Carrying a vocabulary book from A to Z — you know better than anyone how well that actually works.

Recently I came across a website called 英语台词社 (English Script Society). Its approach is quite different — it organizes subtitles from a large number of movies and American TV shows into a searchable corpus, currently containing script text from over 54,000 films and more than 4,000 TV series.

The practical uses are pretty straightforward: you can use it to practice listening, do shadowing, and look up natural expressions in specific lines. Rather than grinding through a textbook by rote, it’s better to see how native speakers actually talk in real scenarios.

@hx831126: Let me start with someone you've probably never heard of. In 1930, British linguist C.K. Ogden did something rather obsessive: he studied the entire English vocabulary and asked a question — if only the most essential words could remain, would English still work? His answer: 850 words, enough.
