Notes

This deck’s word list was clearly sourced from a corpus of court proceedings, film production, and theatrical productions, which is strange. There are words that were common in the source text but may not be as common in everyday life. Despite that I’ve found the deck to be quite useful and I haven’t felt that it’s diminished my acquisition of the language. Sometimes I just skip/exclude cards that seem too esoteric.
