I was thinking of making a couple modifications to the algorithm once a
complete replica was made:

1) Using word frequencies to alter how frequently a word is tested.
2) Tracking error rates on both L->E and E->L directions. (Possibly using
   an aging algorithm... it will need tuning.)
3) Providing multiple correct answers for translation. (I'm not so sure
   about this one.)

Any comments?
