B1 English – 600 Vocabulary

Build the foundation for your English success.

Learning English vocabulary shouldn't feel like guesswork. At the B1 level, you need words that are practical, useful, and genuinely relevant to everyday communication. That's exactly what this book delivers.

What's Inside

600 carefully selected words organised into 20 thematic sets—from Communication Verbs to Phrasal Verbs. Each set covers 30 essential words that B1 learners actually need, not obscure terms you'll never use.

Mini-tips with practical usage advice and common mistakes to avoid

Test Your Progress

Each thematic set includes a complete 40-mark progress test with four parts:

Match words to meanings

A full answer key is included, so you can study independently and track your improvement.
