I've done only the first lesson so far, but I found it interesting that "mom" and "dad" were among the words I learned. I don't know if these words were chosen because they have few letters, because they have cognates in many other languages, or because it simulates learning a language naturally ("mom" and "dad" are probably among the first words learned in one's native language). Maybe some combination of these.
I'm starting to lose track of how many languages I'm learning now, so - mostly for my own future reference - here's a list (plus when I started):
