From ‘How to Read a Page’ by I.A. Richards
This list of important words was drawn up by British rhetorician I.A. Richards, author of several books including «Basic English and Its Uses» (1943). However, these 100 words are not a part of the simplified version of the language that he and C.K. Ogden called Basic English.
Also, we’re not talking about the 100 most frequently used words in English (a list that contains far more prepositions than nouns).
And unlike the 100 words chosen by David Crystal to tell «The Story of English,» Richards’ words are primarily significant for their meanings, not their etymologies.
Richards introduced his list of words in the book «How to Read a Page: A Course in Effective Reading» (1942), and he called them «the most important words» for two reasons:
- They cover the ideas we can least avoid using, those which are concerned in all that we do as thinking beings.
- They are words we are forced to use in explaining other words because it is in terms of the ideas they cover that the meanings of other words must be given.
Here are those 100 important words:
- Amount
- Argument
- Art
- Be
- Beautiful
- Belief
- Cause
- Certain
- Chance
- Change
- Clear
- Common
- Comparison
- Condition
- Connection
- Copy
- Decision
- Degree
- Desire
- Development
- Different
- Do
- Education
- End
- Event
- Examples
- Existence
- Experience
- Fact
- Fear
- Feeling
- Fiction
- Force
- Form
- Free
- General
- Get
- Give
- Good
- Government
- Happy
- Have
- History
- Idea
- Important
- Interest
- Knowledge
- Law
- Let
- Level
- Living
- Love
- Make
- Material
- Measure
- Mind
- Motion
- Name
- Nation
- Natural
- Necessary
- Normal
- Number
- Observation
- Opposite
- Order
- Organization
- Part
- Place
- Pleasure
- Possible
- Power
- Probable
- Property
- Purpose
- Quality
- Question
- Reason
- Relation
- Representative
- Respect
- Responsible
- Right
- Same
- Say
- Science
- See
- Seem
- Sense
- Sign
- Simple
- Society
- Sort
- Special
- Substance
- Thing
- Thought
- True
- Use
- Way
- Wise
- Word
- Work
All these words carry multiple meanings, and they can say quite different things to different readers. For that reason, Richards’ list could just as well have been labeled «The 100 Most Ambiguous Words:»
The very usefulness which gives them their importance explains their ambiguity. They are the servants of too many interests to keep to single, clearly defined jobs. Technical words in the sciences are like adzes, planes, gimlets, or razors. A word like «experience,» or «feeling,» or «true» is like a pocketknife. In good hands it will do most things—not very well. In general we will find that the more important a word is, and the more central and necessary its meanings are in our pictures of ourselves and the world, the more ambiguous and possibly deceiving the word will be.
In an earlier book, «The Making of Meaning» (1923), Richards (and co-author C.K. Ogden) had explored the fundamental notion that meaning doesn’t reside in words themselves. Rather, meaning is rhetorical: It’s fashioned out of both a verbal context (the words surrounding the words) and the experiences of the individual reader. No surprise, then, that miscommunication is often the result when the «important words» come into play.
It’s this idea of miscommunicating through language that led Richards to conclude that all of us are developing our reading skills all the time: «Whenever we use words in forming some judgment or decision, we are, in what may be a painfully sharp sense, ‘learning to read'» («How to Read a Page.»)
There are actually 103 words on Richards’ top-100 list. The bonus words, he said, are meant «to incite the reader to the task of cutting out those he sees no point in and adding any he pleases, and to discourage the notion that there is anything sacrosanct about a hundred, or any other number.»
Your List
So with those thoughts in mind, it’s now time to create a list of what you think are the most important words.

Из статьи вы узнаете, какой объем словарного запаса у носителей языка и тех, кто учит английский, а также, какие слова стоит выучить в первую очередь.
Содержание:
- 1. Человек
- 2. Характеристики

- 7. События и места

Словарный запас ― один из показателей уровня владения языком. Для того чтобы общаться на английском и понимать иностранцев, необязательно знать все 171 476 слова из Оксфордского словаря. Но тогда сколько?
На сайте testyourvocab.com вы можете пройти тест на определение словарного запаса с погрешностью в ±10%. Он состоит из двух этапов и занимает всего пять минут. Согласно его данным, взрослый носитель показывает результат от 20 000 до 35 000 слов, а те, кто изучает английский, набирают от 2 500 до 9 000 слов. Такие результаты включают в себя как активную, так и пассивную лексику.
