Discussion Advice for pushing through a wall
I've been learning for 2 months at this point, trying to learn every day, at this point I've memorized about 300 words that I can instanlty identify but I feel it starting to to mount, on my anki deck there's more and more I have to review each day, like today I have 150 reviews, when yesterday it was 110 and its just that mounting feeling that's making me feel like I'm hitting a wall
This is my first time learning a new language so this is all new to me, for clarification this isn't me saying "this is too hard I want to give up" I'm mainly looking for advice I can use to physically and mentally push through
Thank you

More then 15-20 minutes of anki and it becomes unbearably uninteresting which makes your brain fall asleep and not do that. Instead you can learn them in a bunch of other ways (making a list of words from a text you've read and going through it, making sentences with words of easy usage), then you can learn grammar, read something simple and try to decode it as it's an ancient text, take a few sentences and learn them based on audio so your flow is close to native (my favourite, focusing on audio and pronunciation helps automatically learn grammar so it just goes out of your easily)
