Frequently asked

Why these 500 words?

They're the 500 most frequent words in English, ranked by real-world usage from Vocabai's language corpus. High-frequency words give you the most comprehension per word learned, so studying them in order is the fastest route to understanding everyday English.

Does this include articles and function words?

Yes — this is the literal most-common ranking, so the highest-frequency function words (articles, pronouns, prepositions) are included. If you'd rather skip them and focus on content vocabulary, see our "essential English words" list.

Why only 50 words on the free starter?

Vocabai Free is capped at 50 words per list. We import the top 50 by frequency — the densest possible foundation. Pro removes the cap and imports the full list in one click.

How do I practice them?

Save the list and Vocabai drills it with spaced repetition, quizzes, matching, and AI conversation — so the words actually stick instead of being read once and forgotten.