Давайте узнаем, какие языковые возможности открывает тот или иной запас слов.
1 000 слов позволяют понять около 80% повседневных разговоров. Зная 1 000 слов, вы можете говорить на простые темы: завести знакомство, совершить покупки в путешествии и не растеряться в общественном транспорте.
3 000 слов позволяют понять уже около 95% большинства обычных текстов. Круг повседневных тем расширяется: вы можете более детально обсуждать бытовые и рабочие вопросы, понять общие идеи и концепции большинства статей, более свободно чувствовать себя за границей.
5 000 слов позволяют понять около 98% большинства обычных текстов. Ваш уровень достаточно высок, чтобы понять значение незнакомых слов из контекста. С таким запасом слов вы можете жить и работать в англоязычной среде. Однако вам может быть нелегко четко сформулировать свою мысль в рамках узкоспециализированных тем.
10 000 слов позволяют понять около 99% большинства текстов. Такого объема слов, как правило, достигают к уровню Proficiency. Это вершина изучения языка ― аналог словарного запаса выпускника колледжа. С таким количеством слов ваш уровень владения языком близок к уровню образованного носителя.
В процессе изучения языка большие цели эффективнее разбивать на несколько этапов, поэтому предлагаем начать с 1 000 английских слов. Мы взяли за основу 1 000 самых употребляемых английских слов, разбили их на категории и дополнили словами, важными для повседневного общения и путешествий.
Список слов включает восемь тем, каждая из которых разбита на подтемы:
- Person (человек)
- Characteristics (характеристики)
- Time and Numbers (время и числа)
- Verbs and Lifestyle (глаголы и образ жизни)
- Food (еда)
- Animals and Nature (животные и природа)
- Events and Places (события и места)
- Home (дом)
К словам даны:
- американский вариант: colleague (AmE: co-worker)
- форма множественного числа, если это слово-исключение: man (pl. men)
- формы неправильных глаголов: speak (spoke – spoken)
О том, какие приемы использовать для быстрого запоминания слов и как приучить себя их использовать в речи, вы можете узнать из нашего бесплатного вебинара «Как учить английские слова».

A research has found that there are 570 words which form the basis of academic English. These words and their variations are the most important English words which have to be understood for a proper comprehension of academic English.
The Academic Word List, a list of 570 headwords, was published by the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand in 2000. The words in the Academic Word List came from a research based on academic texts from 28 different subject areas. These are the highest-frequency words in any academic text. In other words, they are the most common words in academic English.
In general, if you are reading or listening to academic topics (like the reading passages in IELTS or PTE tests), 10 percent of the words will be from this list.
That means, unless you know the meaning of the words in the list, you would not be able to understand one out of every ten words in academic English.
Alternately, you should learn to use these around 500 most important English words in your own writing or speaking to boost your vocabulary score.
The words below a headword are derivatives of that word.
Words in italics are the most common words in any word family.

whereby
The frequency number is how often the word appears out of 250,000 words. For example if you divide 250,000 by 9243, then we can see that the word «the» appears once in every 27 words. However, this number should only be used as a general guide. The numbers can change depending on the topic, demographic, and many other variables. Although the number cannot be accurate, it can be used to provide insight into the frequency of words in relation to other words.
The Type column refers to what type of word it is. In many cases, a word can be multiple types. The first one listed is more frequently used than the second. For example, the word «can» is used as an auxiliary verb such as, «I can ride a bike.» Also, it is a noun such as can of food. In this particular case, «can» is used commonly in both ways, but it is more frequently used as an auxiliary verb. In some cases, the third or fourth type might not be used regularly.
There can be typos or errors. If you find anything that is incorrect, please email talkenglish@talkenglish.com. We will do our best to correct everything.

Do you need to Learn English Faster?
Do you want to speak English fluently?
The best way to learn English is now FREE!!! > > > The SKESL System < < <
Learn how to improve your English vocabulary, listening, and speaking at the same time using the 3000 most commonly used words in English.
Fortunately, you don’t have to learn them all to become fluent in English. Americans use around 2500 – 3000 of the most common words in their daily lives. If you know these 3000 most common words, you can understand at least 95% of all conversations, e-mails, newspapers, and books.
Sounds great! But what is the most effective way to learn these words?
Focus on example sentences when learning vocabulary. Here’s why?
