What each step buys you
Learn the first 100 words of Georgian and you follow 46.5% of everyday speech. The first 1000 take you to 68.7%. After that every thousand words buys less than the thousand before it, which is exactly why the order matters.

|---|---|---|
| 10 | 21.2% | |
| 50 | 39.3% | |

Where the numbers come from
Frequencies counted over the OpenSubtitles 2018 dialogue corpus, 1,090,991 tokens of Georgian in total. Lists compiled by Hermit Dave, released under CC BY-SA 3.0. Subtitles skew towards conversation, which is the point: this is the language people speak, not the language people publish.
