Quick Question for Anki Users

[dampingwire]

Hmm I guess I'll just stick with the limit for now. It's hard because right now they're so easy that I spend around 5 minutes in Anki xD

If you really are spending that little time in Anki and you'd be happy to spend more time reviewing, then try raising the daily limit a little. You can always drop it back to the default if you feel that Anki starts to suck up too much time.

I think I've seen a cram option).

I know there is a cram function, but I went looking for it this morning and could not find it.

As for messing with Anki's settings, I agree with everyone else. If you are pretty much a beginner with Anki, leave all the settings alone.

I found it in the online manual:

I feel people are missing the question completely...

I would make a new, separate deck and add them to that. Single words with maybe the sentence they were taken from? Just use the default of 20 new cards a day.
Actually I've just started using cloze cards so I'd probably do that and the 38 words would probably end up as about 100 cards. I'd still have a separate deck and twenty new cards per day.

In ancient days, when I tried to learn every single new word in a page I was reading, I used to scan to get new words and then I would memorize them before I would ever read the passage. How many new words you do a day depends on how much review you can stand.
Less is probably better than more.
The new words will still be there tomorrow.

Emk's advice is spot on for me too, and I've tried different flash card schedules ranging from inputting hundreds a day, where I quickly burned out, to one card a day for a fun experiment that quite didn't get past the first furlong. I now simply aim to queue up about 10 new phrases in my target language every day I study, and keep an eye on the total "Cards by Due Date (SR)" in the app I use on my phone (Flashcards Deluxe) to ensure it doesn't go over 50 reviews in the week ahead. If it is set to go over 50 reviews, I temporarily scale back my daily intake, and think about excluding (but not deleting) cards a bit more aggressively that make me repeatedly "groan" (as emk so aptly puts it). And if I fall ill or happen to skip several days due to other commitments, and those flash cards pile up in the meantime, I simply just use the "Push Back Due Dates" facility to bring the number of cards due for review today back to normal.