When it comes to learning English vocabulary, the most important thing
you need to focus on are
example sentences because they help you to improve all your English skills — including vocabulary, listening, speaking, and writing.
If you want to speak English fluently, learn with your ears, not with your eyes
Learning English can be broken down into two parts: input and output. Input consists of reading and listening while output consists of writing and speaking. The more input you get, the more output you can produce. It’s that simple.
Here’s the little secret you probably don’t know yet:
Repetition is the secret to English fluency
If you want to quickly achieve fluency level — to speak English easily, fluently and automatically, you’ll need to do one more thing:
Learn deeply through lots of repetition.
It means that you will need to listen to every example sentence many, many times, until you MASTER it. Don’t listen just one time or a few times. It’s not enough. You will forget it very soon.
You may know how to use a word to make a correct sentence, but here’s the thing: Can you use it quickly, easily, and automatically?
If the answer is no, you need to repeat more. You must listen to that example sentence again and again.
Don’t ignore this simple secret. This is how you will achieve automatically fast speaking.

Why Is It Important to Learn These Phrases First When Learning a New Language?
What makes these 65 words and phrases to special? This vocabulary provides a jumping point for communication. Learning this vocabulary will…
- Ensure you are able to communicate when traveling. You don’t need to be fluent in a new language for travel, but learning key phrases can provide you with the skills you need to ask important questions and share basic information on your travels.
In addition, if you happen to travel to a country that speaks a similar language, you might still be able to use this information to communicate—that is because there are mutually-intelligible languages, which are languages that are similar enough to each other that speakers of one language can understand the other language.
- Allow you to communicate in common situations even if you aren’t that far along in your studies. Learning key words and phrases early enables you to use the language sooner, thereby helping you communicate more clearly and motivating you to keep studying.
- Help you build on your new vocabulary. Many of these words and phrases are very common, so they an act as a foundation for the rest of your learning. As you get more and more proficient, you can add to it with more phrases like slang in different languages.
- Assist in learning verb conjugations and grammar rules. Whenever you encounter a similar sentence, you can use the phrases you’ve learned to help you construct it.
See how important it is to learn key phrases and words like the ones on our list?
The 65 First Words and Phrases to Learn in a New Language
Polite Vocabulary
It is impossible to understate the value of being polite. Especially if you don’t speak a language very well, knowing a few polite words and phrases can help clarify that you have good intentions.
- Please
Not only is “please” a valuable word to tack on to any request, you can also use it alone to indicate that you want something. For instance, if you see something in a store or at a restaurant that you want, pointing at it and saying “please” will generally communicate your intentions.
- Thank you
Expressing gratitude is appropriate whenever someone helps you out. It shows show them that you know they did you a favor and you appreciate it.
- You’re welcome
While you might not need to use it as often as other polite words, if someone thanks you, it is always nice to respond in kind.
- I’m sorry/Excuse me
“I’m sorry” is usually appropriate if you’ve messed up or want to express remorse. In some languages, it can also be used to express that you didn’t hear/understand. “Excuse me” can be used if you want to get someone’s attention, or get through a crowd. In many languages, the two phrases can be used interchangeably. Since the usage of “I’m sorry” and “excuse me” varies between languages, you will want to investigate which one is more useful in your target language.
- Yes/No
These might seem obvious but you will use them often, so they are important to be familiar with.
Greetings & Getting to Know You
Knowing basic greetings and getting-to-know-you conversations in your target language is a setup for a friendly interaction.
- Hello
You can never go wrong with “hello.” Depending on the level of formality of the interaction, you could also consider using “hi.”
- What is your name?
When the person introduces himself/herself, try to repeat the name. Not only will this give them an opportunity to correct your pronunciation, it will also help you remember the name.
- I am…/My name is…
In some languages you introduce yourself with “I am…” while in others you say “my name is…” or even “I call myself…” instead. Because there is so much variation, it is helpful to pay careful attention to what is most common in your target language. Although learning “I am…” could never hurt. After all, depending on the language, you might also use it to indicate characteristics or feelings, like “I am an American” or “I am happy.”
- Nice to meet you
When someone introduces himself/herself, it is polite to express joy at meeting them. “Nice to meet you” or “it’s a pleasure” are common, but this may vary across languages.
- How are you?
In some places, “how are you?” is a generic greeting. In other places, it is a polite way to show interest in someone’s well being. Regardless, it is a polite question to ask.
