The new approach to vocabulary

It's been a long time since I posted here, and my Finnish hasn't progressed much at all. But today I read an article that pointed out that if you learn 3 new words in a foreign language every day, you'll have a vocabulary of over a thousand words. And in English, 70% of what is written uses just that amount of vocabulary. So perhaps it's time to start that in Finnish:

haalari overalls
ikä age (how old you are)
juttu thing
