According to scientific research, this is the amount of vocabulary needed for varying levels of fluency: <br /> <p> <br /> - 250 words: the essential core of a language. Without these words, you cannot construct sentences.<br> <br /> - 750 words: those that are used every single day by every person who speaks the language. <br> <br /> - 2500 words: those that should enable you to express everything you could possibly want to say, although some creativity might be required. <br> <br /> - 5000 words: the active vocabulary of native speakers without higher education. You will understand 95% of all written texts. <br> <br /> - 10,000 words: the active vocabulary of native speakers with higher education. <br> <br /> - 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. <br> <br /> <p> <br /> Keeping above facts in mind, the value of a frequency dictionary is immense.
