How many English words do you know?

, ,

LEMMA*, which is based on the Collins Cobuild vocabulary database, gives you a reliable figure about the size of your English vocabulary.

How many English words do you know - 3000, 5000, 10000 or more? This diagnostic test will tell you.

The test

  • is based on scientific studies on vocabulary frequency
  • has been tested among thousands of students all over Europe
  • consists of diagnostic tests whose pedagogical value is enhanced by context based exercises
  • will activate your passive vocabulary



On this site -> http://www.wordsandtools.com/index_lemma.htm run 'Demo'.

But remember! It doesn't matter how many words do you know but how you can to use them!

Acording to this site I know only 3152 words but I had never problem with communication in English :smile:

And you? How many English words do you know???

I ranked 5180. I have poor English ability :cry:

I think the Europeans can be much higher ranked because English and other European languages are simular.

In my country, every employer wants a high employee's English ability and TOEIC score even in the English-useless occupation case.

5655, 6715, 5180 and my sweatheart ranked 10880... you all know much more words than me... :frown: I must learn a lot...


Hi Zariski!
Not all european languages are similar to English... Slavic languages (Russian, Polish, Czech, Serbian and other) are complitely different...
In Poland many international concerns want FCE or CAE certificates.

That seems like a decent score, and just think I only scored in the 65th percentile on the Verbal Reasoning section of the Medical College Admission Test. LOL.

Hello people!

I tried to buy this program but did succeed. I send two emails for the address available but never received any response. Is there any place where I can download it or buy?

By the way, my score in the test left on the site was 9780 words in the intermediate level.

37/Brazil

Thanks
