For our 1000th episode we thought we would bring you a special edition with a focus on the number 1000 and since we have a French and a English podcast then what better subject than about learning 1000 words in a new language. 

According to some experts, 1000 words is the magic number that can help you achieve a basic communicative level in any language. With 1000 words, you can understand most of the everyday speech of native speakers, and you can express yourself on a variety of topics.

But how do you learn 1000 words quickly and effectively? What else can you do to make sure you don't forget your new words? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
