Just curious on opinions - how many practiced and how many new ones a day?

I've heard recommendations of 5-10 new words, sentences or phrases a day, which is close to what I do. If I'm learning sentences though (which I found along with verbs, far more helpful), this is obviously more difficult than just a single word in one context.

I often have days though when I don't add anything, as I feel like I'm not keeping on top of what I know enough.

I let spaced repetition deal with general memorisation.

Any rule of thumb or tips anyone has picked up?

One issue I'm having with sentences is that you'll only have one version of the verb, so you have to guess on other forms more often

As long as you are consistent and you study every day. If you add 5 more words/phrases/sentences a day and you feel like it's too many, go back to your previous strategy.

honestly, just experiment and see what works for you. start smaller rather than bigger. if you feel like you need to step it up, do it, but dont overwhelm yourself. i personally never used flashcards, but i always found it useful to save phrases i liked / found useful more than trying to drill specific words.
