What is the number of words necessary to speak fluent English?
Language learning is not a numbers game. Fluency is not defined by WHAT you know. HOW you find your own way of expressing yourself is the important part.
Regardless of the mistakes you make, if you’re curious and passionate about learning and practicing, you can use mistakes to find out HOW to keep improving your speech. And you’ll naturally become fluent in English before you know it.
Grammar is acquired from the very start of learning language as an infant, by listening to parents and other people around the child when they're talking. Children continue learning grammar as they grow and develop. They learn the grammar of the people around them, whatever language is being spoken, until they reach elementary school and begin to learn the rules for grammar. Children of any age can learn the grammar of new languages and adults can too; but the older you are when you are learning a language, the more the grammar of that language will need to be taught, unlike acquiring it as you grow.
Grammar is one of the most important factors in speaking any language. Even the smallest task in daily life, such as buying something from a store, or buying a house or apartment, will be much easier to accomplish with a good understanding and use of grammar.
Why should children read friction?

The way I learned Filipino (Tagalog) is by watching the Filipino channel and it's good to have someone translate then you will soon notice you can learn bits and parts till you can say sentences.

What is the hardest language to learn?
There is not one language that is universally recognized as the hardest to learn. Everyone learns their native language as an infant, usually without difficulty unless they suffer from learning disabilities, hearing problems, etc. The difficulty of learning other languages depends on how closely they are related to your native language.
If your native language is Japanese, Chinese may not be too difficult to learn, but French or Algonquin may be very difficult. If your native language is English, French may be relatively easy to learn but Japanese or Mayan may be very difficult to learn.
English may be the hardest language to learn if it is not your first language and your first language isn't in the Germanic Language group. English is a confusing language because of all the words that sound the same and all the words that have multiple meanings like their they're and there. And set has the most meanings of any word in the English language.
Chinese can be difficult for some because of the writing system. Each word has it's own symbol making it hard for reading and vocabulary. Also, there are many dialects. Mandarin Chinese can be difficult for people whose native languages are very different fro Chinese because of its' complex tonal rules, which means saying something in a higher or lower pitch will change its meaning.
There is no such thing as a "hardest language" or an "easiest language". It depends on the person. A major factor is how different your native language is vs. the target language.
Many people believe that English or Mandarin are the hardest languages, but this is not universally true.

Is French a more economical language than English?
In terms of the number of letters and words typically used to express an idea, English is more economical.
English often shortens phrases by using a noun to modify another noun, as in "ham sandwich." In French the main noun (sandwich) would come first, followed by "de jambon," equivalent to "of ham."
Many words that are cognate between the two languages may be spelled with more letters in French. For example, "blue" always has four letters in English. French "bleu" has four letters basically, but will have a "e" added if the noun it modifies is feminine, and/or an "s" if the noun is plural.
American English uses even fewer letters than British, as in "program"--in place of "programme" in both French and British English.

A functional unit may or may not contribute directly to the sales/output of the business/organization (for example, accounts, salary payments and personnel services are generally functional areas/units of a business/organization, but they only indirectly contribute to the sales/outputs of the business/organization).
A functional objective is an objective to achieve something that is in the area of allocated responsibilities/functions of the functional area/unit.
