Becoming fluent and having a good working knowledge of the language is most likely your goal and you will need systems to achieve this goal. These books contain systematically organised vocabulary to assist you. The average adult English speaker has a vocabulary of approximately 20,000 words that they know well and use and a further 15,000 to 20,000 words that they can recognise and know the meaning of when they encounter them. By using these resources to become familiar with the most frequently used words in the English language you will be able to concentrate your learning efforts where they will pay the most return. The first one or two thousand words will comprise the bulk of most books, articles and newspapers but the 35,000th piece of vocabulary for an English speaker will only be encountered quite rarely.
