A server for every game to play with other people
I don't feel like writing this so here, One of the most intimidating things about a new language is the huge number of words to learn. English has over 100,000 word families, which are words with the same root (like “played”, “playful” and “playing” which all share the root word “play”). It also gains around three new words every day… yikes!
But research shows that there’s no reason to be scared. Why? Because you will be able to understand about 65% of all written material in the English language with only the 300 most frequently used words.
Why you don’t need as many words as you think Have you ever heard of the 80/20 principle? This fascinating idea is well-known in economics and business. It explains that with many skills, 20% of your time and energy generates 80% of your results. The same rule can be applied to language learning, too.
With this in mind, let’s take a look at the research of Dr. Edward Fry, who collected the most common English words for his book Dr. Fry’s 1000 Instant Words. He found that the 25 most commonly used words appear in a huge 30% of written material in English. The first 100 are used in about 50%, and the first 300 are used in about 65%. Dr. Fry’s findings mean that with the 300 most common words, you can understand the majority of texts written in English. https://preply.com/en/blog/300-most-common-english-words/
