Meanings

No gimmicks, no games, just what you need to master your second language vocabulary.

To understand a foreign language, one needs to understand 95% of the vocabulary that is encountered in a written passage or conversation. To read a typical book written for native speakers, this can mean encountering up to 10,000 unique words.

Learning vocabulary can happen incidentally through reading or listening, but ultimately, a significant amount of dedicated vocabulary study is needed to acquire the foundational knowledge.

Meanings is designed to be your ultimate language study companion.
