Sie hat in kurzer Zeit einen beachtlichen Wortschatz aufgebaut.
She has built up a considerable vocabulary in a short time.
The word is made up of the prefix 'be-', the verb 'achten' (to pay attention to), and the ending '-lich' (-ly/-able). Something that is 'beachtlich' (considerable) therefore literally deserves attention and recognition.

'stolz' and 'beachtlich' can both show that something is impressive. In connection with numbers, quantities, or prices, they can be close in meaning: 'eine stolze Summe' and 'eine beachtliche Summe' are both high amounts. However, 'beachtlich' is broader and can also describe achievements, progress, or results that deserve recognition. In this meaning, 'stolz' mainly fits with high numbers or prices. Learners may confuse the words because both express something positive or impressive. Remember: 'beachtlich' describes that something deserves attention; 'stolz' often emphasizes a surprisingly high number.
