It's possible to learn 100 words a day. What I don't know is how long someone can keep up this pace.

@lingqenglish
Congratulations!
I hope you don't mind the hints below:
I think "fleeby" should be "feebly", and "wiastcoat" (liemene, maybe) should be "waistcoat" or vest. I'm not sure what the difference is. "Dog days" is an expression with no hyphen (afaik).

Typo =)))) In my head everyting is good =)))) Dictionary says dog-days. By the way when I say a native English speaker suddently I become very jealous =) Today you are first my victim -))))
It may be possible for me to review the 100 words a day, which I've ever encountered in various contexts but don't remember actively. However, it's impossible to learn absolutely new ones without connecting with various authentic materials.

Recently, I listen and repeat many short phrases, this way I can also review many words, increasing active ones.
Which dictionary are you using? I'm not sure what you mean by "first my victim". You can look up "dog days" on wikipedia if you like. I checked one of the Oxford dictionaries and the words are not hyphenated.

@Shigeharu
Yes, I agree that it's difficult to learn (at least for me) random words without context.
