>>154621These problems are mainly a lack of immersion and flashcards do not deserve a bad reputation from them. Flashcards help you understand the immersion, that's what they're for. Flashcards are not meant to make you master and output language.
When you use flashcards, you need to accept them as vague template database entries in your brain waiting for input. Always assume you don't understand a word until you've seen it dozens of times in context, and most likely your brain won't try to use them if you've only seen them in writing either. Eventually you can also switch to Japanese dictionary flashcards. Some of the JP definitions will still be vague and immersion will eventually solve most of these.
If anon is a neet, 1 hour of flashcards in the morning and 10 hours of immersion is reasonable. Eventually anon will either run out of mined flashcards or increase the difficulty of whatever anon is reading and watching to get new flashcards.
Of course you don't have to use flashcards if you don't want to and overreliance on them is bad and arguably someone who isn't a neet and has more limited time should just immerse or use a *very* low flashcard amount for common words they know they struggle with and nothing else so they don't lose precious immersion time, but they are a godsend for people who have to learn how to read thousands of kanji and people who want to learn how to read an insane amount of words a year. I also have some mined cards that I end up just suspending immediately when I get to them, it means I learned those naturally, but I have an considerable amount of cards that show up and I don't even remember coming across it before. These would take forever to remember how to input without anki, but I still want to learn them fast.
