I've been doing duolingo for about a month now. But I started thinking it has no clear direction of teaching. Like, it never feels like I'm learning something that would be on an actual conversation. So I decided trying Anki, as I heard a lot about it.
I imported a popular deck I heard of (Kaishi 1.5k) and although I think it is great, cause in those 3 days of use it already showed a lot of useful words that duolingo has never touched, like some time related terms (毎日、今、全然) and some verbs.
The thing is, although I'm kinda getting used to the words, it really seems that it was intended that I learned them elsewhere and used Anki as practice. How do you guys learn actual vocabulary? Is is just consuming anime, music, etc or is there some tool I can use to focus on specific bits of vocab?
