there are many difference between english words and asia words like japanese and chinese. i used to try to remember 10 words everyday. so ,i thought, i would know 3650 words a year!! but, it is wrong. my teachers told me at least 30 at one time. some people who are talented learn 30/day, then repeat them on the next day, the next week, at same time they keep learning new words everyday. some students prefer: monday, 50new words.tuesday, repeat them, wed, repeat...generally you can keep them in mind on wed or thur. then new words... you don't need to handle all meaning and grammar. it can be accumulated in reading. the modes vary individuallly.
