Same for me. Due to several basic words and phrases being spammed at me through the regular strengthen skills I switched over to the timed practice after reading several comments about it giving better variety. That seems to be true except for the fact that I have been forced to translate 'en familj' along with the picture literally every single time (upwards of 30 at least).

I find it's easier to go to individual skills that are missing bars and strengthen those individually... Even then occasionally you get the same sentence 3 or 4 times in a row.
