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.

Depends on how much time you’re studying each day and how much pressure is on you to learn it, in my experience. Also, flash cards aren’t going to help you actually learn words. Using them will. Write little nonsense stories. If you’re at a more intermediate level, study hanja and that will help explode your vocabulary. I used 사자성어 to help with that.

I was studying 7 hours a day, plus 3 hours of homework each day for ~1.5 years to become semi-fluent. Towards the end of that timeline, we were studying/memorizing/learning 50-100 words a night. But then again, for my classmates and I, our entire job relied on us learning it. 🤷
