I don't know if that's encouraging or depressing. I'm pretty sure I'd have to make that my full-time job, to keep it up. Especially for all my languages... It's not, of course, a problem of looking at 100 words, or even just remembering them for the day. It's that I'm going forget most of them the next day.

Anyway...
Yeah, 100 new words a day doesn't really sound too feasible, I sewn an ad on facebook for the app Babble giving a challenge to learn a new language in 3 weeks, I don't think that's how it works, maybe if you go and completely immerse yourself in the language (probably by traveling to the country of the language you're learning), then maybe you might learn to speak it, but even that is a bit idealistic of a goal (and again probably not very feasible either).
