In most of the world’s languages, 500 words will be more than enough to get you through any tourist situations and everyday introductions.

Once you have mastered at least 1000 in any given language your should then move on to consuming media in your target language. You should be able to understand about 80% of the words in any given media but you should be able to pick up new words and phrases from context. Good luck on your language learning journey!
