There is a website where you can click on 120 languages (by the way it’s less than 2 percent of all the spoken languages), and when you click on a language you find yourself on a page that lists you the ”top 1,000 words” in that language.
To be a “functional beginner” means you have learnt about 250-500 words in a language.
Of course, memorizing the listed thousand words doesn’t make you a functional beginner because it takes much more ”to function” than learning words.
What makes this website interesting and useful is that whatever langauge you speak you can check here what is regarded the ”top 1,000 words” in that language and find out if you know all of them.
If you want to give it a try

(By the way, there are about 6,500 spoken languages.)
