For those of you who use a sentence mining SRS setup with an immersion-heavy comprehensible input approach to studying, how do you make use of your SRS study time?
I’m at a level where I consume only native content, and for the most part I can at least get the gist of just about anything I read. I make sure to spend some time doing both extensive and intensive reading. When doing intensive reading, I do a haphazard mix of sentence mining with Yomitan + Anki, and custom decks on jpdb.io.
However, a lot of words I know are such that I know what it means in context, but I often forget it out of context, and rarely can actively recall it as my own output. I feel like a large amount of my vocab is stuck in this state even though they’re showing up in my SRS every few days. I’m also inconsistent about whether some of these deserve the “Again” button versus the “Good” button.
The only words that truly “graduate” from this stage are the ones I happen to encounter in a new context out in the wild, like through some other book I’m reading or in conversation with my friends.
Is this fine? Is there a more efficient approach to this? Will this sort itself out as I continue to do more extensive reading/listening/taking in input?
Please tell me about your upper-level vocab building tips, tricks, experiences, etc!
