ALBANIAN VOCABULARY

KNOW EVERYTHING

Building a strong vocabulary is the cornerstone of mastering any language and our Albanian Vocabulary Section is designed to help you express yourself on variety of topics. There is no point in memorising the Grammar if you don't know what things are called so we recommend that your start your Albanian language learning from here. You can also find very specific Albanian words and expressions in the Culture section.

On this page you will find find the basic vocabulary to get started. Our vocabulary lists are carefully curated to cover a wide range of topics. Learning the most common 2,000 words will allow you to understand about 80-90% of everyday spoken or written material, provided you already have a grasp of the grammar. Languages follow th so-called the "Pareto Principle" (80/20 rule), where a small percentage of vocabulary accounts for the majority of communication.

For now we recommend you focus on reading the words a few times a day so that you can recognise them when you encounter them in a text or conversation. Learning Albanian vocabulary will be slightly easier if you know a Romance language (like Italian or Romanian) even if they are not related. After that you can learn start the Grammar section where you will find them in use.
