It is worth noting that the claim that this familiarity idea for gismu has =
never been tested.  While there are anecdotal claims of how it helped learn=
ing some words, there are about the same number of anecdotes about how it m=
istaught or slowed the learning of others.  In any case, the advantage over=
 random words seems slight and probably not enough to offset the advantages=
 of more controlled word development (equitable spread, useful rafsi, etc.)=
