Hi David, thank you!

Indeed, using frequency alone will lead to a suboptimal set of sentences. Our approach was to choose sentences that increase smoothly in complexity, where we estimate complexity through a combination of criteria: frequency of vocab, tenses, number of clauses, etc.

Just purchased. Excellent quality!

I wasn’t sure how many sentences were included but bought anyway (you might want to add this to the FAQ unless somehow I missed it elsewhere). Seems to be about 2000 sentences per deck. Learning Spanish so this gives me access to 6000 sentences.

Well done!

That’s interesting to use ML to build the levels!