- I’m well
If “how are you?” is a generic greeting in many languages, the best way to respond is by saying “I’m well” or “I’m fine,” even if you are not. This also avoids awkward followup questions if you do not speak much of the language.
- Where are you from?
If you want to learn more about a person, this is a good option to start out with. Additionally, if you are traveling abroad, you might hear this question a lot.
- I am from…
At some point you might want to clarify where you are from. Just remember that place names are also likely to be different in your target language, so you will want to also learn the right name to for your home country.
- What is your profession?
If your conversation is going well, you might consider asking “what is your profession?” or “what do you do for a living?” If you are going to ask this, though, be sure you also know the words for common professions, or you might end up a little lost.
- Goodbye
Simply walking away from a conversation might seem rude. Knowing the word for “Goodbye” will help. Most languages also have less formal words for goodbye, like “bye” or “bye bye” that you can use with friends.
Getting Information
You can’t plan for everything ahead of time, so sometimes you need to ask questions to get information. Here are some common questions you are likely to use.
- Where is…?
If you are traveling abroad, at some point you are likely to need directions. “Where is…” is a good question to solicit this information. Just pair it with common place names (which we will discuss later).
- How do I get to…?
“Where is…” could lead to a description of the location rather than directions. Use the more direct “how do I get to…?” to yield more specific directions.
- How far is…?
This is an easy question to forget, but knowing the distance from one place to another is an important way to determine what mode of transportation you will use. After all, chances are you don’t want to spend a full day walking to a tourist site when a bus could take you there in an hour.
- Can you show me on a map?
If you do not know enough of the language to follow directions, “can you show me on a map?” is an easy way to avoid using much language. Plus, this will allow you to better visualize your route.
- Could you write that down?
Asking people to write information down allows you to see the printed words, which can be easier to understand than spoken language. If you do not recognize the words, you can later look them up in a dictionary without an awkward pause in conversation.
- How much does it cost?
Whether you are shopping, booking a room or eating out, this will ensure you do not overspend. You might also pair this with “could you write that down?” to make your expenses even clearer.
- What is this?
You can use “what is this?” to learn more about things like food or clothing that you are unfamiliar with, or you could use it to learn new words in your target language.
- What time is it?
If your phone battery dies or the timezone change has you reeling, being able to ask the time can help you avoid missing flights, trains and buses.
- Do you have…?
If you are shopping or want a particular dish at a restaurant, this will help you ask for it by name.
- Do you have anything cheaper?
Not only is this a good way to find out if there is anything more affordable, you might also use this question to try to negotiate a better price.
- Do you like…?
“Do you like…?” can be used for getting-to-know-you activities, but it is also an easy way to find out if something is worth doing. For instance, if you ask a local if they like a particular restaurant and they give you an adamant “no,” you might want to dine elsewhere.
- What is the best…?
Locals always know best, so asking locals what is best is a helpful way to find out the best restaurants, shops and tourist sites.
- How do you say…?
To build your vocabulary, you might try using this phrase. Friendly English-speaking locals might be able to help you if you list a word or phrase in English, or you can point to indicate what you want to learn to say.
- What is fun to do around here?
If you have a gap in your schedule, this is a good way to solicit awesome local tips that other tourists haven’t figured out yet.
- What do you recommend?
Whether you are inquiring about food, hotels or even style choices, being able to ask what someone recommends not only shows them that you respect his/her opinion, it also provides you with valuable insight.
- Where can I…?
You might need help finding the right place for something. For instance, “Where can I buy a matryoshka?” “Where can I get the best sushi?” “Where can I get another unicorn tattoo?”
Numbers
No, you won’t need to show off your counting skills to locals, but you will undoubtedly need to know numbers for buying things, telling the time and even understanding your hotel room number.
- 1-10, 100, 1,000
The numbers 1 to 10 are essential. In many languages, numbers 11 through 99 are based on the earlier numbers, so you can usually deduce higher numbers if you know the basics (for instance, twenty-two and forty-two use the same rule). One hundred often breaks the conventions, so you will need to learn it. Depending on the local currency, learning higher numbers, like 1,000, could also come in handy.
Transportation
- Airplane
When traveling internationally, most travelers will at some point travel via air, so learning the word for airplane is important.
- Train
Train travel is common in many countries, so this word could come in handy.
- Taxi
If you are looking to hire a car, learning the word for taxi is essential. Luckily, in many languages, it’s just “taxi.”
