You don't need 100,000 words.
You need 1,000.

The 1,000 most-used words cover 85% of everyday English. Master those, and conversations open up. We'll teach you all of them — in the order that gets you fluent fastest.

The math

A small number of words does most of the work.

85%

Researchers who study how often each word appears in real speech keep finding the same thing: a tiny core of words shows up everywhere. The top 1,000 alone make up about 85% of the words you'll hear in everyday English.

Learn those 1,000 well, and you understand 85 out of every 100 words a real person says to you. That's the difference between feeling lost and following along.

What you get

A simple system, built for the words that actually matter.

01

1,000 words, ranked by frequency

Hand-picked from real-world data — not random vocabulary lists. You learn the words that show up most, first.

02

Native pronunciation, every word

Hear each word the way a real person says it. Then say it back. Repeat until it sticks.

03

Real example sentences

Words don't live alone. Each one comes with short, real-world examples so you learn how it's actually used.

04

Track your % of English

Watch your number climb. "You know 240 of 1,000 — that's 21% of everyday English." Real progress, not points.

Built by a teacher

I've been teaching English on YouTube — one word at a time.

For the last year I've been making short videos answering one simple question: "Do you know how to say this in English?"

This app is the next step — not one word at a time, but all 1,000, in the order that gets you fluent the fastest.
