It is very important to acquire so-called "Minimum Active Vocabulary" of common words and phrases to start speaking English. What is included in this vocabulary?
Swedish linguist Erik V. Gunnemark, the founder of "The Association Amici Linguarum", answered this question in his book called "The Art and Science of Learning Languages". Having the experience in the learning of more than 45 languages, he determined that "Minimum Active Vocabulary" included 400-500 common words and about 150 basic phrases. This vocabulary is more than enough to start speaking English. E. V. Gunnemark compiled the list of these words and phrases and called them "Minilex" and "Miniphrase" respectively.
