Here are 285 sentences graded from very simple to slightly more complex:

Here are 269 more graded sentences that pick up where the previous set left off and

I have about 1200 more sentences, graded from medium simple to very complex, but
I haven't uploaded them to my web site yet.

I learn all sorts of interesting things about my conlangs by trying to translate
some of these sentences.
