Word test english vocabulary

Why should you check your vocabulary?

Language learning consists of the following parts: grammar, vocabulary learning and speaking. Of these; grammar is the one that can be completed in the shortest time. Speaking is only possible if you know words. There are tens of thousands of words in a language. The vocabulary learning process is quite long. You can test your vocabulary to know how many words you know and plan your learning process accordingly.
