Ukraine knows the location of every nuclear power plant and oil wells in russia. Ukr has more cards than Trump thinks.

He is scared of a little competition in agriculture, more reason to add Ukraine to EU. competition is good for consumers.

A stupid person is the one who boast he can end a war (not ceasefire) in 24 hours but fails to do it like a loser.

Great. I will look into that. I was planning to share how to sentence mine from games someday.

I used the refold French deck for my first 1k words. As I was looking into the German version FAQ, I noticed they included the show which they used to extracts the high frequency words from (french FAQ doesn’t have this info :( ). That information might be useful for content to consume while doing the 1k deck.

That happened to me too, when I first started reading a book/graded reader. I think one of the reason was due to lack of vocab and lack of knowledge of commonly used tenses and grammar.

My research lead to this wiki article. It gave me an idea how many high freq words I need to know to read books.

The effects of vocabulary size on language comprehension The knowledge of the 3000 most frequent English word families or the 5000 most frequent words provides 95% vocabulary coverage of spoken discourse.[21] For minimal reading comprehension a threshold of 3,000 word families (5,000 lexical items) was suggested[22][23] and for reading for pleasure 5,000 word families (8,000 lexical items) are required.[24] An “optimal” threshold of 8,000 word families yields the coverage of 98% (including proper nouns).[23]

I wonder if those 5k Anki premade deck on ankiweb are based on those numbers. Anyway, I completed a 1k deck a while back. Now, I am going through a 5k deck to test myself and also see new words. But I mostly do sentence mining from books and games. I use Anki addons AnkiMorphs and FrequencyMan to keep track of how many words I’ve seen or know. It is mostly an experimental for me, not sure if it is good or bad.

It is going to take me a while to complete that book since I am reading it intensively looking up everything I don’t understand. L’Étranger doesn’t use the passé simple tense so I went with it after trying several other books. Passé simple only seems to be used in books but not used in spoken French.

I also read graded readers like those from CLE to have something easier to read with hardly any lookups. InnerFrench podcast transcript are also good for easy read.

Ask your teacher to give you homework.

I tried several deck but the one I completed was the Refold Deck for French, Now I am going through a “5000 most frequently used French words” mainly just to test myself. Other than that I mostly sentence mine from books I am reading.
