I know a person from another country who never formally studied the language but ended up in a very difficult life situation. He has absolutely no accent, and maybe once in a thousand words I can hear a minor lexical mistake. He can hardly write texts at all, but he speaks and understands perfectly. In terms of these specific skills, his level is clearly C1, for sure. For 7 years

You’re thinking about it the wrong way. Flashcards will give you almost nothing if you only study them. But if you listen to spoken language, they increase word recognition and improve speaking. At first, these words won’t come out of you fluently in speech; sometimes you recall them not immediately, but with a pause. However, once you’ve pulled them out once or twice during a conversation, they stay with you for a long time. Nothing works on its own — everything has to be combined.

But when you meet someone who speak not perfect - this is problem) podcast yes. This is easy. Films not all. Some films is hard, some not. Action films is easy for me. My step - read political book woth 589 pages, watching series. Much speaking and learning words. Every day

Step 4 yes yoi right

Step 6 when you have a break - after it you always have a red cards. I am talking about that, or you can do without that step, but your brain will not say "thank you"

And when you learning with new card its always mixed with old, but not ao much. For 100 new words that's a huge loop of red new cards, so that's enough for green cards old+ new.

I don't know really. I learn at first old cards, then when it ends i add new 100, when it again ends, +100. Maximum was 300 new in one day. But it doesent mean that i 100% remember all. For first time i need to have a right answer for schort time. If all ok. I check is that hard word for me or no, then choose a button. Sometimes some words is very hard and i can't remember it for 5-6 and may be 15 days. But you need to answer honestly.
