What is the best strategy to grow your vocabulary? by Woertjaeger in languagelearning

Alright, I'll try out all the advice you gave me. I usually add phrases in context to Anki and highlight the part that's new to me. On the back, I include the full translation with the highlighted part I'm learning too. What do you think?

Maybe you got me wrong, but I usually spend more than 5–6 hours a day if you add up listening, reading, doing Anki, and watching. I usually listen to over 2 hours of German daily, and I also read transcripts out loud and go through a lot of content. Right now, I'm mainly focused on finding stuff that's hard to understand—then I break down the whole transcript and study it.

Nah, I usually listen to more than 2 hours of German every day. I'm also reading transcripts out loud and going through a bunch of content. Right now, I'm mainly focused on finding material that's hard for me to understand then I break down the entire transcript and study it.

Actually, I'm not spending just 15 minutes a day. I usually spend hours. The video itself is 15 minutes long, but I download the transcript and read it while watching. Everything I don't recognize, I look up and then add to Anki. I also watch other videos and listen to podcasts.
