anywhere from 450,000 to one million English words depending on whether you count words separately (e.g., sit, sitting, sat, sitter) or as part of a word family (e.g., sit). We also learn words as part of idiomatic phrases (a set group of words that together have a meaning that's different than the separate words. e.g, sitting on top of the world).
So how does someone learning English as a second language know where to begin? Which words should you learn? What's the best way to learn (and remember) these words?
Before we look at which words to learn and how to learn them, please note that this website includes many vocabulary word lists and lessons as you can see below.
