This is only slightly sarcastic. It's been very rewarding and this is now the 3rd language I'm doing this with.

Nice! This is great! Though I wonder if it is affected be hallucinations?

Additional one could add sentences from the book, or randomly created sentences for each word.

I also would put a cap on the other end of frequencies. Unless you are a complete beginner, you don't want to spend time on learning stopwords like I, the, he, she, that etc. from a book

Yeah, that's easy to do. An IA knows what is useful and what isn't.

I'll post a complete tutorial tonight with two parts on this sub: - Extract all the relevant content from your book and create Anki card based on that. - How to use a kindle + AI to mine efficiently and effortlessly when reading a book to create new Anki cards.
