Yes, it happens more than you'd imagine.

I, personally, just am reading a novel series Japanese, 8 books in. While reading, I have highlighted all the words/parts I didn't know in order to export them and make flashcards out of them. I haven't still started going through them, but the thought of doing so feels laborious, so procrastinating is bound to happen.




Finnish is a second language to me and what I've found better than flash cards is to just write down words I don't know as I'm reading. Initially this can seem terribkt slow because each book with have its own vocabularly set. As I continue if I read a word I don't know zi scan the list briefly. If it isn't there or I fail to see it I write it down again.

Has worked well for me.
