I've been studying Japanese for 5 years and I'm N3 at best (I did the exam in December, I don't know if I passed it yet).
My daily routine:
– Flashcards: 15-30 minutes.
– Grammar flashcards: 15-30 minutes.
– Reading: 15 minutes.
– Watching stuff: 30 minutes (mix of JA+EN and JA+JA).
– Conversation: 30 minutes.
– Listening: 20 minutes.
I feel I should be progressing much faster. Moreover, my retention for vocabulary is abysmal (maybe 60% on the average session; I do my flashcards on JPDB). What am I doing wrong?

Are you truly doing all of this daily?
r u serijous
about the time you put in, and say why are you not progressing
thats natural , you need to put atleast 3 hours every day
and flashcards and grammer study do not count in those three hours
what count is reading and watching stuff
then you will improve or you will keep struggling
r u not ashamed to say that you are putting 30 minutes a day on reading and then say why i am not improving
if you want to improve why are you not doing more .
and when you watch , do you not listen , what are you doing bro
i am putting 5 hours a day and in 6 months in
and able to watch intermidiate stuff that is for learner and able to pick up words and sentences in native material too
Increase your reading and listening compared to the other stuff. When listening make sure its extensive. Rewind when you dont quite catch something. I’ve been at it 10 years lol T-T
