An hour is quite a bit of time for 100 cards. What’s your recall percentage like? Do your cards have context clues, like phrases, sentences, or even voice clips?
I’ve felt a lot better about my progress once I cut my Anki time down myself, so I certainly agree with the idea of trying to budget more time elsewhere.
80% recall for Young cards. It’s pretty bad for any card 1 day or less, but I guess I’m reasonably confident that 2-day or larger interval cards have very high chance of me recalling.
An hour is a bad day where I need lots and lots of reviews. But it happens sometimes.
Maybe I’m trying too hard to recall without failing myself.
I will say that I am aiming at perfect spelling, pronunciation and gender. So ‘Das Stadt’ is wrong (Die Stadt is the correct Gender). But German is a very precise language and I feel it necessary to drill at least to this level.
Being picky about it seems like a good idea. I do the same with Japanese; the only thing I don’t fail myself on is pitch accent (Japanese has a high/low pitch thing). Everything else has to be right.
I do catch myself sitting on a card longer than I should at times, though if a session goes long for me it usually means I’m shadowing a lot of sentences out loud. I don’t think I’ve seen specific guidance on how long per card is too long, although if I go longer than around 10 seconds on a card it does start to feel like I’ve lost flow.
