When reading German, Im sometimes discouraged by the number of - TopicsExpress



          

When reading German, Im sometimes discouraged by the number of words I dont recognize, but more objectively, I recognize far more words than I dont. This leads me to a little experiment here. Of the languages Ive studied to any degree at all (including my native language, English), Ill look at the first 100 words of the featured article on Wikipedia and see how many words I recognize/how many I can guess from context/how many I dont recognize (ordered in alphabetical order of the language code): DE: 97/0/3 EN: 100/0/0 EO: 99/0/1 ES: 88/1/11 TR: 13/28/59 Maybe I can gauge my progress this way. In any case, it might also provide a means to prioritize.
