How many words do you know?
"Test your receptive and productive vocabulary in different languages.
The vocabulary tests aim to assess participants' vocabulary knowledge on levels of 1000 words each. These levels are based on high-frequency vocabulary lists. The 5000 most frequent words of German, English, Spanish, Russian, Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese, and American English can be tested. The results indicate the corresponding reading levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
What percentage of the 5000 most frequent words have you mastered?"
