Ученые языковеды утверждают, что в английском языке порядка миллиона слов. Словарный запас взрослого носителя языка составляет от 10 000 до 30 000 слов — фантастическое количество для начинающих изучать язык. Но не впадаем в отчаяние. Исследования показывают, что всего лишь 300 самых часто употребляемых слов помогут вам понимать более 50% текста (кроме специализированной и научной литературы) и выражать свои мысли.
Для вашего удобства мы разбили подборку на подгруппы, в которые вошли по 50 слов разных частей речи. К каждому слову указали значения, в которых они употребляются наиболее часто. Для составления подборки мы использовали следующие источники:
- British National Corpus
- Longman Communication 3 000
- Longman Vocabulary Checker
- 5 000 важных английских слов

Сложные прилагательные вы можете заменять более простыми и знакомыми вам синонимами, например: confusing (сбивающий с толку, путающий) можно заменить на not clear (неясный).

Building your vocabulary with some of the most common words used in the English language is a great start for your journey in learning this beautiful language.
Not only do these common words expand the English terminology that you know, but they also help you with your English conversation skills since they are indeed words that you hear others use everyday.
If you know 1,000 words, you will be between a functional beginner and conversational level in English. In most of the world’s languages, 500 words will be more than enough to get you through any tourist situations and everyday introductions.
Using everyday common words are the most convenient way to learn English. The more you hear these words, the better it is for you to process and understand them.
And the more you use them, the stronger your English skills become. So it’s a great process of learning from others, and at the same time, learning from yourself, too!
Okay, time to share the list! Remember that with these 1,000 words you’ll be able to ask people how they’re doing, tell them about your day and navigate everyday life situations like shopping and public transit. But also keep in mind that native-like fluency, among many other things, requires about 10,000 vocabulary words.

These 1000 common words are just a speck of the many English terms you can learn! Aren’t you excited to learn more? For now, focus on familiarizing yourself with these words. And make a conscious effort to use them in your everyday conversations.
The power of everyday English conversations is truly remarkable. And it’s the best way to deepen your learning and love for the language.
If you want more lessons relating to English vocabulary, here’s a great lesson that talks about the different ways you can improve your English vocabulary fast.
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.

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.

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.