- Car
Whether you plan to rent a car or not, this is still a useful word to know.
- Bus
Buses offer a convenient and affordable mode of transportation, so you might want to learn the word.
Places
- Place
It is vague and generic but it can also be useful. If you do not know the name of a place, the word “place” might help you. For instance, if you can’t remember the word for “restaurant,” you might ask “Where is the place…?” and then make an eating gesture . Sure, it’s not elegant, but it gets the job done.
- Restaurant
Everyone likes food, so it is best to just learn the word for restaurant. Your stomach will thank you.
- Hotel
If you are staying in a hotel, this word is important. If you are renting an apartment or condo, you might learn these words instead.
- Airport
When you are running late for a flight, you will be glad you learned the word for airport.
- Train/bus station
If you plan on doing any train travel, knowing the word for train station can help you get the directions you need. Similarly, learning the word for bus station can help you find the desired station rather than standing around on the street frantically trying to wave down 10-ton vehicles.
- Market
If you have a shopping bug (and who doesn’t?) knowing the word for market will help you find your next great souvenir. It is important to note, however, that in different languages, there may be different words for food markets, clothing markets, etc.
Communicating Basic Information
- I like…
It can be a friendly way to share interests or give compliments, but you can also use “I like…” to try to get what you want. For instance, saying “I like pasta” in a restaurant would let the waiter know to direct you towards pasta dishes, especially if you pair it with “what do you recommend?”
- I don’t like…
“I don’t like…” might not be as useful for friendly conversation as “I like…” since it could seem a little negative, but it is just as useful for trying to get what you want. For instance, “I don’t like onions. What do you recommend?” will let the waiter know you want help finding onion-free or low-onion dishes.
- I speak…
Clarifying what language or languages you speak will let people know how you communicate best. If they happent to speak the same language you can switch to it for easier communication.
- I’d like to go to…
This is a particularly useful phrase to use in taxis to let the driver know your destination.
- I’m allergic to…
If you have allergies, this is an essential phrase to share in restaurants. Be sure to also learn the words for any of your allergens.
Making Requests
- I would like…
Whether you are ordering food, requesting a specific hotel room or looking to purchase a souvenir, this phrase is incredibly useful.
- Can I have…?
This phrase is similar to “I would like…” although which one to use can vary between languages.
- Do you speak English?
If you are struggling to understand or be understood, this is good information to have. Even if the person you are speaking with does not speak English, they may help you find someone who does.
- Menu, please
Getting a restaurant menu is important. It gives you time to leisurely peruse the food items (and frantically look up any words you don’t know).
- Check, please
If your waiter doesn’t bring you the check, you will be glad to know this phrase. No one wants to sit around waiting for a check for three hours. No one.
Expressing Confusion
No matter how hard you study, there are some things you might still miss. Here are a few ways to express your confusion.
- Repeat, please
Understanding a foreign language can be hard. Asking someone to repeat what they said will give you another chance to understand what you may have missed the first time.
- More slowly, please
Some native speakers speak really quickly. Even if you are proficient at a language, you might need them to slow it down a little.
- I don’t understand
Saying this phrase comes across so much better than just staring blankly. It also provides the speaker an opportunity to repeat or rephrase.
- I’m sorry, I don’t speak…
This is a polite way to let people know that you don’t understand the language.
- What does…mean?
When you don’t understand a particular word, this is a helpful way to get more explanation or solicit an impromptu charades session.
Emergencies
Hopefully you will never need to use the following words, but it is always better to be prepared!
- Help
You never know when you might need help, and you certainly do not want to be left scrambling for a dictionary or translator, so this is a good word to learn ahead of time.
- Caution
You might not need it often, but you will certainly want to learn this word in case you see it on a sign or hear someone warning you.
- Danger
Like “caution,” you might see this word on signs. Understanding it will help ensure you don’t fall into a hole or touch a live electrical wire—avoiding little things like that make a trip much nicer.
- Emergency
If you are experiencing a crisis, being able to use this word will help communicate what is happening.
- Fire
You will not need it that often, but if someone is running down your hotel hallway screaming it you will be glad you studied ahead of time.
- I need a doctor
In a medical emergency, this phrase can help you get the assistance you need.
- Please call the police
You never want it to happen, but if you encounter ne’er-do-wells this phrase will let bystanders know you need police intervention.
