How many Italian words do you know?
A two-minute test measures your vocabulary — honestly, by asking you what words mean, not whether you think you know them. Then Glotalot trains the words just beyond your frontier, a few minutes a day, so the number keeps climbing.
Vocabulary grows in steps. The first ones are the words you meet everywhere — in Italian, they go like this:
- 0–100 wordsdopo, volta, sembrare
- 100–200 wordsallora, servizio, bisogno
- 200–400 wordscittadino, rispondere, scrivere
- 400–700 wordsazienda, andata, bisogna
- 700–1,000 wordsutile, riprendere, conferma
- 1,000–2,000 wordsregista, appunto, addosso
- 2,000–4,000 wordspremere, incubo, fallire
- 4,000–7,300 wordschiacchiera, funebre, massimizzare
Past 7,300 words the common ones are behind you, and what changes is how rarely a word stops you:
- 7,300 words1 unknown word in 20You can follow a book or a film — with effort.
- 13,500 words1 unknown word in 50You follow comfortably, without looking words up.
- 18,500 words1 unknown word in 100Near-native. Unknown words are a rarity.
Your test tells you where you stand on this ladder — and how many words the next step costs.
