We Focus on the Words That Matter Most

At Speak Stories, we don’t teach every word in the dictionary—we teach the ones that unlock the most communication. We follow the 80-20 principle: 20% of the words give learners 80% of the power to speak, understand, and connect.

Here’s how we apply that in our lessons:

• We teach high-frequency words first. Our stories and activities center around the 250–500 most useful words in everyday conversation. These words show up again and again—so learners remember them naturally.
• We build fluency through repetition and context. Learners don’t just memorize—they use these words in meaningful ways. They hear them in stories, say them in dialogue, and see them in action. That’s how vocabulary sticks.
• We skip the endless drills. Instead of spending hours on grammar charts and rare vocabulary, we focus on what learners actually need to speak. It’s efficient, intuitive, and human.
• We make every word count. Whether it’s “run,” “hide,” “behind,” or “under,” each word is chosen for its usefulness in storytelling, conversation, and comprehension.
• We keep it fun and focused. Learners build confidence quickly because they’re using language that works. They’re not overwhelmed—they’re empowered.

At Speak Stories, we believe that learning a language doesn’t have to be slow or exhausting. When you focus on the words that matter most, you learn faster, speak sooner, and enjoy the journey.
