Not so good, but since the most common vocabulary size for non-native English spearkes is from 2,500–9,000 words, at least I’m in the average.
Test Your Vocabulary: how many words do you know?
pretty much what i was expecting
21,500 words aw yeahhh
23,600 words
um i’m a non-native english speaker

YAY
26,100
37, 600

that’s quite reasonable I think. There were a couple of words I selected which, in hindsight, I may have not known but then there were a couple of words that I, in hindsight, did know but just needed to think about longer. So it all evens out, hurrah.
My tuition dollars for my B.A. and J.D. going to good use. I’m positive my vocabulary in my native Turkish is much much smaller *hangs head in shame*
Nice test. Also, a few words that were more than cryptic to me lol. Etymologically speaking, I was in the dark :)
