I know my little brother, which is 5 and half of the time I don't know what he's talking about. Although it's much easier to communicate with my cousin's son which is also 5. Still, saying that they are very effective at communicating is a huge exaggeration, since they can only say simple sentences.
Well when they're five they're very them-centric. They're not really interested in conversation, they're more interested in just telling you huge amounts about their own lives. It's all very interesting stuff about the yogurt they've just eaten.
Most 5-year-olds have hundreds of words in their vocabulary.
Sounds about right, and that's not that much.
