Quote:The Corpus is a useful and interesting collection of matched Japanese and English sentence pairs, however it cannot be regarded as containing natural or representative examples of text in either languageFrom: http://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/Tanaka_Corpus
Because what you have is the Tanaka Corpus, and it's got a lot of mixed reviews.
Haven't read it yet, but here's a thread discussing what's so bad about it:

I appreciate you sharing a resource that you found helpful and you wanted to help everyone.
I'm just warning you that it might not be as good as you hope it might be.
I don't mean to be negative.
By all means, welcome to the boards.

Check Asriel's post. Tanaka corpus is not what you think it is.

It is still a very useful resource for getting many example sentences for unknown vocabulary. I have it bookmarked for teaching English to students.

This might be just me, but I find that decks of sentences and vocab are good when you already know what they mean, i.e. they are actually just a review. It feels like half the learning process is in making the deck.
For this reason I don't use other peoples pre-built decks. Its annoying as hell for me to find something in a deck review that I just haven't studied before.
