Vocabulary Goal Calculator
Plan language learning: target vocabulary size, current level and deadline convert into words per day and a realistic study schedule.
About this tool
This vocabulary planner turns a language goal into words per day, with realistic study time including spaced-repetition review.
Fluency is a volume game with a schedule: 3,500 words at 20 per day is under six months. The plan holds you to the daily number, which is the only variable that decides the outcome.
FAQ
How many words per day is realistic?
10-20 new words daily is sustainable for most learners with spaced repetition; 50+ collapses retention without very heavy review.
What vocabulary size do I need?
About 2,000 words covers 80% of everyday speech; 5,000-8,000 words handles books, films and most conversations.
What is the best method?
Spaced repetition (Anki-style) plus reading and listening in context. Word lists alone do not transfer to real conversation.
