anyone know of something like this for other languages, eg german?
"The companion Brazilian project can be found at howmanywords.com.br"
Which right now just says "Calcule o tamanho do seu vocabulário em inglês / Coming soon"
I'd be really interested in the percentiles of the non-native speakers. With an alarmingly low 10.700 words, there is not even a percentile for me... And I know that my fluency of English is at least above the median around here (edit: here = where I live). This also shows how extremely time-consuming it is to learn a second language. I started in school, 10 years old, am moderately well educated (some college drop-o…
German, speaking English on a daily basis, had 8 years of English in school and 9 years of Latin, which probably helped me a bit. (Though I hope my teachers don't read this)
Does anyone know a similar test for grammatical proficiency?

I am in a similar situation and my estimated vocabulary size is 10100 words. Doh! :D
I am at 10.200 being studying Enlgish for 8 years and using it on a daily basis for social and professional life. My level of English is above almost all my pears from I come from.
Sorry for the pun but since this is a thread about vocabulary and it's sunday when most of the regulars are away instead of procrastinating at work anyway I hope I may be forgiven.

They could also test you on some of the less-recognized words you selected to help identify cheating.
OR they could actually make it a REAL test, e.g. multiple choice I scored far lower than I would have expected, which although it hurts my ego a bit, I can easily dismiss because of the nature of this test.
In all the exams I had in my life, from 1st grade to BS in CS, I only had one multiple choice test.

Spanish here. Got an estimated vocabulary size of 17,7000 words. I lived and worked in the U.K for a couple of years. I think I might be in a better position than some of you when it comes to words derivated from Latin, as they are almost always the same in Spanish. Leaving those out I am sure I would get similar results.
