The description of the Fluency Fast Track for German is “Play 19,983 sentences with 19,983 unique cloze-words in order of difficulty.” However, the clozes do not all seem to be unique. This screenshot shows two sentences with the cloze word “liebt” (and the same meaning, “loves”) not only in the same round, but one right after the other. See the bottom of the image.
Again, the word has the same meaning in both sentences.
Also, I found three instances of “geboren”.
I find this depressing. I gave up playing the 4,000 Most Common collection because it was so much work to manually mark all the duplicates I encountered. I thought that if I played the Fluency Fast Track, I might have to spend some time at first going through familiar words, but eventually I’d get far enough into the less common range that the exercise would be worthwhile. I told myself that at least I wouldn’t have to waste my time on dealing with duplicates. But I guess I was wrong.
You’re right! Thanks for letting us know. It looks like there are currently 110 duplicate clozes affecting 225 sentences. When a sentence is reported, our current approach is to fix the issue however best and not worry about the uniqueness of the cloze with the rationale that sentence quality is more important. Fortunately 225 is still a rather small number of sentences out of 19983, ~1.1%, but we’ll aim to redistribute those clozes or remove the duplicate sentences to your points, especially so the description remains accurate.
It never fails to impress me that any queries and/or complaints here receive a prompt and helpful response from @mike. So very different from you-know-where
Is this referring to all courses or specifically German? I just started Level 1 in Mandarin Chinese and have seen quite a few duplicates. I posted one above for 我 and just encountered a few more.
