Looks good.
Why these particular words/sentences? Is this based on frequency? Something else?
I was trying to learn Spanish based off of frequency dictionaries at one point, but many didn’t provide conjugations of the verbs which made it questionable to learn.
I was even contemplating creating something myself that would take the top 5000 words and make complete sentences out of them... using conjugations of course.
- amelo 6y agoHi 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.
- ngokevin 6y agoThat’s interesting to use ML to build the levels!
- davidg109 6y agoJust 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!
