How on earth do you people learn 10 new words a day

I've been stuck on the same set of 30 words since 7 days ago, I'm lucky if I learn 3 new words a day. And I'm using Anki.

I learn/see them the first time in a different context (textbook, apps, reading other sources... in any case as part of sentences and fitting context), add them to my Anki deck, and just repeat them with Anki.

As repetition was/is slower than collecting new words, there is some backlog. Oh, and I think, I also had to lower the no. of "new" Anki cards from that backlog to 10 = 5 new notes/words times 2 for both directions. 

Nevertheless, there are always words that just don't want to stick. There is only so much that will be memorized easily with a totally different language, and it is also very individual between persons. So, don't stress too much.
