A small set of words is enough to start understanding everyday English.
Common English words are the words you will hear every day — words like yes, no, please, thank you, water, food, and friend. Learning these first gives you a strong foundation. Even if you only know a few words, you can already point, ask, and answer simple questions.
Try to learn new words slowly and use them right away. Say them out loud, write them down, and try them in real situations. The more you repeat a word, the more natural it feels. Over time, these small words connect together and become full sentences.
