i found i was banging my head against the same 300 odd words for months, i kinda stopped trying to make those stick before i moved on, I pushed on and branched out, trying loads of apps, loads of vids etc , usual stuff, most i didnt understand, then words started to stick, i could recall loads in that sea of confusion. I realised that after 9 months the ones that were now acquired were the ones i learnt at 3 months … At a year the ones i first studied at 6 months were now sticking…
So my eventual point is, for me, there is a 6 month buffer…
so keep pushing on with anki and everything, but dont keep working over the same old stuff as i will probobaly take 6months of exposure to that word …before it sticks…some will just stick right away.
