English vocabulary overview
LangOria's English vocabulary library is organised by CEFR — the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which is the standard scale used by employers, universities, and immigration authorities worldwide. A1 covers the most frequent 500 words you need to get by in everyday situations; C2 covers the rarest academic and literary vocabulary. Each entry includes a real example sentence from the Tatoeba corpus, so you see the word in the contexts native speakers actually use, and our spaced-repetition scheduler reviews each word at the moment you are about to forget it.

English vocabulary FAQ
How is English vocabulary organised on LangOria?
By recognised ability levels — CEFR for most languages, JLPT for Japanese, HSK for Chinese and TOPIK for Korean. Each level groups the vocabulary you need at that stage, ordered by frequency and difficulty.
How many English words do I need per level?
It depends on the level and exam system: A1 covers roughly the 500 highest-frequency words and C2 the rarest academic and literary vocabulary; HSK 1 is 150 words and N5 around 800. Every deck pairs each word with a real example sentence from the Tatoeba corpus.
Where do the example sentences come from?
From Tatoeba, a community-built corpus of translations written by native speakers. Each example is designed for spaced-repetition review, so you meet words in the contexts native speakers actually use.
What is the best way to study English vocabulary?
The 45–65-minute daily spaced-repetition loop: review each word just as you are about to forget it. Pick the level that matches your goal — survival (A1), everyday conversation (A2-B1) or professional/fluent (B2-C1) — and move up one level at a time.
