Trung bình một ngôn ngữ có khoảng 50.000 từ vựng, trong đó thì một người trưởng thành trong suốt cuộc đời biết khoảng 30.000 từ. Tuy vậy, trong đời sống hàng ngày, chỉ có khoảng 3000 từ vựng được dùng thường xuyên. Điều này đúng với mọi ngôn ngữ, kể cả tiếng Anh. Với một kỳ thi học thuật với mục tiêu là “nói tiếng Anh giống người bản xứ” như IELTS thì chỉ cần một nửa số từ vựng cần dùng hàng ngày – tức 1500 từ – là bạn đã có trong tay chứng chỉ IELTS band 8.0 rồi.
