Meanwhile an obviously more complex sentence "Tom le dijo a Mary que había visto a John con Alice." ("Tom told Mary that he'd seen John with Alice.") is ranked as #3. The sentence "Es lunes" ("It is monday") seems relatively simple to me and yet here it is ranked as #1552. 1179 (~13% of the total) of these sentences are arbitrarily ranked as having a difficulty of 5001. Ranking according to a frequency dictionary is a good idea but it's stymied by proper nouns and an imperfect frequency dictionary.

This deck has an improvement over Clozemaster whereby if there are multiple instances of a cloze word in a sentence, they are all hidden. Note however, that this is not a list of the 9000 most common words tested as clozes in sentences, there simply wasn't enough source material to get enough unique sentences to do that, although most common words are very well represented. Sentences thus start easy and get harder (in vocabulary grammar can't be guaranteed to be "easy" at the start).Įach Spanish word is introduced as a cloze once to reduce the number of sentences, much in the same way as Clozemaster's fluency fast track.
