Suggestion: teach sentences that start easy then introduce harder sentences
 
While searching for anki decks, I came across this deck ankiweb.net/shared/i nfo/1089240419
 
This deck teaches French by giving very simple sentences, then introducing new vocab. From frequencylists.blogs pot.com/2016/08/5000 -french-sentences-so rted-from.html :
1) I grabbed a list with the 4000 most frequently used french words -- sorted from the most frequently used, to the least.
 
2) I grabbed 60 000 translated french sentences from the internet (no longer than 6 words)
 
3) I wrote a program that assigns a Frequency Rank Number to each word from every sentence, this Frequency Rank Number based on the list mentioned on item "1)"
 
4) This program calculates the average value of the all the words' Frequency Rank Numbers. And assigns this value to the sentence.
 
The result is that if a sentence contains advanced words, the sentence will have a high Average Frequency Rank Number. If a sentence contains only beginner words, the AFRN will be low.
 
5) Finally, I sorted the sentences: from the ones with the lowest AFRN, to the highest.
 
The end result is that this list begins with very, very simple sentences, and new words get slowly introduced as you progress.
 
I feel like something like this can be done on tagalog.com. We already have the infrastructure for it!
